I always wanted this - a terminal-based spreadsheet (I don't use much fonts and pictures in spreadsheets anyway). Glad to know it's finally here! I hope it's going to get ported to Mac and Windows as well.
- Borg3 3y agoYeah, cool idea. Same here, im very heavy terminal user, and simple spreadsheet in terminal sounds like a cool idea.
- SpaceNoodled 3y agoThere's already sc: https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/sc/ https://www.unix.com/man-page/linux/1/sc/
- baruchel 3y agoOn the very same website, you also have a review of various terminal linux spreadsheet programs: https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/spreadsheet.html https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/spreadsheet.html
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoEmacs has had a spreadsheet mode (SimpleEmacsSpreadsheet) for a really long time. I've never used it, but it might be worth checking out. But also, Org-Mode in Emacs (which itself is a bottomless pit of awesome I have never explored) also has a way of using org-mode table cells like a spreadsheet using the Emacs 'Calc' stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15aDIvb5LJs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15aDIvb5LJs That looks really powerful. And of course, can run in either terminal or in window like all of emacs.
- TimTheTinker 3y ago> Emacs has had a spreadsheet mode If course it has. :-)
- bitwize 3y agoIf the GNU project had a marketing team, they should adopt the slogan "Emacs: There's a mode for that." I'd also recommend "Guile goes with everything" for another GNU product.
- bsder 3y agoI'd amend that to: "Emacs: There's 3 modes for that. And they're all broken--differently."
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoHonestly I am enjoying the Emacs 29 experience and package management improvements in emacs generally. Way less brittle. Stuff is just working.
