I took up this project as a lockdown hobby but later turned it into a serious project as I had to do something for my University Assignment.
-
The pandemic was very boring and monotonic, so I thought of making something which is necessary and fulfils the following criterias :-
- Useful
- Easy to use
- Minimalistic UX design
- Uses some GUI framework
-
Also, those days I couldn't find an appropriate calculator application online which suited my choice and designs.
-
So I thought why not try to build one for myself and the community :)
