Smart calculations with Numi

[nikolaeu]

Hey everyone!

 

Numi is calculator that allows to describe tasks the natural way and instantly get an accurate answer. For example, $20 in euro - 5% discount or today + 2 weeks.

To use workflow make sure Numi installed and running. Prefix your calculations with 'n': 'n (20% of 45)/12', 'n $20 in Euro' or 'n time in Tokyo'. Testing Alfred support ATM, so, it only available in development version (download at http://numi.io/static/dev/Numi.zip)

 

Numi workflow: http://www.packal.org/workflow/numi

 

Will appreciate for feedback!

Are you the Numi developer?

 

I see that you are the developer. It's a great little app. I emailed you with some suggestions.

 

I can't seem to get the Alfred workflow to work; I'm getting the error "Failed to connect to localhost port 15055: Connection refused."

It doesn't seem to work with the Numi that comes with SetApp.

[TheDonk]

Works fine for me after I downloaded the development version, I'm a fan of Numi already - so a nice addition

[picky]

Very very nice! Thank you!

 

feedback: pressing return (maybe with some modifier key) should copy the result to the clipboard.

Same problem for me Failed to connect to localhost

[ixium]

Quick update, failed to connect to local does not happen when the app is running, so simple fix for now is to leave the app open, hope this helps

[raguay.customct]

I get the message whether Numi is open or not. The version that you get with Setapp must work differently.

[Easytiger]

Is also not working for me despite having the app running. Otherwise looks like a great workflow. 

[nikolaeu]

Numi was updated to be more explicit about Alfred integration (checkbox in preferences). The only thing that might block workflow is firewall (which should accept incoming requests though). In any case, will be great to see any system logs associated with Numi if it's not working!

And please, ensure you are using "development" version of app: http://numi.io/static/dev/Numi.zip.

Released version through SetApp/Site is not provide any Alfred integration ATM.

I just downloaded the linked to development version and am getting the error "Failed to connect to localhost port 15055: Connection refused." as well. Numi is a great app btw! 

[passtaiker]

Also got the same connection refuse message. I confirm that the port 15055 is not open even thought the dev version Numi is running.

@boddicker @passtaiker Can you please check Numi preferences for "Enable Alfred integration" option ? Should be enabled there.

@nikolaeu I confirm that "Enable Alfred integration" option is checked, and I also add MAC firewall setting to allow all incoming connection toward Numi. Btw, my OSX version is 10.11 (EL Capitan), is that the same with your environment? Thanks.

[nikolaeu]

@passtaiker Testing in Sierra. 

Can you please try to open http://localhost:15055/?q=123 in your browser ? Also, disable/enable integration option if possible. 

Some system logs might be helpful also!

[passtaiker]

@nikolaeu It works now! After disable and then enable integration option, everything works fine now. Thanks!

[dan_djorgi]

Great workflow! I love Numi in general, thanks a lot nikolaeu!

Hey,

 

I've modified the workflow and removed the need to prefix everything with n it is much. So now you can just write in Alfred: 5$ to EURO and it would work.

 

Workflow link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/56snihnggq4s5yh/Numi.alfredworkflow?dl=0

 

If that looks good to you, please feel free to update official Numi package.

@vitalyb, this is interesting, however, please note that this break the workflow if we want to input something that doesn't starts with a number (for example: starting with sin(), cos(), ln()...). So, at least it would be preferable to keep the workflow starting with "n" or do like the builtin calculator and make the workflow works by starting with "=" ...

 

Beside that, thanks @nikolaeu for the workflow and for Numi ! Very great application!

 

=== Edit ===

 

For those interested in trying @vitalyb workflow, but with the possibility to start the workflow with "=" like the builtin calculator so queries that doesn't start with a number works. here is an update to the workflow with that modification:

[vitalyb]

Good point, @GuiB, thanks!

 

Please note that you should uncheck the "with space" in the keyword section of =. Otherwise it would ignore stuff like: =5+3

 

Another thing worth mentioning, is that when using our updated workflow, I suggest to disable the built-in calculator.

[GuiB]

@vitalyb, you're right! I added the "=" quite fast and habitually I put a space after the "=" symbol so I didn't see there was an error in this case... so thanks!

 

Here is an updated version if anyone want it: https://nofile.io/f/5G55Cwax3h8/Numi.alfredworkflow

[nikolaeu]

Awesome! Thank you @vitalyb  @GuiB for updates!

Is this supposed to work on Alfred 4?
I checked the box, it's recognized by workflow, aka if I type "n" then I'll see the numi icon... but if I start entering anything after then nothing happens 


Edit: Fixed by replacing 'Alfred 3' by 'Alfred 4' in the script

Nice one, that sorted it out for me in v4. Setapp version has Alfred integration built in now so works fine, in case anyone read the above posts from 2017.

The app Numi works but the Alfred workflow does not work.
