I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much the internet has changed the way we learn and solve problems.
A few years ago, if you needed to do calculations, graph equations, or test ideas, you usually had to rely on physical tools or installed software. Now, almost everything is shifting into the browser — and honestly, it’s made things a lot more accessible.
What I find interesting is how simple tools are still some of the most useful ones. Even with all the AI hype and advanced platforms, things like calculators, converters, and lightweight utilities are still used every single day by students, developers, and engineers.
I’ve been exploring this space myself and experimenting with building small, focused tools that solve one problem really well instead of trying to do everything at once. One of the projects I’ve been working on is here: https://ti-84calc.com/
It’s been interesting seeing how even basic tools can still be valuable if they’re fast, clean, and easy to use.
I’m curious what others think about this:
Do you prefer simple single-purpose tools, or all-in-one platforms that try to do everything?
Would love to hear different perspectives on this.
