Cyperchef might not exactly what you are looking for, but it is selfhosted and has some conversion functions.
That looks like a really neat util, and I can’t wait to find a docker container to spin that up.
This library looks like it could be a good starting point - https://convert.js.org/
That app was the best back in the day!
I’m not aware of a JS equivalent, but it’s something that could be written solo once you get the formulas worked out.

This is now added to my portable apps collection!
There are a number of unit conversion libraries in JavaScript. Building your own is not that hard. A simple SPA shall suffice.
mathjs doesn’t provide 1/10 of the units available in convert.exe. It is cool and I use it for other things but it simply doesn’t cut it for this.
All you need is wine-wasm (if only it existed) and youre sorted!
Yeah! Let’s build that :D Maybe it will render UIs better than native wine? :D
