as a technician in the field, I really need more conversionsrelevent to what is normally used.
in the pressure section these are some that are regularly used in refrigeration, and appear to be missing:

-Bar
-Pascal
-kiloPascal
-inches of Mercury

but please avoid cluttering up the selection area with unnecessary conversions; it is an annoyance to have to wade through 100 different unit types to find what you're looking for, especially on bb screen. (Tour)
maybe have common unit types as default, and allow customization?

on the Force section you could maybe clarify the units are bit more?

I agree that we should have more conversions...I would like to have cooking conversions as well....Cups to Gallons, Teaspoons to Tablespoons...so on and so forth.

Thanks, guys, will get these in.

Though it's worth noting I tried to include all of the cooking ones I could (cups, gallons, etc). Are there some that are missing?

Maybe it would be worth adding a conversion rule builder?

These should all be in there now (as of 0.1.20). I could make it generically editable, but they're so easy for me to add I think I'd prefer to just wait for people to ask me for stuff. So if you see any you want open a new feature request for them.
