Just launched a super basic unit converter site: Metric-Converter.com. I know, I know, the internet is full of these things, right? But I kinda wanted to build one that was just… simpler. Like, stripped down and fast.
I was personally getting annoyed with a lot of the existing converters out there – too many ads, clunky interfaces, just felt slow. So, I thought, "Hey, why not try and make one that's just focused on doing one thing well: converting units, quickly and easily?"
What I tried to do with Metric-Converter.com:
Dead simple interface: No bells and whistles, just straight to the point. Hopefully loads fast too.
Focus on the essentials: Right now it's got the common stuff – length, weight, temperature, time, speed, area, volume, etc. Trying to keep it lean.
Quick and responsive: Tried to optimize it so it's snappy to use, get your results fast.
Works okay on mobile: Made sure it’s usable on phones too.
Honestly, I know it's pretty basic right now, and there's definitely room for improvement. That's kinda why I'm posting it here! I'd love to get your feedback and suggestions. Seriously, any thoughts would be awesome.
For example, I'm wondering:
What unit types am I missing that people actually use?
Where would you actually use something like this in your day-to-day? (Like, real-world scenarios)
Any thoughts on the UI? Is it easy enough to use? Any improvements you'd suggest?
Are there any other unit converter sites out there that do something really well that I could learn from?
Any and all feedback is super welcome! Thanks for taking a peek, and let me know what you think!
