I'm actually missing working OLE (Object Linking and Embedding). I used to like it in MS Works in the 90ies: I could insert an area from a Works spreadsheet into a Works document and have it auto-update (you could choose if it should link the data or copy it.)
- ilaksh 6y agoRight it was very powerful. We can do something similar with frames or other embedding strategies on the web.
- pjmlp 6y agoI works perfectly fine today in Windows applications like Office.
- tibbydudeza 6y agoSadly nobody has figured out something like OLE for the web - cut and paste is a hit and miss affair.
- zozbot234 6y agoThe XML-based surface syntax for HTML5 can seamlessly embed data from arbitrary XML namespaces. It's just a matter of supporting this feature in the browser.
- topkai22 6y agoWithin the context of the Microsoft-verse, Fluid Framework (https://fluidframework.com https://fluidframework.com) is supposed to be solving similar problems in web apps, although I haven't personally played with it.
- realaether 6y agoGoogle Docs does this.
