This is a straightforward web app that does one thing: calculates how much tip to leave at a restaurant or cafe. You enter the bill amount, pick a tip percentage, and it tells you the tip and total. That's it, no complicated features or extra bells and whistles. The app is built with Vue, a popular framework for creating interactive websites. When you use it, the page responds instantly as you type or change numbers, so you get immediate feedback without waiting for anything to load. It's hosted online at tips.jasonlbeggs.com, so you can access it from any device with a browser. This is the kind of tool someone might build to solve their own problem, needing a quick, clean way to figure out tips without pulling out a calculator or doing math in their head. It's useful for people eating out, delivery drivers, salon workers, or anyone who regularly needs to calculate gratuity. The app's simplicity is actually a strength: there's no clutter, no ads, just the calculation you need. The project is open source, meaning anyone can look at the code, use it, or customize it for their own needs. If you wanted to adapt it, say, to add a feature for splitting bills between friends or to support different currencies, you could fork it and build on top of what's already there. For a personal project, it's a clean example of a focused tool that does one job well.
