Spreadsheets, but for people who use CSV and Ctrl+C 😍

Check out the demo, this is pretty amazing!

Given the first spreadsheet I ever used was VisiCalc and I once dove into the guts of an example terminal-based spreadsheet while teaching myself Turbo Pascal to create one intended for electronic calculations – this seems a bit underwhelming.

But certainly not stupid.

similar, my first consulting job was training staff at a power plant to use Microsoft Multiplan on the Burroughs B22... sort of a Visicalc-wannabe product.

For Linux, we got real 1-2-3 a few years ago, at https://github.com/taviso/123elf

Cool! Lotus 123 was really pretty awesome – because it had powerful macros. And I learned an important lesson about software development from it.

The lesson? A successful software product design is one people can use in ways you never expected or planned for.

How I learned? I downloaded a 123 spreadsheet from a BBS which was a very playable RPG game.
