In my web apps, I make dates text boxes that can handle inputs like “next Thursday”, “Monday at 5p”, etc by running the inputs through https://github.com/mojombo/chronic

I like the idea of inputs being able to make sense of as wide of a variety or formats as possible.

For number inputs I’d like to build into Rails something that can handle basic math expressions. For example, a person can enter “120 / 2” in an input and get 60. This is useful for expense apps where you need to expense half of something.

If folks are interested, I can open source these bits. I’d like to expand them as much as possible to handle an even wider variety of inputs.

Reminds me of the Ruby library chronic https://github.com/mojombo/chronic

It's pretty good at natural language interpretation of dates, and the basic "from today" calculations, but cool to also see here natural expressions to parse between dates.

I've been looking for a JS version. Perhaps this could be a starting point.
