Widgets: svUnits

svUnits: Unit conversions

svUnits is a unit conversion tool, supported by a database of both standard and historical measures. Here it is:

Add svUnits to your website!

You must be logged in to add a widget to your account.

I am working on a plan to allow users to add the svUnits widget to their own websites. I will be asking for a $5 donation, but there are many benefits over competing "free" tools:
  • No spying! I'm not saying everyone spies, but as a webmaster I have a hard time figuring out who to trust when it comes to add-ons. You never know what weird things they might be doing in the background. I'm not interested in gathering user data. I'm not in that market. I will count hits, so you know if people are using the tool, and that's all.
  • Configurability. With a user account on my website, I will provide tools to let you choose the widgets you want and configure them to fit your site better.
  • Pure javascript. The whole widget is a single Javascript file, configured by PHP on demand. Very easy to install. Just cut & paste a little piece of code.

How to Use It

Choose a category first. Categories include area, mass, acceleration ... quite a variety. A few items like speed and velocity mean the same thing, but both are included to help users find what they're looking for, whichever name they're thinking of. A caveat for physics pros: mass and weight are synonymous here, to make it easier on casual users. Just assume "weight" means "mass equivalent at one gravity."
