Hi, I am David Kircos. The Founder of Quadratic ( https://QuadraticHQ.com ), an open-source spreadsheet application for engineers that supports Python, SQL (coming soon), and classic Formulas. Unlike other spreadsheets, Quadratic has an infinite canvas (like Figma). As a result, you can pinch and zoom to navigate large data sets, and everything renders smoothly at 60fps.

This is not open source(!). Edit: There's no obvious mention of open source on their website or docs (presumably because that would be legally unwise), so it's false advertising on HN for likes. Relevant GitHub issue: https://github.com/quadratichq/quadratic/issues/824

Quadratic's source code is openly available on Github, we will amend our language to "open access" going forward. We are far more open than any other spreadsheet, and pride ourselves on that!

It depends on the license and pricing.

I'd love to consider bringing to my org, but not if I don't have a true path. I won't even evaluate it unless I have a clear path to use.

The term you are looking for is “source available”. Using “open” is deceptive.

Your source code is not “openly available” simply because you have published it.

Interesting; any pointers to the difference would be welcome, TIA

linked in the github issue: "Quadratic's source code is available publicly in this repo. However, we do not provide any license to use, modify, or distribute our code." so you can look at it but dont have permission to use it
