Instant answers: Calculator, Unit-converter, etc. #67

Open KirillOsenkov opened 6 years ago

KirillOsenkov commented 6 years ago

I maintain a website with some instant answers: http://quickinfo.io. Here's what it can do: http://quickinfo.io/?%3F (or just type demo there)

I've recently refactored out the engine that generates answers and decoupled it from the Html backend so it can provide answers for console, mobile etc.

Would you consider adding instant answers similar to the above? On a Mac pressing Cmd+Space supports math calculator, etc. You can type 2+3 and get 5 instantly. I thought it'd be a great idea for Jarvis. Let me know what your thoughts are and I'd be happy to help if needed.

@KirillOsenkov That looks really cool! Good work!

Do you provide some kind of API for it, or is there a NuGet package that Jarvis can consume? It would be really nice if Jarvis could visualize results differently like Quickinfo does as well (tables, boxes etc). Will have to look into that.

KirillOsenkov commented 6 years ago

Yup, there's an API and a NuGet package. Just published some info here: https://github.com/KirillOsenkov/QuickInfo/blob/master/README.md#api-and-architecture

Yes, you can visualize the results however you want, there's the Node data structure that you can visit to build whatever UI you like. See the HtmlRenderer as an example.

Also this is very hot off the press, so any feedback, suggestions or requests are appreciated! I'm also considering writing a Xamarin iOS app for iPhone using this.
