I kept doing the mental math in the paint aisle and still walking out with the wrong number of cans, so I built a small site to do the boring part: room size, coats, rough openings, and it spits out gallons or liters. You can flip imperial/metric so I’m not doing feet-to-meters in my head like it’s 1992.

It kind of snowballed from there; there are calculators for a bunch of other home projects too (flooring, tile, concrete, mulch, etc.), plus I’m experimenting with city-based contractor pages, very early.

I’m the one who built it, so tell me if it’s broken on your phone; that’s half the use case.

From a contractors perspective does this actually deem useful?
