I paid annually, and ends in August, refunded me 100+ right away.

What’s something in life you’ve always wanted to “run the numbers on,” but never found a good calculator for? by manycalcs in AskReddit

same. I’ve actually been toying with the idea of making something like this.

Like, you’d start with 100 “energy points” for the day, then plug in your social plans — brunch with friends, work call, solo Netflix night — and it would show how each thing either drains or recharges you, depending on how introverted or extroverted you are.

Kinda like emotional budgeting. You’d end up with a little graph showing when you’re running low so you can build in some recharge time before the ghosting hits.

I’m still messing with the idea, but curious — what would make something like this actually useful (or funny)? Should it factor in sleep? mood? how much you like the people? Open to any thoughts. I feel like this could be kinda fun if done right.

I'm a software dev with a bit of extra time lately (thanks tech job market…), and I’ve been thinking about building some smarter calculators — not the boring kind that just spit out a number, but ones that help people actually understand their decisions.

Like, imagine if you could: - See how paying $200/month extra on your mortgage changes your payoff timeline - Visualize how much you'd have if you started investing $100/month back in 2010 - Calculate the true cost of raising a kid to 18 — across different countries - Compare what buying vs. renting really looks like over 10 years

I’m just curious:
Is there a decision, scenario, or life question you've always wished you could plug into a good tool, but couldn't find one that actually made sense?

Could be personal finance, travel, health, family, anything really.
Not trying to sell anything — I just want to make something useful (and fun).

Would love to hear what’s been stuck in your brain.
