This sample app is a body mass index (BMI) calculator. It allows users to
select between US customary units and metric units. The result is color-coded
using an infinite number of colors through the use of a continuous formula.
Converting values from one measurement system to another using plain formulas
is tedious and error-prone. Use the CONVERT formula function instead to
perform these conversions. It supports more than one hundred different units.
The Statistics window now enables you to learn how a particular user is using
a private app. For such apps, there is a new drop-down menu with a list of all
users you have defined in the Users window.
Make apps embedded in your website look great with lots of new options. Our
new auto-height feature automatically resizes your iframes to match your apps.
A new JavaScript library enables host pages to interact with apps. Microsoft
Flow is now better supported. Finally, we announce our startup program.
Easily apply borders and shadows to embedded apps with the revamped embed tab
which appears when you share an app, with a live preview. You can also
experiment with our new auto-height feature, which adjusts the height of the
containing iframe to match the app content.
The new auto-height feature for embedded apps changes the height of the
containing iframe to match the contents displayed by the app, so you'll never
waste space on your page with an oversized iframe.
Host pages can now interact with their embedded apps through our new
JavaScript library. For instance, host pages can now get all values of an app
through the library. We expect this feature to be used by third-party services
wishing to integrate with Calcapp.
A growing number of makers are looking to build their startups on Calcapp, the
no-code tool of choice when calculations are your focus. We're now announcing
our startup program, which gives you free access to Calcapp while building
your product, provided that you're willing to share revenue with us later.
Microsoft Flow enables you to glue your apps together with thousands of
services, like Excel or Slack, in the same vein as Zapier. It needs a
so-called JSON schema to work, though, which are tedious to write. Calcapp
Creator can now generate them for you.
After a three-year beta, we've finally launched paid plans. In this post, we
take stock of our current position and discuss what lies ahead, including the
introduction of a PDF report designer, buttons that perform more complex
actions through action formulas, better support for data and more.
Calcapp enables you to create apps that might otherwise have been
created using a spreadsheet. Create apps yourself without
time-consuming and expensive custom software development.
