And now I'm sat here wondering why this isn't a default feature on calculators. It's great!
I think the simplicity really makes this work. just about anyone who can use a calculator can operate this calculator -- but that doesn't make it any less powerful. Humans are notoriously bad at intuitively dealing with uncertainty, and this calculator might very well help get a feel for it.
The only thing I'd like to see improved is the histogram, the old timey console-like graphing is cute, but not exactly easy to read or interpret. Going for a modern graphical graph and marking it with some useful percentiles would go a long way towards making it more usable.
EDIT: also -- only half facetiously -- is there a CLI/desktop/mobile app yet? Doing quick back-of-a-napkin math on your phone is a pretty useful thing.
EDIT2: Is the source available somewhere? I'm having the hardest time finding the github repo related to this page...
Thank you!
I already have a CLI tool and a library, but I'd like to make it a bit less hairy before releasing. I also want to build an iOS / Android app. But I wanted to release a web app first because that has by far the lowest barrier to entry.
ah so you did think of everything ;-)
