Simple "terminal-optimized" tasks. In an abstract way, got a PTY (term.js) that connects to the shell (termprops.js) to the user's display. Friendly web front-end that can run quick functions that I normally used a Python shell for, such as common conversions and quick math. We've also got full CD! * JavaScript features

Terminal Emulator app's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
