For anyone who uses this program. I do personally and it is a very useful program indeed however I do feel it is a bit outdated and not as easy to use as could be. If you were to change anything with it what would that be?

is it just a nute calc?

 

[michojay]

Pretty much but it’s a pretty good platform. To me it’s just a bit outdated and could be a little easier for people to use. My son is a programmer and is going to basically redesign it for me so I thought I’d ask around and see if anyone had any input on the matter or what they would like in a program like that.

You can just do it with an excel spreadsheet.

Or pen & paper while we're offering obvious alternatives that no one is asking for.

Sure, if you like to do a lot of math, have fun with that.

You absolutely can. I just feel it could be a lot easier that that and not everyone is able to build an exel sheet to do all of that. Isn’t easier to just have a webpage or program that you can just go plug the numbers into?

But there are already spreadsheets made to do all the calculations. As far as what's easier, I guess it depends on whether you prefer to rely on a website or if you prefer to just open excel. I mean, sure, you could build a Python script that runs in the background of a website to do the calcs too.

The excel sheet is already built... You can edit it if you want it to do something different

That’s pretty funny. No I have no desire to “build a website soo people will visit”. As far as what I dislike is that I have downloaded the entire thing several times and for some reason it tends to crash on me. The software used to build it is outdated. I thought that if it was a simple web page that was easy to use and not have to download anything to my already overworked computer or maybe even just go to on a phone or tablet would be better. Also the program doesn’t work well with Mac. This place has gotten crazy. So many people on here just wanna jump on people shit. This used to be a pretty good community with lots of knowledge and people wanting to help each other WTF happened to that?
