Lots of live data integrations. Fetch price from product uri for big shops like Amazon eBay, currency conversions, etc

Smart on-screen keyboard choices. Numbers only for numbers fields etc (Apple Numbers does this well)
re: Design notes for a mobile-native spreadsheet
100% Visual/block-based formula programming. Obvious stuff (average column, sum column) built into UI eg on on-screen keyboard shortcut keys
re: Design notes for a mobile-native spreadsheet
One column view. Swipe L-R (with generous deadzones) to switch column. Optional fixed 1 row and/or column display for headings. Free scroll U-D for cells in column.

Focus on ease of authorship of new spreadsheets, not interacting with existing/legacy ones
The iOS Google Sheets app is a prime example of “if you must, it’s possible” app design. Apple’s Numbers app is slightly better, but still requires you to scroll in two dimensions. I’ve not seen a truly-mobile friendly spreadsheet app yet.
@neil I always stumble over three-letter abbreviating “Thursday”, too. “Thu” lacks the crucial ‘s’. “Thus” is 4 characters but not the first 4.
Has anyone specced out an xkcd:// protocol yet?

@tomnardi thanks for the tip! I have had some warping on the next iteration I tried so I’ll give this a go
@znoteer thank you. Yes the RHS is iteration 2. My third iteration is having the letter be the only shape on that part (the print wasn’t good for this)
Today I got a chat notification from a chat service I didn’t even realise we had and wasn’t one of the two I’m aware of that are in the frame to replace the third I use. No obvious way to figure out a) who was tagging me, b) how to reply or even c) how to access the chat service
@AAMfP I need a trackpoint which seriously limits my options. I’ve got 6-key on existing boards, so I think I won’t mistype, but I almost never use the extra keys!
it would seem obvious to choose 6-key over reverse-T for the arrow region, except you get a weird split spacebar. Pros/cons of that?
Sadly also only double-shot on the ANSI layout. So it goes

If (IF) I were to buy a Tex Shura mech keyboard, the aluminium case would seem to be a no-brainer, but,

made the mistake of re-connecting an old firefox instance to my firefox account and POOF there goes my theme on all my other instances
@Ronflaix i tend to avoid typedefs entirely for structs unless I’m providing an API. I like to know what I’m dealing with.
