The Brief

What was the goal?

Engineers won't spend more than 5-10 seconds on a converter mid-workflow. Existing online converters are ad-laden, slow to load, and precision-broken.

The Approach

Which methodology pillars I applied

I applied the Technical pillar (PWA, edge cache, INP) and AEO pillar (H1 + direct answer for engineer queries like "X kPa to MPa"). Entity signals via Schema.org Conversion + UnitDefinition (linked to Wikidata Q-IDs).

Tech Stack

What it's built with

  • Next.js 15
  • TypeScript
  • Service Workers (PWA)
  • Web Workers
  • Schema.org UnitDefinition

The Build

Key decisions and tradeoffs

PWA + offline-first: the converter runs without internet. Service Worker caches all calculation logic — critical for engineer scenarios (field work, in-flight).

Web Worker computation: 12-decimal precision math doesn't block main thread. First render < 800ms p75.

Every unit linked to a Wikidata Q-ID (e.g., kilopascal → Q44395). UnitDefinition schema ties entity signals into Knowledge Graph — we surface in the definition card on "kPa" queries.

Steps Applied

Methodology in practice

1

PWA + offline Service Worker

All calculation logic in SW cache; field engineers use it offline.

2

Web Worker precision math

12-decimal math in worker; UI keeps < 800ms p75 first paint.

3

Wikidata UnitDefinition entity

Every unit linked to a Wikidata Q-ID; Knowledge Graph entity signals.

Honest Reflection

What I'd Do Differently

Version one had a separate page for each of 24 unit families — 180+ programmatic pages total. But UX fragmented: an engineer searching "kPa to MPa" had to click again to switch from kPa to MPa. Version two ships a single SPA + separate SEO pages (programmatic stays). On the next utility, I'll question the "SEO page count = UX page count" assumption.
