CalcStep – Furious Acid Interactive Trainer

A modular chemistry trainer to balance equations, compute molar masses and design solutions. Each layer builds on the last: Balance → Table → Target → Prep → Protocol. beta

Layered flow

Edit inputs in each layer and watch all calculations update. When ready, deploy by copying this file into your GitHub Pages repo (FuriousAcid.com/calcstep).
