160 tools is a bold scope to ship and launch — respect for actually executing on that rather than stopping at 10 "someday" ideas.

Curious how you're deciding which calculators to prioritize or iterate on. With 160 to choose from, the temptation is to keep building new ones rather than deepening the ones that already have traction. The signal you'd want is: which calculators are people coming back to, sharing, or bookmarking? That tells you where the real retention is hiding.

If you haven't already, getting qualitative feedback from users on their favorite calculators — and why — is often more useful than traffic data alone. askreal.polsia.app is good for that kind of structured early feedback. Nice work shipping this.
