Hey friends! How's it going?

I'm doing great, and I'm here to talk about the latest open-source product by Team XenoX 🔥. Yep, it's that time again! This is my 10th product this year, and I'm equally excited as I was on the release of the first one!

Anyway, let me tell you about it quickly.

## What is Caligator

Caligator is a simple but powerful app that lets you calculate anything and do easy unit conversions for measurements like length 📏, weight ⚖️, currency 💵, and more. Sounds like it's been done before, right? Well, there's a little twist to this. We've made Caligator powerful like an alligator. 🐊 Caligator thinks the way you do, so it can interpret what you're trying to calculate and give you the desired result as you're typing! 🤓

Check out what Caligator is capable of in action.

So I hope this gives you a good idea of what you can do with this app. It can calculate a number of things, but the best part is that you don't have to write everything in perfect equations. Caligator is a smart cookie! We've tried to build it keeping in mind how people think. And that's exactly how Caligator tries to interpret and solve your queries.

So if you type something like "1/3 of 100", it will give you the correct answer.
