Comment on Ask HN: I'm looking for some new spreadsheet software what are people using?

Comments

if you don't need the .xlsx format specifically then something like grist might be something that interest you

https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core

there's a self hosted option that i tested in docker and it was fairly simple to get set up, but im mainly using the free version at the moment that is hosted by gristlabs themselves.

the thing i love about it is being able to use python to write formulas, and also being able to have multiple views on one page such as a table view and then a card view that shows information from whatever item is selected in the table view.

ive been using it for about a year now and i couldn't see myself ever going back to regular spreadsheets

whoa, I've been looking for an open source collaborative table editor (to replace google sheets) for the last two years and never came across grist!

Fantastic option. Thanks for sharing.
