itch.io Community » Game Development » Get Feedback · Created a new topic I Built Racine Carrée Calculator as a Learning Project — Looking for Honest Feedback
When I started building a Free Racine Carrée Calculator, I thought it would be a straightforward project. A calculator seems like one of the simplest types of tools to create, but I quickly realized that even small projects involve many decisions that affect the overall user experience.
The idea behind this project came from seeing how often people need quick answers for basic calculations. Whether it’s a student checking homework, a teacher preparing lessons, or someone working with numbers who needs a fast result, having a simple tool available can save time.
Instead of building a calculator filled with unnecessary options, I wanted to focus on creating a clean and focused experience for one specific purpose: calculating square roots quickly and easily.
During the development process, I learned that simplicity is not always easy to achieve. Things like page layout, input design, mobile responsiveness, and making the tool understandable for different types of users all required careful thought.
The current version allows users to enter a number and get the square root result instantly. It works directly in the browser without requiring downloads or complicated setup, making it accessible whenever someone needs it.
One of the biggest lessons I learned from this project is that even small tools can be improved significantly through community feedback. A feature that seems unnecessary to one person might be valuable to another user.
I’m sharing this project here because I’d like to hear from people who enjoy using, testing, or building simple web tools.
A few questions I’d love your thoughts on:
- What features would make a basic calculator tool more useful for students or professionals?
- Do you prefer calculators that only show results, or should they also explain the calculation steps?
- What makes a small web tool feel trustworthy and easy to use?
- Are there any accessibility improvements you think should be added?
- What other math-related tools would you find useful in your daily work or studies?
I’m continuing to improve this project and would appreciate any feedback, ideas, or suggestions from the community.
Thank you for taking the time to read and share your thoughts.
