I wanted to write an app like this. Here's what I think would be useful for some people to compare: more checkboxes that represent typical daily activities like "how much energy does driving to the grocery store (x miles away) use" or "how much energy does idling in my car for 30 mins use", "how much energy does riding the bus/trolly/etc use", "how much energy does keeping my place warm vs kind of chilly", and also "how much energy does a cargo ship use to cross the pacific" or "how much energy does it take to source, manufacture, package, transport, and stock a pack of bubblegum". I think that would help people realize the largest components of their footprint and also how it relates globally.

It's also slow for bulk operations like "mv somefolder/ ..." - it processes each file one at a time rather than a batch operation (I tried it out recently and this was one thing that stuck out).

I'm not sure if this first premise is right. Optimizing later on makes sense to me and isn't that expensive IMO (this can vary though)

I wanted to apply OCR to my company's invoicing since they basically did purchasing for a bunch of other large companies, but the variability in the conversion was not tolerable. Even rounding something differently could catch an accountant's eye, let alone detecting a "8" as a "0" or worse.
