Hello Humans/Huwomans of HN I am posting this work in progress as it is very embryonic. Please be gentle and kind. or don't. This will be my only comment on this thread so at least it shall look like I haven't cared about your snark even if I may in fact have done, hurrah. It is a spreadsheet web component with JavaScript scripting. Yes, you can bork the whole document; (cell: =document.write('hi'), bork complete). My future aims are to: - add copy and paste of arbitrary cell selections - add non-contiguous cell selections ( not just your grand-father's/-mother's rectangles, etc ) - 'translate' formulas during such copy/paste ops - support $row$column locking against such translation (a la Excel et al) - run all JS cell scripting in a Web Worker (to isolate it...from the DOM, at least) - support mobile/touch properly in every way perfectly (aaaah the serenity) Currently expect it to: - be limited - break on mobile - suck at what you want it to do That is all. Enjoy.
