Ask HN: What are your most common tasks and painpoints in spreadsheet software?
3 by marttilaine | 8 comments on Hacker News.
Through a hobby project I've ended up implementing a spreadsheet app with support for lots of file formats (csv, tsv, json, ndjson, sqlite). The formula engine uses JS (e.g. the formula `max($('A1:A9'))` equals to excel formula `MAX(A1:A9)`. I also have a CLI which is capable of executing those JS formulas on files without the GUI. It has been fun to code but I don't know where to take this project (if anywhere). Turning it into a polished app requires a significant time investment still. Therefore I was wondering if there's some specific painpoints in the spreadsheet world that I could fix and provide a solution to the world via this app, since I have a solid starting point with it.
