Hey! This is my project! Amazed to see this here. I'll try to answer questions people might have
I'll take a deep dive through your repo and compare notes later this week. Congrats on the huge lift!!

Great project. I particularly love the: 1) mit license 2) using plausible instead of Google analytics. Practically speaking, uBO is going to block both by default, but for non-tech users this is great. 3) appreciate how the app respects your pc when the web app is running in the background. Very low footprint, no random CPU spikes or anything. Wish you guys the best.

I think more than one folk in HN might be interested. All traffic is because of this post. I had no visitors as of today. This was work in progress :)

What a cool project! I intend to dive in and I'm sure I'll have questions as I do. Are you active in Discord? The invite link on the bottom of ironcalc.com isn't currently valid.

Thanks for your great work! I’d love to hear your thoughts on a recent “brainstorm” a few of us had here on HN about spreadsheets. How does this resonate with you? [1][2] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42027356 [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41970554
Hi wsih, thanks! There is a lot to unpack on those threads but of the top of my head: 1. Clear separation between UX/backend Done by design in IronCalc. It is first a spreadsheet engine. 2. Multi language support, language connectivity, enhanced data types, ... You might very well be right, but out first step is to be as close to Excel as possible. We are ~ 1 year away from being formula compatible in a reasonable wa…

"backend" seemed to imply it was contacting some server, but https://github.com/ironcalc/ironcalc#early-testing claims (and the network tab confirms) it is just Rust compiled to wasm, no "backend" required MIT or Apache 2 (player's choice) if anyone else has grown deeply suspicious about any "open source" HN headlines of late
backend does not imply server to me, it implies software that does the calculating engine work and does not concern itself with display refresh.
I am genuinely looking forward for the success of this project. I am just wondering will this support scripting language like VBA for Microsoft Excel?
Thanks. I am thinking a lot about this recently. We will definitely support a scripting language, or rather several scripting languages. VBA won't be one of them, I think. I wouldn't want to create a language just for this. Maybe use a language like Lua or perhaps Rhai[0]. By design extending and embedding IronCalc should be very easy. Work in this direction will not start in the next 9 months though. [0]: https://gi…
