Excel Alternatives
- breadandcrumbel 7y agoThere is a reason Excel is so popular. UX is great and it's just becomes strange to use an alternative to it I feel a bit old because I'm not open minded for alternatives to this kind of products
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoWell, the expert who wrote that text does not seem to be aware that after Oracle shenanigans OpenOffice(.org!) was forked and replaced by LibreOffice almost a decade ago
- abricot 7y agoThis is just a clickbaity top 10. And not even one of the better ones.
- BilalBudhani 7y agoI'm surprised the article doesn't mention airtable.com. I've started using Airtable for all my tabular data need.
- altmind 7y agoairtable is great, a lot of interactive features, great possibilities to add programmability to your data.
- gremlinsinc 7y agoI want to see an open source clone w/ a lot more features/modules/etc... Imagine having better security by row/columns/views/sheets and having columns being able to link and combine data from multiple databases and tables... It'd also be nice to have an 'editor' field... where you can choose html, markdown, or wysiwig (like wordpress)... so you could essentially manage blog posts from the airtable backend and control all things relating to seo, comments, tags, publishing schedules, notes about topics, etc... Basically it'd turn airtables into a fully customizable ERP for just about anything.
- pubkraal 7y agoThrough a newsletter of Panic I came in contact with coda.io. It may not be perfect, but I’ve been loving it recently for simple to medium table usage and programming.
- derision 7y agoThe only real Excel alternative is Google Sheets because of it's compatibility with Excel's API. Anything else will cause headaches. Excel is too widespread, unless you're working in a silo.
