Europe does use the metric system, it's presumably the developer that doesn't (in terms of countries, just the US and sometimes the UK?). Really, supporting metric and imperial should be trivial — minutes rather than hours.

The issue I see is that you aren't going to get publicity like this twice. "We now support metric" isn't news that will show up on my radar in the same way that this announcement did; how many will bookmark this and check back later, if it doesn't work for them now?

"We Now Support Metric!" :) Haha, just added it in about 15 minutes. Currently working on getting the user's location by IP address. Thanks for the feedback.

Be aware that some people in the UK want stones and pounds, with feet and inches. But others (me) would like kg and cm. So please make it an option that I can chose, even if you try to guess what I want from my IP.
