I would like to apologize to anyone who has had problems with the site today. Due to technical problems, the site has been down, or only partially accessible throughout the day. Although the problem is now solved, I will be monitoring the situation more closely during the next few days to make sure any arising accessibility issues are solved as soon as possible.
Over the past month, Calculator Tab has had more visitors, than over the entire past year. This has not only made me happy, but also made me remember, that there is still a lot I’ve been wanting to change.
For one thing, I wanted to get rid of the forum, as it made any potential communication with the visitors of the site cumbersome, due to the fact that registration was required to post anything. That is why I took the forum down and installed a blog instead.
And second, I have completely rewritten the script that drives the calculator, in order to make future improvements and additions to the functionality easier to implement. As I go on writing the new version, I would like to let the users of the calculator in on the latest developments and see if they have any ideas on how I could do it better. So from now on, on the “Test Drive” page, you can see the current stage of development and if you feel like it, also influence the next version of Calculator Tab with your feedback.
