Teaching & troubleshooting tips

Why can’t I mix measurement types?

Length, mass, temperature, and pressure each require different reference factors, so the calculator keeps types separate for clarity.

Can I add my own units?

The panel focuses on the most common everyday measurements. Clone the config or open-source data to extend it with niche units.
