It exists to provide fast and easy-to-use solutions to problems that are annoying to do in our heads or on paper. For example, is 53 a prime number? Who knows, just go to TotalCalc.

Added brute force SEO

As you can read about in my post on the Indie Hackers forum, I added millions of generated pages to the site in an attempt to rank for very long tail keywords such as "Is 35123 a prime number?". It has had decent success but not enough to bring in serious revenue yet.

Added unit conversion

This was a big step for the website and one that lead to a lot of traffic (eventually the majority). I added intuitive and easy-to-use unit converters to the site. These tools allow you to convert between almost any unit seamlessly.

Launch of TotalCalc

I am writing this in the future, but this was around the day when I first launched TotalCalc to the world. I had maybe 20-30 tools at the time, and was adding more daily. Looking back, I should've used a proper MVC framework for this project. Wrote everything from scratch and it is a bit messy to work with now.
