Lamina ✦ is a WinUI 3 calculator that is not only includes a Regular Calculator but also something called "Scripties". She supports Mensuration, Finance, Currency Conversion, Unit Conversions And More!, making her a Very Extendable Option.
Project Link : Chill-Astro/Lamina-Calculator
Some Details :
- Version : v11.26100.16.0 BETA & v11.26100.15.0 ( Stable )
- Target OS: Windows 11 ONLY. ( FOR MICA LOVERS )
- App Execution Aliases : lamina.exe & lmna.exe
- License : MIT
- .NET Version : .NET 10
- Has Easter Eggs? : YES ( HINT : Indian Patriotic Music in Settings Page )
- Built By a Student? YES
What's Different?
- Scripties : Interactive GUI Equivalents of Console Scripts, that allows the App to do Much More!
- Dynamo Scripties Loader ( DSL ) : A Domain-Specific Language ( DSL, hehe ) System that allows the User to make their OWN Scripties, without writing a SINGLE LINE of XAML or C#. The User writes the Script in a JSON and she Parses details from it using NCalc.
- Humane Design & UX Focus : Lamina ✦ is more than just a Calculator App. She has more customization options and extra bits of Basic QoL Features.
- An Onboarding Experience for New Users, as it's Good that you can Customize before Using the App.
More Details on Dynamo ( BETA ) :
- This is ONLY for v11.26100.16.0 BETA that needs to be Built from Source. THIS DOESN'T HAVE A RELEASE YET.
- Dynamo is a Template Page for User-Made Scripties, AND a Scripties Manager AND a JSON Parser. Basically, the Infrastructure.
- Risk of Viruses is Lower, as NCalc is NCalc and not a Compiler.
- A Simple JSON Structure is ALL YOU NEED!

WHY NO WINDOWS 10 SUPPORT??????
She did Support Windows 10 like 6 Versions Ago I think, but I removed it as tbh, it would ruin the Experience and LOOKS.
Also it's annoying to make a Fallback and Wasting the User's Time in Onboarding like "Hey there's only Acrylic Supported. Don't bother Clicking on the Backdrop Dropdown as the Other 2 Options don't work!"
