The title would've been more honest if it said "Web Spreadsheet in 99 lines using AngularJS".

Indeed. https://github.com/audreyt/500lines/tree/master/spreadsheet mentions AngularJS and ES6 upfront, but in retrospect it'd be better to mention them in the title too. Thanks for the reminder!

I think the title is AOK. A very nice commentary as you work through building it, I think folk will find that very helpful. Thanks for being awesome.

Update: For folks interested in learning ReactJS, a version is available at https://github.com/audreyt/500lines/blob/master/spreadsheet/... — the demo at https://audreyt.github.io/500lines/spreadsheet/as-react-live... runs considerably faster than AngularJS, but takes 12 more lines of LiveScript.

Why? Is AngularJS spreadsheet software?

It also would have been more honest if it said "Web Spreadsheet in 99 lines using AngularJS and 11,331,980 lines of Code[1] in a modern web browser like Firefox."

And that's why lines of code is an ambiguous measurement. We could also count the code running the JS, the rendering engine, the browser, and the OS.
