Presenting tuisheet: A love letter to VisiCalc and Lotus 1-2-3. The motive was to code a programme inspired by VisiCalc and Lotus 1-2-3 interface, running on terminal, but fully compatible with the current universal standard of OpenXML (xlsx files for spreadsheets). Coded in Go lang; apart from my being more familiar with this programming language, it helps making a single executable, low on resources.

A comment on a lobste.rs post about the tech culture stagnating made me think. 20-15 or even 10 years ago, tech was really exciting. Sure, monopolies were bad, I was fighting them, but tech by itself was very interesting. New versions of software were expected, we were skimming through changelogs to find novelties, installing beta or alpha versions of totally unknown projects. And I had lived that excitement since the 90’s. When you think about it, today feels really bleak in comparison: Changelogs of commercial projects now all have that pseudo-humorous tone to tell you that "they improv…
