So…… a story, why not.
There I was in 10th grade, sitting through all of my classes like a nobody, and a little too addicted to video games.
(Before you say anything, no, coding this stupid thing did not change me one bit, this is not a standard story of a ‘video game boy’ magically standing up after righting some simple tool)
In fact, it was as simple as writing this tool so that I could have more time, for that matter, to play video games. Yeah, that’s it, that’s the whole story, why not
Actually.. no, or yes, IDK
Some technical details regarding this calculator:
1, parsing the chemical formula base on parentheses, numbers, and cap letters.
2, crawling the mass of elements off a website and formatting it to a JSON file.
3, steal a template from codepen.
4, pray that it works.
If you want to look at any code, it is all in the html,

You see, it is as simple as that, anyone can write a whatever calculator that they need in 2 hours, and use it indefinitely to save let’s say two hours a week. So, yeah, the actual point of presenting this story was to show how freaking simple the development process is. I wish to encourage for open-source development in my peers and other people around me, it does not cost much time, but it saves a lot.
