Make it so if you close a calculator tab without saving, it prompts you to save
I've lost work a number of times by forgetting to hit save before closing the tab. I tend to assume that once I've saved a calculator once, any updates will get synced with your server automatically. But really it'd be nice to have this even for calculators that have never been saved before.
4 votesThanks John, great suggestion. I’m planning on redoing the instacalc website to make it more real-time, so changes are saved just as you type them.

Rounding
Round seems to round only to whole numbers. I would like to be able to round to a certain number of decimal places. For example, rounding to two places for money calculations. How about:
Places(3.7823323,2) gives 3.78 or something of that nature.
Another idea would be a "setting" that specifies output format and places.

Protect built in values pi and e
Attempting to change values of e and pi should produce error or warning.
pi = 5 should produce an error rather than "5"
e = 5
2 * e gives a confusing result to someone who doesn't know what e is.1 vote -

Add remote variables
Allow me to embed a HTTP uri.
Treat it as any normal variable.
Expect it to return something you understand.
If it doesn't make sense, just set it to undefined.This would allow for dynamic calculators! Where I could include current information based on a database. Like my current rates, or whatever.

Great suggestion. I’d like to have some shortcuts for displaying the output as fractions or decimals (// fraction) or similar.
