About Curious Assistant

How this started

Curious Assistant began as a handful of calculators built to solve one specific problem each — usually because a friend, a student, or a stranger online needed to know something a spreadsheet could technically answer but shouldn't have to. A GPA calculator came first. Others followed the same way: someone asked, a tool got built, and it stayed online because more people kept finding it useful.

That's also how the site got messy. Tools were added faster than they were organized, which meant duplicate pages, categories that were just anchor links, and a site structure that made sense to no one — including search engines. The rebuild you're looking at now exists to fix that, section by section, without breaking the tools people already rely on.

The goal isn't two hundred tools. It's every tool being one you can trust the number on.

How it's run

Every tool on this site runs entirely in your browser. There's no account system, no tracking of what you calculate, and nothing you type is sent to a server to produce your result. That's a deliberate constraint, not a missing feature — it's what lets a calculator stay trustworthy for something like a GPA or a loan payment.

Tools are reviewed on a schedule rather than published and forgotten, and new ones are still mostly built the original way: someone describes a specific, real need, and that becomes the next page.
