Universal Weight Converter

Create a comprehensive weight conversion tool that seamlessly converts between different weight units including kilograms, pounds, stones, ounces, and grams. This utility app provides instant conversions with a clean interface that's perfect for cooking, fitness, travel, and everyday calculations.

What You'll Build:

An interactive weight converter with real-time conversion as users type, featuring all major weight units with precise calculations. The app will include helpful context like common weight references and the ability to save frequently used conversions.

Key User Stories:

  • As a user, I want to convert kilograms to pounds instantly so that I can understand weight measurements in different systems
  • As a user, I want to see conversions update as I type so that I can quickly compare different unit values
  • As a user, I want to convert between all major weight units including stones and ounces so that I can handle any measurement scenario
  • As a user, I want to see helpful reference examples like "approximately the weight of..." so that I can visualize the converted amounts
  • As a user, I want to copy conversion results to my clipboard so that I can use them in other applications
  • As a user, I want to access the converter on my mobile device so that I can use it while shopping or traveling

Technical Implementation:

Use vanilla JavaScript or a lightweight framework for real-time conversion calculations. Implement precise decimal handling to avoid floating-point errors. Store conversion factors in a configuration object and use event listeners for instant updates. Add local storage for user preferences and recent conversions.
