The Calculator I Helped Ship Is Getting a Reboot

Hello,

Riccardo’s writing up the Calculator app reboot — scientific mode, a favourites/history feature, a cleaner design, all built on MathJs. Feels a bit strange in a good way: the app we scraped together the first release of back in 2013 is outdated enough now to need a proper rebuild.

He signed off the post with:

“If you need help, or have feedback, write me a mail or join #ubuntu-app-devel on Freenode and ping me (rpadovani) or Bartosk (gang65) or Mihir (mihir).”

Haven’t touched the Calculator codebase in over a year — I’ve been heads down on Calendar since late 2013 — but apparently I’m still one of three names people get pointed to on that app. Good excuse to go poke around the new scientific mode once it’s further along.
