Easy Percentages
Have you ever clicked on an online percentage calculator, only to be greeted by an avalanche of ads, chaotic interfaces, and unnecessary complexity? So did I. It was frustrating enough to make me roll up my sleeves and do something about it—and that’s how Easy Percentages came to life.
The Frustration: A World of Clutter
Most tools I found online felt like they were designed to annoy rather than assist. Ads flashing in the corner, overly complicated layouts, and a lack of focus on what really mattered—a clean, efficient percentage calculator. It begged the question: how hard could it be to make something simple, effective, and user-friendly?
The Solution: A Fresh Perspective
Easy Percentages was built from scratch with a single focus—clarity.
- A clean, distraction-free interface ensures your calculations stay front and center.
- Accurate and versatile functionality handles everything from basic percentages to comparative and percentage change calculations.
- Accessible simplicity means anyone, anywhere can use it without a learning curve.
Behind the Scenes: Crafting Simplicity
Designing Easy Percentages was a process of balancing simplicity with robust functionality. For me, the natural choice was Nuxt.js, a framework that aligns perfectly with my love for the MEVN stack and the broader principles of JAMSTACK architecture. Built on Vue.js, Nuxt.js allowed me to create a lightweight yet powerful application that feels as smooth as it looks.
By using modern web technologies, Easy Percentages ensures calculations happen instantly, whether you’re on a desktop or a mobile device. The result is a tool that’s as seamless behind the scenes as it is for the user.
