Another unit conversion app?
I’ve always had a challenge in understanding the meaning of data transfer rates I hear whenever I’m asking about an ISP package. What does 15Mbps even mean? I think better in terms of how many megabytes of data I can download per second, so I’ve always had to use an online converter to convert the Mbps to MB/s.

I did it, coded the python app and it works! I also went on to add distance and weight conversions.
