I did some searching in this space as I wanted a proper unit aware calculator for my phone. I ended up finding Frink and rink; but Frink's android app is atrocious, and Rink doesn't have one. I hope something like hissab can leverage Frink's unit list with a better interface.

I'd like to see an effort to add common constants. My standard test for an app like this is getting the diameter of earth in light seconds; which wasn't possible because Hissab doesn't have Earth's diameter.

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I will look at Frink and Rink and try to implement missing features in Hissab. I will also add lot more constants in the future. Currently it only supports pi and e.
