I think notebook environments like iPython provide greater flexibility in terms of programming. I don't think they can replace spreadsheet nor spreadsheet would develop functionality to replace notebook environments.
The missing link is a seamless experience between spreadsheet and reproducible data analysis (programming).
My team is working on https://nxsheet.com https://nxsheet.com. We look to provide this seamless experience. For example: Generate normal distribution - https://nxsheet.com/sheets/56e845da4030182e337c6c2b https://nxsheet.com/sheets/56e845da4030182e337c6c2b
Stencila looks interesting. Great work!
- nokome 11y agoHey, Stencila developer here. Thanks, nxsheet looks really nice - great work too! I agree, somehow getting spreadsheets into the workflow of reproducible data analysis is important. They are a tool that I for one had ignored (focussing instead of reproducibility of text + code) - but there are too many people that use them to ignore them!
