Mesh Spreadsheet
Hi! Didn't expect this.<p>Mesh is still very much an alpha. Since the last public commit I have been experimenting with:<p>- different text representations of the sheet (to make diffs as readable as possible)<p>- ways to compress more functionality into the 'boilerplate' included with each sheet.<p>On the to-do list are:<p>- persistence (including fixing "save sheet as URL" and local load/save)<p>- selecting input cells with a keyboard while editing a formula<p>- a way to include 'standard' spreadsheet formulas such as 'SUM' on-demand in the sheet file<p>- case-insensitive cell references<p>- much more polish...<p>JavaScript's lack of a built-in parser is a real bummer, and it means that while Mesh's backend logic can be written <i>as</i> a spreadsheet, <i>in</i> Mesh [1], the file has to include a third-party JS parser, which significantly slows down the editing process. I'd also like a proper SQL and first-class table support, but we work with what is supported by Internet Explorer 11.<p>I remain confident that we can substantially improve the status quo of spreadsheets and, by extension, programming.<p>[1] <a href="https://twitter.com/MeshSpreadsheet/status/1019555310363504640?s=20" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/MeshSpreadsheet/status/10195553103635046...</a>
