The iPad Storage Calculator is a web application designed to help users estimate the storage space they will need for their new iPad based on the apps they plan to install. The app allows users to select from a list of popular applications, input custom app names, and receive an estimate of the total storage required, including system storage. To use the app, users can start by selecting from a predefined list of popular apps, which includes various categories such as social media, entertainment, productivity, and games. Users can also add custom apps by typing the app name into a search field, which will estimate the app's size based on its category. The app provides a visual representation of the estimated storage usage and recommends an appropriate iPad storage option based on the user's selections. The application is built using TypeScript and React, leveraging the Tailwind CSS framework for styling. It features a responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes, ensuring a user-friendly experience across devices. Key features include the ability to toggle the inclusion of system storage in the calculations, a progress bar indicating estimated storage usage, and a recommendation for the minimum iPad storage needed based on the selected apps. The app also incorporates state management to handle user selections and updates in real-time, providing immediate feedback on storage estimates. Overall, the iPad Storage Calculator serves as a practical tool for prospective iPad buyers to make informed decisions about their storage needs.
