Show HN: Number Duck - a programming library to read and write Excel files

• ola 13y ago
  Very cool, could have used something like this at my last workplace where excel was the lingua franca.

  The screenshot of the excel spreadsheet with the title "Important Looking Business Document" is borderline condescending. If you're going to actually use a C++ library to generate an excel spreadsheet, it BETTER BE fucking IMPORTANT or else what is the point?

    Well I definitely wasn't going for condescending with that image, I was trying to come from more of a fun place to entice the bored business programmer looking for a solution to their excel problems. Obviously there's a lot less business programmers using C++ as opposed to Java and .NET, so I do plan to develop wrappers for those eventually. Currently tho, I am looking to be the most feature complete C++ library before I try to expand too far. I'll think more about the screenshot, thanks for the heads up.
