Unit converter for distances, masses, volumes and energies with minimal UI.\n\n**Supports:**\n\n- Lenght: meter, kilometer, centimeter, inch, mile\n- Mass: gram, kilogram, pound\n- Volume: liter, milliliter, gallon\n- Energy: joule, calorie, kilowatt hour\n\nSee the full list of supported canonical units and aliases in [universal-unit-converter/config.py](universal-unit-converter/config.py).\n\n**Features:**\n- Minimal vaporwave themed GUI using HoloViz Panel (https://panel.holoviz.org/).\n- Updated to text-based input using language parsing.\n- Support for many units sourced from NIST SI guidelines.\n- WebApp thoroughly tested in many browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi)\n\n**Python Dependencies:**\n\n- `panel`\n\n**Launch App:**\n- Use the following command in the terminal to launch a local instance of the app in your browser:\n\n```bash\npanel serve app.py\n```\n\n---\n## Changes\n\n**Version: 4.0**\n\n**What's New (universal-unit-converter vs. older length-unit-converter versions):**\n\n- **New module layout:** the core app and parser live under `universal-unit-converter/` (e.g. `app.py`, `config.py`, `parser_core.py`, `parser_helpers.py`, `widgets.py`, `layout/dashboard.py`).\n- **Natural-language parsing:** free-text, text-based input parsing replaced simple dropdown-only conversions.\n- **Centralized unit definitions:** all canonical units and aliases are defined in `universal-unit-converter/config.py` for easier maintenance and extension.\n- **Broader unit coverage:** additional units (volume, energy, mass) and many aliases added — see `config.py` for the full list.\n- **Cleaner asset \u0026 component separation:** UI assets and reusable components moved into `assets/` and `components/` respectively.\n- **Testing and debug helpers:** a `test_and_debug/` tree with focused tests and debug scripts was added.\n- **Legacy preserved:** previous notebooks and simple GUI scripts remain in `old/` and `scripts/` for reference and compatibility.\n\n---\n## Screenshot\n\n| v. 4.0 : Minimal Vaporwave themed Web UI                                                                                                                                    |\n| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| ![Screenshot.png\\|429](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuranez/length-unit-converter/refs/heads/main/screenshots/screenshot_version_4.png) |\n\n\n---\n\n## Version History\n\n| **Early Panel WebApp (v. 3.0 - v.3.2)**\u003cbr\u003e                                                                                         | **Vaporvawe Notebook (v. 2.0)**                                                                                                                                    | **Basic GUI (v. 1.0 - v. 1.4)**                                                                       |\n| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| v. 3.2 [↗](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuranez/length-unit-converter/refs/heads/main/screenshots/screenshot_version_3-2.png)              | v. 2.0 [↗](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kuranez/length-unit-converter/refs/heads/main/screenshots/screenshot_version_2.png)) | v. 1.4 [↗](https://github.com/kuranez/Length-Unit-Converter/tree/unit-converter-basic)                |\n| - Widgets: `panel`\u003cbr\u003e- Language: English\u003cbr\u003e- Vaporwave theme\u003cbr\u003e- Improved Layout\u003cbr\u003e- Working WebApp! | - Widgets: `ipywidgets`\u003cbr\u003e- Language: English\u003cbr\u003e-  Cleaned up user interface\u003cbr\u003e- Vaporwave themed\u003cbr\u003e- !
