kaliCalc - Soulver Clone for Mac

Code Sharing

Hey Folks,

Built a Soulver-type app as a weekend project. Wanted to open-source and see if anyone else was interested in contributing.

kaliCalc is a MenuBar StatusItem, you launch it from the Mac Menubar.

The original Soulver is a great app.

kaliCalc isn’t feature rich :wink: There’s nothing novel about it. It’s doesn’t have an amazing design, and you’re probably not going to learn a lot. The hope is that others will contribute and make it better. There are probably lots of things I could have done better from a programming perspective, but this was a weekend project, and I believe in releasing an MVP, then iterating :wink:

Originally by Chris Cormeau.
This version has been modified and updated for the new REAL Studio IDE and Frameworks by Tim Jones.
I will try to keep it updated and available on my .me homesite.

macoslib

This is the MacOSLib project for Xojo (formerly Real Studio).
It provides additional OS X specific functionality that Xojo’s own framework doesn’t offer.
It even has some cross-platform functionality in order to access Mac specific data on Windows and Linux (e.g. plist files).

Evaluator XojoScript
I believe I grabbed this from the xojo blog or xojo forum. Excellent work. Thank you!
I believe Paul Lefebvre, maybe?

Just for the fun i injected your first subtotal calc, into ChatGPT. Because i think, this is something not even a ChatBot can do wrong. :wink:

Here’s the result.


To calculate the total amount, we need to perform the necessary calculations for taxes, insurance, and mortgage.

Taxes:
1.2% of $550,500 = $6,606

Insurance:
$2,000 divided by 12 months = $166.67 per month

Mortgage:
$7,500

Total amount:
$6,606 (taxes) + $166.67 (insurance) + $7,500 (mortgage) = $14,272.67

Therefore, the total amount is $14,272.67.
