Huh. So it's an incomplete program that does very little now, but with enough encouragement to the author, might one day might compare with what
Juice Calculator already does. And if the author ever does complete the tool, it's hosted online and will go offline when the author stops receiving enough profit to cover the hosting bill. But we shouldn't complain, because it's "free" and the author is just following the recommendation of a friend. Where's your Patreon link?
Back in the day an author wrote a complete program that did everything to satisfy his own personal needs. And then he shared it to the community out of generosity. He didn't seek attention.
Thank you for your feedback.
You addressed some very important and valid points, let me give you my perspective on them.

Yes it is incomplete, in the sense that i have a mile long list of improvements, features and ideas to develop and implement. As of today i haven't seen a single piece of software that's "complete", the constant updates we make on our computers, mobile devices and even tv sets are proof of that.
If you think that the tool is unusable, then you haven't used it yet, it has features that no other calculator have while doing what most do. This being said, it's still in a beta stage, so some inaccuracies might appear, and the layout is not yet polished.
I like Juice Calculator, i think it's a great tool, but i'm on a linux system, and i don't want to deal with WINE (a windows emulator) just to use it.

There are a lot of advantages to an online tool that a purely machine bound tool cannot compete with, such as universal availability, instant interconnection and zero updates or configurations to go through. Of course there are downsides also, like security and speed, locally run programs are much faster and secure than a remote piece of software, if you think the tool is too slow, please tell me so i can address it, my main concern was speed and responsiveness.
I'm not receiving any profit by sharing this tool, zero.
Yes, it's free, not in quotes, very much free.
No ads, tracking cookies, sponsored content or money begging (this is what it says when you open the tool on your browser) And it will continue to be like that.
Where's your Patreon link?
I don't even have a Patreon account.

That's exactly what i'm trying to do, i don't need/want attention, i just made a single post, that was it, the rest were replies to inquires.
Bottom line is, if you think this tool is useful to you, then use it. If it's not useful, then don't use it. I'd really would like for you to try the tool without any kind of preconception and give it a run for it's money, even better if i could get some feedback to better the tool.
I really do understand your frustration and skepticism, i'm exactly the same way. One of the reasons i've made this tool was to have a calculator without ads or money begging.
Thank you for your comment, it helped me get a glimpse on the friction some people might be feeling when it comes to this calculator. And i thought people ran from it because it was too pink
Be great,
jusu.
