It was eye-wateringly expensive and required a high-end system, though. It was good, and I liked it too, but it's not the same as being usable from pretty much anywhere for $0.
I was using Apple Notes for some “math thinking” the other week. A killer feature for me would be an easy way to input various math Unicode characters (I was just copy and pasting them).
Pretty cool. It looks like it also uses local storage - so if you navigate away and come back (or just refresh the page) all of your expressions are still there. A lot of paid productivity apps that I use don't even manage that.
We had this in the early 1990's, it was called Mathematica [0]

Not just running right there and re-rendering in the browser you didn't.
We got alone fine for decades without browsers.

Great tool. Reminds me of Instacalc, which has bee around forever.

This is pretty cool, I have a long running hobby project to make something similar in the terminal. https://github.com/ShaneMarusczak/rm-repl

There are various stylus-based tools which do that sort of thing:

(I used to use the math input palette w/ a Wacom ArtZ on my NeXT Cube for transcribing math documents in college)

Pretty cool but handling large numbers is pretty limited: chokes on 171! Or 5^5^5.
If your in the Apple ecosystem, Soulver is a similar app to this that is really great.
I still like it better than the math built into notes for anything beyond basics.
$39?! I'll stick with qalc!
Cool project. I wonder what benefits it has over using good old Desmos Calculator.
It would be cool if it could be part of a text notebook. E.g. extended Mathjax syntax in Markdown that allows plot() or derive()
I've been using notepadcalculator.com for years and it's been great
