A web-based spreadsheet, the code is under the MIT License, seems to have some (/many?) features of the commercial products.
Looks similar to every spreadsheet since Visicalc....
The problem does not arise with VNC or any other remote tech or program. I have never figured why it is and it's been there for years across different macs and different OS X versions.
Interesting, this suffers from the same issue I have with TeamViewer (and only with teamviewer; this Luckysheet is the first thing outside teamviewer I see this) on mac os x: if I scroll up in a document that has a vertical scrollbar, it will not only scroll up but also to the right. It happens on all the macs in the house, doesn't happen on Linux/Windows... Well, for Teamviewer; I did not test this one on all those…
Not so top to bottom.
It looks really nice! But... The main reason I tend to avoid Google Sheets is that they're slow. Slow to open, slow to update more complex sheets, slow if you have more of them open. In general, much worse overall experience than a desktop spreadsheet, especially if you're using Firefox. So I was really hoping for something with the snappiness of EtherCalc (which is blazing fast!), just more elegant. I realize it's d…
thanks for this! I never knew something like Ether Calc existed!
This would all be easier if this was not a Vue app, but rather HTML5 but all in all not that different from how desktop apps are made.
For me, web browser applications never reach the responsiveness and ease of use of well crafted desktop applications written in any decent systems programming language or even interpreted languages (not speaking of Javascript). Maybe I am getting old, but having the browser as a platform for programs is huge setback for many criteria that I personally value.
For example, as a free Excel alternative, I fall back to Gnumeric (http://www.gnumeric.org/) from time to time.
I still cannot wrap my head around why so many folks want to use such applications in a web browser.

These generally cost more money to develop/require ITs permission to be installed/get features slower.

Responsiveness is not the primary concern here: good enough is fine for most purposes.
This is not a replacement for a proper spreadsheet editor (I prefer LibreOffice myself); it's a tool to collaborate on tabular data with a group of people and minimal overhead.

I do agree that the snappiness of Gnumeric is wonderful, and it's easier to do on desktop, nevertheless many desktop apps are worse than web apps.
