NoteCalc - Notepad Calculator
Write notes and calculate without switching apps.
What it does
NoteCalc combines a notepad and calculator so ideas, lists, budgets, expenses, formulas, and everyday math stay in one flow no app switching. Formerly Smart Notes: same app and account, new name so the promise is obvious words and numbers together, less context loss, fewer copy-paste mistakes. Built for people who mix prose with quick figures: a writing-first surface, not generic notes with a calculator widget bolted on.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
