Show HN: A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings

https://github.com/garritfra/cell
13•garritfra•1h ago
While speccing out this spreadsheet tool, I realized that I never had to think about the keybindings. It all just came naturally from Vim. Normal/insert/visual modes, hjkl navigation, dd/yy/p, :w, :q. The usual muscle memory works.

It supports CSV/TSV import and export, and a native .cell format that preserves formulas. The formula engine handles SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, MAX, and IF with range references.

The codebase is a Cargo workspace: a pure cell-sheet-core library (no TUI dependency) and a cell-sheet-tui crate on top of ratatui. Early days, but it's usable.

To try it out: cargo install cell-sheet-tui

Feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated!

Cool project!

The Vim modal model feels almsot native for spreadsheets, and splitting the formula engine into a TUI-free core was prolly a great architectural choice.

How are you thinking about recalculation, dependency tracking, and undo/redo as the sheet grows, especially once multi-cell edits and larger CSVs start stressing the core?

Was initially hopeful that this would rather than have A..B..C... and 1..2..3... for columns and rows would instead have one creating categories à la Javelin/Lotus Improv/Quantrix/Flexisheet --- give me that, and have a dynamic system for displaying a pane of formulae and one would have a _very_ nice tool.
