FEATURE: Cost per use estimator #12

Open niamurrell opened 6 years ago

It would be useful if this site where a tool that could help when making purchasing decisions.

Example: How many times would I have to use this to get it down to £XX per use?

Ideas:

Simple calculator on home page to make a generic calculation
Sliding bar to see how many/few times you'd need to use an item to adjust the cost-per-use

Hi niamurrell

I would like to work on this feature, can you please give me a clear picture of what exactly are you looking for?

niamurrell commented 2 years ago

Hi @tusharkhatriofficial sorry for the slow reply!

At this stage I would recommend not working on this feature because

The project is running on outdated dependencies and needs to be brought up to date first
It is hosted on Heroku which is ending its free tier soon, so the live app will likely come down at the end of November.

I will be researching new hosts and hope I will be able to keep this app live but for now the future is uncertain.

If you'd still like to contribute, you're more than welcome (keeping in mind you would need to update the dependencies or work with outdated deps (not recommended!)). Let me know and I'll add some comments about this specific feature.

@niamurrell I think I have a solution for your Heroku problem! 🎉🎉

I was really frustrated because Heroku wasn't accepting any of my cards disabling me to add any custom domain. Basically, RBI banned automatic payments in India so I faced problems in hosting a Node.js app on Firebase as well as Heroku...

I just found an amazing platform today and I hosted my Node.js app for free with a custom domain

They do not require card details for their free plan 💯

Here's the website that I hosted today https://pawheroes.in/.

The Platform is https://render.com/ and docs for Node.js, Express.js app is here

Thank me later 😎
