I love the minimalistic style.
How long did it take you to build the first version? How many people? Which tech are you using for it?

The calculator or Hexadecimal?
It took a couple of hours to build a calculator, and a couple more to polish it.
Hexadecimal took a very, very long time to build (several months). Engineering-wise, it is the hardest thing I've ever done. It was way over my head when I started.

Just me.

The calculator is a part of the static site built with HTML, CSS, and sprinkles of ES6. I generate it with nanoc.
The web app is built in vanilla Rails stack: Ruby, Rails, Postgres, Redis, Sidekiq, Caddy. I don't use front-end frameworks (yes, I'm a dinosaur). For more context: https://tryhexadecimal.com/running-costs
