I value your opinion on keyboard matters! :) gave you seen the Tex Shura? Is aluminium body an essential feature? Red, or Black? :)

New blog post: 2022 in reading https://jmtd.net/log/2022_in_reading/ #fiction

@neil that’s kind, thanks! To my shame that blog draft was started in feb 2022. It was a conversation about Debian today that spurred me on to finish it!

At fosdem this weekend. Who else?

@neil not yet but thanks for the suggestion (also: that was a damn fast response to my blog post, mere seconds!)

re: Design notes for a mobile-native spreadsheet
Lots of live data integrations. Fetch price from product uri for big shops like Amazon eBay, currency conversions, etc

re: Design notes for a mobile-native spreadsheet
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.

Design notes for a mobile-native spreadsheet
Focus on ease of authorship of new spreadsheets, not interacting with existing/legacy ones

My instance seems to be having trouble again :(
