I use percentage calculators quite a lot. And we all know that the best one out there is one that looks exactly as it did when it launched in 2007.

So I decided to build one that looks more like 2025. A clean one.

Some extra features were also added:

- I removed the calculate button. Now it happens automatically, 0.75 seconds to be more precise. And that is because it takes me about 1s to get from the input to result and copy it.

- Result fields have built in copy functionality. Just click or tap the field and the result is in your clipboard.

- Dark mode support

- Theme display based on os theme

- A cookie to remember the theme for 1 year (the only cookie actually)

I tried to keep it clean for fast loading, so there are no libraries or google analytics. Just a small script for a CloudFlare worker that tracks how people use it.

I am currently working on a project where they refuse to use reliable tools for test case writing and I found myself stuck in the old mighty google sheets.

And when you have to write hundreds of test cases it becomes a pain. Often times I find myself frustrated at the fact that I am forced to alt+enter to add a new step or miss typos due to no spelling checks.

So I took some time and built the writecases.com. A free and private tool that helps me write test cases faster and better.

By private I mean… there is no cloud, no apis no nothing. Everything is stored in your browser. So you don’t have to go through the endless approval process for using it.

By free I mean REALY FREE! No ads, no third party cookies, actually no cookies at all!

And guess what ?! It has a CSV export button so you can then upload them in whatever crap they force you to work with.

Ah and one more thing! No accounts needed!

I just hope this solves the same problem I had for a few others.

I would be thrilled if you give it a try. Also, there is an info page there that explains more about all the functionality.
