Growing the Graveyard of "Better Spreadsheets"
- eternityforest 2y agoMy problem with spreadsheets is the 2D sheet aspect. I still think Excel is the shining example of malleable software, one of the only user programmable apps that is a true app, not just a crappy programming language. But I never understood the appeal of the 2D layout. I'd rather have something like VB, where you can link controls to an expression that queries a real SQLite style table, with a generic premade table editor (Like Datasette's editing stuff). But then again, I don't generally directly work with lots of data and only touch a spreadsheet or CSV monthly or so
