EtherCalc VS TIC-80

Somewhat random, but spreadsheets continued to evolve after VisiCalc (obviously).

Here is one by the inventor of VisiCalc, Dan Bricklin, on github: https://github.com/DanBricklin/socialcalc

Audrey Tang (who happens to currently serve as the Minister of Digital Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan)) created the Node.js port of SocialCalc, EtherCalc: https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc

Audrey made a fascinating write up of SocialCalc for The Architecture of Open Source Applications https://aosabook.org/en/v1/socialcalc.html

if you need office stuff ON CLOUD then no idea there are several random ones like https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc (demo on top right the website works fine and is multi-user collab) and there are libreoffice ones that work in cloud too, though using them in browser never really made sense to anything I've seen. I've never been to any office or consulted anywhere that multi-user actually helped anyone.

I think there's several possible solutions: * No-code/low-code database platforms (e.g., NocoDB) * Personal finance manager (e.g., Firefly III) * Spreadsheets (e.g., CryptPad for a full office suite or Ethercalc) * Task management systems (e.g., Vikunja)

Office solutions (e.g., spreadsheets): CryptPad and EtherCalc

ethercalc: supports editing by multiple clients simultaneously. Pretty easy to setup.

Try CryptPad or EtherCalc.

Ethercalc, although a bit dated, works ok on docker https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc

Or the more free TIC-80. I have paid for both, but never used either enough to be able to say one or the other has any significant advantages.

I wish the community moved to an open source option like TIC-80[0].

0. https://tic80.com/

Main differences are: 16:9 aspect ratio, no cpu limits and many languages to tinker with: lua, js, squirrel, wren, janet, wasm, ... and just recently - a Python support was added.

Included native builds for windows, mac, linux, html, and also TIC-80's .PNG, .TIC and .LUA formats. Try out the web version here - https://tic80.com/play?cart=3424 See the TIC-80 wiki for instructions on exporting https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/wiki

https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/ - TIC-80 website (for running .lua .png or .tic files) as well as TIC-80 documentation.

Try https://tic80.com/ instead of PICO-8, it's a free open-source alternative and still fun.

Tho personally I've come to prefer making my games in https://love2d.org and https://tic80.com
