    For those in school:

    https://www.desmos.com/scientific - badass scientific calculator. Desmos has a mobile app as well.

    https://www.madeintext.com/subscript-generator/ - Helpful for typing out shit like: Na₂HPO₄ + H⁺ → NaH₂PO₄ + Na⁺

    Also Windows Key + Period will open up a menu with a shit on of emojis and special characters, for things like that → arrow.

    ^note that it’s got tabs on both the top and bottom of the menu

      Man, this made me remember that the win+period -window used to have a search bar in it. Loved it. Then suddenly I guess Microsoft thought that it was too convenient because it vanished.

        It simply uses the text field you use it in as the search bar, you can just start typing and get results.

        It still -kind of- does, it’s just not super intuitive anymore. Open the menu, select the tab, then just start typing your search. The text you type will appear in the text field you were typing in before opening the win+. menu, but as you type it’ll filter the emojis and symbols down to the ones that match your input, and then replace your input when you click one.

        Really should just have a search bar. -_-
