Handling File Specs During a Side Project

While working on a small side project, I had to align some image-related specs with a third-party document.

The specs listed dimensions in millimeters. My internal notes were already in centimeters. The mismatch wasn’t a bug — just friction.

This wasn’t something I wanted to automate or normalize globally. I just needed to confirm a few values so I could move on with the task.

I handled it outside the project by doing a quick conversion in the browser, using a page like https://mmtocm.net
, then closed the tab and continued.

It never became part of the project history, which felt appropriate for such a one-off problem.
