As per usual for the last two years I'm working on an open source spreadsheet engine called IronCalc. It is super exciting. We have a proof of concept at
In the last couple of months my partner and myself quit our jobs to work on that. I am pretty sure that in a year from now the world is going to have a fairly competent spreadsheet alternative.
My capacity is fairly limited but I am trying to build a community around it. Join us!
How is ironcalc different from other spreadsheets?
From Excel/Google sheets because ot is MIT/Apache 2.
From libre office because it is web first and also an engine first
It's written in Rust and has bindings to different languages. It's extremely light and fast
The world runs on spreadsheets! How do you plan on sustaining the business?
I regrettably don't have a good plan for that. We have a grant from the European Union that will pay our salaries for another year or so.
