    This slipped a day because I want to make sure I'm handling all the edge cases with locales properly. Sorry about that.

    Everything's from scratch, we've been working on this for a long time :)

    That's fair, we don't support the functions tied to custom DLL loading xD To be more precise, we support the entire "modern" function library in excel, that can be implemented with…

    Yep, if you run into issues let me know :)

    - Today, you'd likely have the LLM write a script against the CLI, that you'd run whenever you want to refresh (assuming the query is fixed, given your example) - Nobie will contin…

    - We'll be putting out more content showing off Nobie. Too many screenshots felt distracting for the launch page. - There's no GUI for it at the moment, but you can programmaticall…

    You're right, we'll update the script to help facilitate uninstall. You just need to delete `~/.nobie` and: - Delete `/usr/local/bin/nobie` - If you're on mac, you also need to del…

    I'm one of those developers :) I linked in this thread, and Matt replied above in this thread, but we charge companies making >$100M in revenue for using Nobie to provide a service…

    We've gone through a bunch of iterations. One of those iterations was canvas, but we care a lot about the user experience, and found getting the frame times we wanted on huge workb…

    I'm not sure I follow, but the math in Nobie ties with the math in Excel. When you use codex / claude in our built-in terminal, the agents get very high signal context about the wo…

    Yes, you can print an xlsx to PDF as excel would if you printed the same file (respecting whatever print layout has been done in excel). It'll be vectorized, so you have infinite r…

    Yeah, we're not providing subsidized AI to people. It costs us nothing to give people a great, computer-use friendly, native spreadsheet app

    We're saying we don't take your data. If you choose to use codex or claude, and send your data to them yourself, that's your choice. You don't need to use AI. We're fine if you jus…

    We were tired of the Mac being a second class experience for working with spreadsheets (we're gonna be shipping this for all platforms soon though). We're going to keep making this…

    I hope you try Nobie out. We've put a lot of effort into making sure its a great experience. We're a native app, so you should expect a reasonable app size, 120fps, fast (correct) …

    Yep :) We fully support the formula language, and workbook semantics. The main deficiency we have right now is not letting people create / edit pivot tables. We support what-if sce…

    - We had a bet internally about how long it'd take for someone to complain about default number styles, we'll get this in by tomorrow - CSV import can be done today either by using…

    Some features I think are pretty cool: - We can render pixel perfect PNGs and PDFs (native vectorized PDFs) - You can pass an xlsx, inputs, and output cells, and get a JSON API fro…

    CLI works on linux too. Windows CLI will be out this week. The GUI already runs on linux, but we didn't want to muddy the launch page today. It will likely be out this week.

    I'm one of the engineers on the team. We're really excited to be putting this out into the world. There's a massive amount of functionality in this thing that we're hoping will mak…
