My personal favourite unit converter is here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.com&#x2F;Design&#x2F;page&#x2F;reg-standards-converter.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theregister.com&#x2F;Design&#x2F;page&#x2F;reg-standards-conver...</a>

Looks nice and useful!<p>One minor feedback would be - you could move the &quot;Browse related converters&quot; section to the right panel which is empty now.

Has the same problem with time as I see elsewhere. I don&#x27;t don&#x27;t want to convert a billion seconds to number of hours and then days and then weeks and months and then years. I want to translate that to a human readable years&#x2F;months&#x2F;days&#x2F;hours&#x2F;minutes&#x2F;seconds in one click.

The red under &quot;Free Online&quot; looks weird to my eyes, like it was half crossed out with a red highlighter.<p>The helpful descriptions under the conversion doesn&#x27;t seem to switch to the ones you have selected. I expected when I switched the time from minutes to years, the box would have defined years.

I often need a quick and easy conversion tool for mapping a val from one range to another<p>Also have a hard time finding good resolution&#x2F;aspect ratio calculators<p>Finally the most fraught online calculator tooling I know of is projector throw distance and part specs calculators&#x2F;visualizers

I&#x27;m generally content with ddg converter, the only its issue it is hard to convert pounds into a metric units, because ddg stubbornly believes that the pound is a currency. It will happily convert pounds into dollars, but not into kilograms.

I find natural language much easier, it&#x27;s one single interface-- I just use raycast. If I type &quot;20ft&quot; it defaults showing in meters, so I don&#x27;t even have to type anything extra, it&#x27;s great

the color scheme is low contrast. i would recommend black and white instead

We are near “Moores law” limit for how simple a unit converter can get

Here is my feedback:<p>1. You don’t need an internet connection for simple unit conversion.<p>2. You don’t need to share data with 1400+ spy tech organizations. You don’t need cookies at all. It’s a stateless calculator.
