Bug reports, corrections and suggestions for tools that should exist are all welcome.

How to get in touch

ToolMaple is a personal project. There is no support desk and no contact form, just an inbox that one person actually reads. Write to the address below and it will get a reply.

Response time

This is maintained in spare time, not as a job, so expect a reply usually within a few days. Busy stretches can make that longer. If a tool is producing a wrong answer, put the word urgent in the subject line and it moves to the front of the queue.

What to include in a bug report

A report with these five things can usually be fixed the same day. One that says only “the calculator is wrong” cannot.

  • The page: the full address, for example /en/tools/bmi.
  • What you entered: the exact values or text, since most bugs only show up on one particular input.
  • What you got and what you expected: both numbers, and where the expected one comes from.
  • Your browser and device: Chrome on Android, Safari on an iPhone, and so on. Rendering bugs are often specific to one of them.
  • A screenshot: optional, but it settles layout and character rendering questions instantly.

Messages that are welcome

  • A result that disagrees with an authoritative source, with a link to that source
  • A character that renders as a box, or a platform that started stripping one
  • Display problems: a button you cannot tap, a layout that breaks on a phone
  • A tool you wish existed, described with the situation you would use it in
  • Wording, grammar and terminology mistakes in the English pages
  • Accessibility feedback

What I cannot help with

  • Professional advice on medical, legal or financial matters. Please speak to someone qualified in that field, as the disclaimer explains.
  • Running a calculation for your individual case. Use the tool, and its answer is the answer.
  • Link exchanges, guest posts, paid placements and traffic swaps.
