    Dear Colleagues,


    I just wanted to say hi and let you know of a new calculation site/tool I have been developing (please let me know if there are any tools you would find useful if I created for you). I have created it with engineering/technology in mind. At its core it is an online platform where it should be simple to both create, share and use calculation tools of all types. As it should be simple for anybody to use you can create calculation tools in a recognizable spreadsheet interface.

    If it sounds interesting, please have a look at #-Link-Snipped-# and let me know what you think!

    Please note that you can search use, share (and look at the underlying code) without registering, but if you want to create a tool that you can share with others you will need to register an account (it’s free).

    I hope you find it useful, and please let me know if you have any specific problems where you would find a calculation tool useful, I would be happy to create custom tools for you in the platform!

    #-Link-Snipped-# - Welcome to CrazyEngineers. Do you wish to offer API for the calculators on your site?

    Hi. Yes, that can be arranged if desired. What type of usage did you have in mind?

    I don't have any specific use in mind at this time; but this could be very useful. Let's see if others can pitch in ideas.

    Hi Kaustubh,

    I just wanted to give you a short update. I have now implemented not this, but made it possible to "embed" calcopedia tools into other pages/forums.

    That is, I have enabled embedding of "calcopedia tools/apps" using iframes. That means that you can embed them into any home page using for example the following code: (at calcopedia you can get this info by opening a tool, clicking the menu button by the tool title and choosing embed)

    < iframe src="//calcopedia.com/sapp/demo/wriser:0" style="border:0px #ffffff none; overflow-x: hidden;" height="500px" width="500px"></iframe>

    However, many forum softwares block external content by default, e.g. for wordpress you would need to install a plugin such as the iframe plugin (<a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">iframe – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org</a>) ans instead us the following code:

    [iframe src="//calcopedia.com/sapp/demo/wriser:0" height="500" width="500"]

    You can of course change the size in any way you want.

    Hi Kaustubh,

    I just wanted to give you a short update. I have now implemented embedding of Calcopedia into other pages/forums, not exactly an api but maybe covering many of the same uses.

    That is, I have enabled embedding of "calcopedia tools/apps" using iframes. That means that you can embed them into any home page using for example the following code: (at calcopedia you can get this info by opening a tool, clicking the menu button by the tool title and choosing embed)

    < iframe src="//calcopedia.com/sapp/demo/wriser:0" style="border:0px #ffffff none; overflow-x: hidden;" height="500px" width="500px"></iframe>
