How is this better than ethercalc?
* It doesn't support drag to enter ranges in formulas
* Arrow keys don't move the selection
* It doesn't have nifty pie menus for dragging a selection
* It doesn't support ctrl+z undo
Does EtherCalc have multiple worksheets? Ethersheet does.
EtherCalc's tabs-and-forms UI is clunky.
The project as a whole is definitely unfinished but we have been working on it for so long and lost some motivation. I wanted to just get it out there to at least re-motivate myself to work on it.
Ethersheet allows typing ranges in formulas and that is possibly enough. Dragging to choose a range can be nice but it has to be implemented carefully. When to stop acquiring cells for the range and return focus to the formula editor? Some versions of Excel do this badly. For example, after dragging to enter a range you use arrow keys to balance parens. Excel thinks you are still selecting cells and inserts multiple ranges into your formula.
