Hello,
I’m looking for a unit converter written in JS / client-side only that I can self-host / add to a bunch of tools I already use.
I was looking for a suggestion to get something similar to the good old https://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/ but that runs a browser.
Thank you for your suggestions.
That app was the best back in the day!
I’m not aware of a JS equivalent, but it’s something that could be written solo once you get the formulas worked out.
There are a number of unit conversion libraries in JavaScript. Building your own is not that hard. A simple SPA shall suffice.
This library looks like it could be a good starting point - https://convert.js.org/
All you need is wine-wasm (if only it existed) and youre sorted!
Cyperchef might not exactly what you are looking for, but it is selfhosted and has some conversion functions.
https://github.com/tiffany352/rink-rs is pretty cool, but it’s in rust, so you’d have to make some Wasm bindings
o wait, there is a wasm build in the repo! You could probably host their interface too?
You can try it out on https://rinkcalc.app/
