Good concept and ergonomic interface

Nice! mad nitpick, I feel like the Euro display filter is weird, as it renders "12.25€" whereas I'd expect a Euro value to be displayed "€12.25". I've never seen it with the euro…

Literate programming idea is appealing
From 2 comments
Very cool. I've always thought there's a lot of untapped potential in literate programming [0]. There are lots of reports and documents that should be this instead of static Word…
FredPret on HNIt's interesting that the literal programming mentioned in the description and in the comments is old, but it basically suggests making a text primarily intended for computers…

Mobile layout is unusable in portrait
From 2 comments
I'd love to give it a try but in mobile it's unusable in portrait (default) phone orientation. It would be great if it switched to top-bottom instead of left-right layout under…

Lacks good table support for spreadsheet-style data
From 2 comments
I love the idea of finding new and better interfaces for spreadsheets, and I applaud this effort! That being said, if you want this to be useful for people in general, not just…
crazygringo on HNVery nice. There is no support for table cell expressions though, without which marking it as Excel is wrong. There is VS Code extension I use now:…

Custom DSL is counter-intuitive compared with real code
From 2 comments
Can't work out if I like this or not. There's something cool here, but I find the custom DSL very counter-intuitive. I'd much rather just type actual TypeScript or even Python…
bluelightning2k on HNSorry, but Excel is so great and the most loved software in the world because every user intuitively understands that the cells can be edited "right where they are". The markdown…

Better table support and Google Sheets integration

crazygringo on HNThis is a great concept. I'd love for this to be a part of a notetaking solution that I can run locally. Curious what your long term plans are. I am also curious if it supports…

Local storage and running offline

Vet cool! I've always wanted something like this in my note taking (currently use obsidian), but it being a "webapp" is kinda a deal breaker. I want something that runs and…

From 3 comments
How did it compare with https://observablehq.com/ ?
vb-8448 on HNAh, like a reduced version of Org-Mode.

Org mode
From 2 comments
Sounds similar to emacs org mode where you have markup and tables can have Elisp formulas in them.
jnordwick on HNI've done this with org-mode. Most recently to tally miniature golf scores for me and my wife.
