A simple calculator widget built on eww and qalculate
Ever since I moved from Windows to Linux, I have been trying to find a substitute to PowerToys Run, and while application launchers like wofi have worked perfectly for launching applications, the same can't be said about the fast and easy to use calculator.
Since I didn't find something that met my needs quite like I wanted, I built one myself.

Although not necessary, this project was made with Sway and SwayFX in mind, as such design choices have been made to prioritize it looking good on this.
After installing the necessary dependencies, download the eww folder from this repository, and place it in ~/.config.
After that, make sure the eww daemon is running, either by running eww daemon manually or by putting it as a startup executable.
After that, you should be able to simply run eww open --toggle calculator to show the widget popup whenever needed (I highly recommend binding that to a keyboard shortcut for easy access).
