CalcVerse is a versatile app that combines a Basic Calculator, Unit Converter, and Currency Converter with real-time updates. Built using Electron and TypeScript, this app is part of my GPTPROJECTS, where I create apps leveraging the power of ChatGPT. CalcVerse is the second project in this series.
GPTPROJECTS is a collection of applications I create using ChatGPT to assist with the development process. These projects explore various technologies and use cases, with ChatGPT guiding the design, architecture, and coding.
CalcVerse, the second project, offers a feature-packed experience with a calculator, unit conversion, and real-time currency conversion. You can contribute to this project by forking the repo and submitting pull requests with new features or bug fixes.
- Basic Calculator Functionality: Supports arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Unit Converter: Easily convert between different units (e.g., length, weight, volume, temperature).
- Currency Converter: Real-time updates with live currency exchange rates.
- History Tracking: Stores past calculations and results, with the ability to view and delete them.
- Light/Dark Mode: Adjust the theme according to your preferences.
- App Hides on Blur: The app can hide when it loses focus, and restore when refocused.
- Cross-platform: Built using Electron for easy distribution across different platforms.
To download and run CalcVerse, follow these instructions:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/aaravsagar/CalcVerse.git cd CalcVerse
Install dependencies: You need to have Node.js installed on your machine. Once you have Node.js, run the following command:
npm installHow to Build the App To build CalcVerse for your platform, follow these steps:
Install Electron Builder (if not already installed):
npm install --save-dev electron-builder
Build the app: Run the following command to build the app for your platform:
npm run build
Note: The build process is not fully functional yet, so it's recommended to run the app in development mode for the best experience.
How to Run the App in Development Mode We recommend running CalcVerse using the following command as the build isn't fully functional yet:
npm run dev
This will launch the app and allow you to see any changes in real-time as you modify the source code. Live reloading will be enabled for easy development.
