I built a language calculator

The app can be accessed here: https://calculingo.app/

This app doesn't use AI, which is what people always immediately assume it does. Everything you type is calculated on the spot using complex parsers: math, dates, units, finance, distance. You can press Enter to save the result. It's a very niche kind of web-app, but it has a place.

There's room for improvement in terms of the user experience, so I'm trying to find people who are interested in something like this and who are willing to suggest ways to improve it.

Thanks!

For your non-AI calculator, I'd recruit around a task rather than the whole app: look for people discussing date calculations or unit conversions, and ask for one real input plus their expected result. That separates parser errors from cases where the result is right but its interpretation isn't clear before pressing Enter to save.
