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 joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/ but that runs a browser.
Thank you for your suggestions.
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 rinkcalc.app
This library looks like it could be a good starting point - convert.js.org
There are a number of unit conversion libraries in JavaScript. Building your own is not that hard. A simple SPA shall suffice.
mathjs doesn’t provide 1/10 of the units available in convert.exe. It is cool and I use it for other things but it simply doesn’t cut it for this.

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.
