Copying lines & answers as an image
A super quick way of sharing calculations is as an image.
Select some lines and go Edit > Copy > Copy Lines & Answers as image. This will place an image onto the clipboard that you can then paste into Messages, Mail, etc. 
System-wide Soulver services
You can actually use Soulver to evaluate text anywhere in macOS via services. Simply highlight some text anywhere, right click and choose Services > Calculate with Soulver. There are three services: one calculates and copies the result to the clipboard, one replaces the input with the result, and one appends the result.
Soulver services in TextEdit
Using the macOS keyboard shortcut system preference, you can assign a keystroke to these services, making it super quick to use Soulver outside of Soulver.
