It actually is. You could try it (lynx) and see for yourself. It considerably reduces distractions.
Replying from lynx; this is awesome. What kind of mods do people put on this?
I use Lynx as a "distraction free mode" when I'm learning a new language from a good web resource. I'll split the terminal (terminator) vertically in two, then split the right part horizontally. Left: web page. Right upper: playground (REPL or edit & compile). Right lower: Markdown notes in vim.
I like your humour, I like the joke about the mansion, I like how you casually assume that choosing the project over Anna was obvious as you move on. Nice article! You should do an interview with IndieHackers!
I like the way you list things you like. Never heard of IndieHackers, but I'd love to be interview by them if they'll have me. I'll check em out. Cheers for the tip and the kind words.
They used to be a lot more focused on interviews, but then Stripe bought them and they somewhat shifted focus a little, but the interviews are still there.
It would be helpful to have a link to pricing accessible on the front page of the site. Not seeing this on mobile at least. Businesses aren't afraid to spend $100/yr or $10/month for a useful tool. It cost more to have a meeting than to impulse buy. Not seeing pricing info on the site is kind of a turn off. Maybe that's just me?

I hopped on to my PC to actually try the plugin. It's because the buy button and the rest of the top menu are removed when screen width gets small enough.
My usual approach when I reach the limit of my excel skills (and patience) is to save as csv, write a Python script to do the job, import back in excel for the graphs. This looks like it could nicely streamline the process, granted I learn a bit of C# (any excuse to pick up a new language I guess). Looking forward to try the tool the next time I battle a budget forecasting file. And kudos for the well-written and fun…
If you're already exporting to CSV, why bring it back in for the graphing? There are plenty of decent python graphing libraries. Or if you hated all of those, you could always just use R, which will make basically any graph you could ever need (...and do the data analysis for you too).
Because excel files are the lingua Franca of the corporate world. Much easier to share an excel file with the numbers formatted to HR/finance/management expectations and a few graphs (which they can modify to their liking if necessary), than a word file with embedded graphics and tables (which they can’t change so they’ll ask you to redo the graphs in puce or whatever). Or god forbid a jupyter notebook... FWIW I worked once with a network graphing tool for a fairly involved HR topic (mapping out all possible career paths within an engineering department) and I spent half my time learning the tool, and the other half exporting images and importing them in PowerPoint.
Hey I am so glad this is working. I talked with you via reddit when you first started working on the project. It looks like it has grown dramatically over the years. Well done!
Hey, I remember, same username and all!:) Thanks for saying hi, man!:)
No problem. I think you did a great job persisting with your project!
FYI, Google Sheets has limited SQL support via their =QUERY() function: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/3093343?hl=en This has come in handy for me recently, but it's painful to try and edit even a simple SQL query in the cell edit field. However, it's super convenient to have this capability built into the spreadsheet. Marketing idea for QueryStorm: guides that apply your tool for specific data analysis/workf…
This is exactly how I ended up at Digital Ocean (and some other paid services). Very effective!
