- blippageVisidata is a fast popular data tool in python https://www.visidata.org/ if you just want data entry.If I may be permitted a small plug ...Oleo is a GNU spreadsheet going back absolutely donkey years. I cloned the repo here: https://github.com/blippy/oleo and made minimalist fixes to get the thing to compile.I also based my own terminal-based spreadsheet based off of it call neoleo: https://github.com/blippy/neoleoI wouldn't say that my project is particularly good, but it does have a number of features that I find useful. The next release will include Tcl bindings, so you can customise some of the workings of the app. There's also a module available where you can go to town programmatically.It opens up a world of possibilities, including stuff like pivot tables. package require oleo load-oleo mysheet.oleo set ws [toMat] set subset [subRows $ws [mand [mstreq 2 foo] [mstreq 3 bar]] It has what I think is a nice little query language, too. In the last line I select the rows from the spreadsheet sheet column 2 is equal to foo and column 3 is equal to bar.I'm kinda dog-fooding it at the moment to put in place features that I need. It doesn't have the full equivalence of SQL-equivalent though.
- deathanatosYou might say … it's As Easy As[2] 1-2-3?[1][1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_1-2-3[2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As-Easy-AsWhat's old is new again.
- lateforworkAll spreadsheets used to run in your terminal, in the old days. You can still download one here and I wouldn't be surprised if it still works: https://winworldpc.com/product/quattro-pro/4x
- ncr100Anybody ever bound a Google sheets to a CSV and provided a TUI for that? I expect it would be slow.Two-Way synchronizing of a text file version of Google sheets is another way to think of it. Aside from that, there would also be the need to implement the spreadsheets user interface of highlighting and all that stuff, in the TUI side.
- jmacc93Semi-related: I always wished there was something like the unholy combination of a spreadsheet and notebook rolled into one. I picture it notebook-like at the top level, then each cell is a widget that the host language can reference parts of in other cells (probably with a variable (eg: something like mathematicas `Out[_]`) or a built in construct (like the `$ABC123` forms in spreadsheet formulas)). A notebook interface would also be good (I think) as a straight up terminal as well, as you (I) typically want to run commands in an order like in a notebook
- halosghostSee also, one of the older / more-robust entrants in this space [0], and one of the more innovative (still from a hot-second ago now…) [1].All the best,0. https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im1. https://www.syntax-k.de/projekte/teapot/
- andy99If I’m remembering correctly, I had bought a Borland Turbo C++ compiler circa 1994 (for DOS) that came with a demo sheets application you could build and run.Does anyone remember this, I can’t find it now.
- gigatexalVim bindings I’m in!
- jnpnjpretty cool, most of the time I don't want to spin emacs org-table nor google sheets for a quick table
- altmanaltmanYeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
