sc-im

sc-im - Spreadsheet Calculator Improvised -- An ncurses spreadsheet program for terminal

Project mention: Csvlens: Command line CSV file viewer. Like less but made for CSV | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-06

While not built around CSV, two terminal spreadsheet tools I have successfully used in the past are sc-im and the (neo)vim plugin vim-table-mode:
https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc-im/
https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode
Back then I stopped using sc-im because it could not import/export XLSX, if I remember correctly. Apparently it can today!
vim-table-mode always felt a little fragile and I don't want to be bound to vim anymore. That said, it still feels like a small miracle to me to have functional spreadsheet formulas inside markdown documents – calculation and typesetting all in one place.

Project mention: Micro – A Modern Alternative to Nano | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-17

From sailplane straight to (at least) a Cessna looks more like another level, supercharge and weight class all in one. I guess it's fair to locate 'micro' rather somewhere in the in-between, a middle ground and then there are in fact not that many contenders on the CLI, or else they're fossils. I would've thought this is what makes it attractive to some? Whereas others don't really have a use case. As for 'nano' on the other hand frankly there are about as many proper and more modern alternatives as there are Linux distributions and I'm sure anyone who's still a console regular has their favorite or two. I'm a vimmer but for quick snaps or in very strange places I *really* like dte. Am not associated with the project: https://github.com/craigbarnes/dte
