As for what I would find useful:
Might be helpful to have a calculator that took the path length of a belt/chain run, the C/C distance of this belt/chain run, and give you the lateral distance off the centerline where a tensioner would need to be placed to properly tension the belt/chain run. (I have no idea if I explained that well.)

Also might be nice to have something that calculates the amount and placement of counterweight and/or counter force on some sort of arm so that it is balanced.
