I like this train of thought.
So bit of a random aside but I've often thought that an 'adding calculator on steroids' would indeed make a nice app (not 100% sure if adding calculator is the correct term, but I basically mean the sort of deal an accountant might use, where each entry is printed out on a continuous roll of paper). The place-it-on-steroids dimension, for me, boiling down to:
- Seeing the history at a glance
- History editing
- 'Complex' expressions (entering 99.95 * 2 * 1.2 on a single line)
- Comments
- Variable support
So I guess we are in some ways describing a lightweight spreadsheet, like achury noted. In practice, what I actually do now instead of opening KCalc (my distro's default calculator app) is open Node in a terminal instead.
