Agreed. Already better than my stock Android calc! As to the syntax error message mentioned by Octavian, I too think it's a bit too intense or distracting. I love the real-time feedback and would definitely keep that going.
Perhaps you could do something with font color/style/weight to provide the feedback rather than printing "syntax error". For example (and I too am not a UX designer) text could be red (or italic, etc) for the added text when the input is invalid. You might track state using something like a memento pattern (think versioning) to track states. STATE 1: *4* # this is valid, update "last good state", apply "good style" STATE 2: *4* *+* # not valid, find "last good state" and apply "bad style" to difference STATE 3: *4 + 4* # back to valid, update "last good state", apply "good style" Hope that it least gives you some ideas, to kick around. Looking great! Keep it coming!!! -Sandman On Sat, Feb 23, 2013 at 5:05 PM, Octavian Damiean <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello Dalius, > > Very impressive!
