I got a good chuckle from the screenshot showing off Draft View “for distraction-free editing”.

This is such an important project that I think I will setup a recurring monthly donation.

I mostly use Calc and I’ve held back donating because honestly it is not that good (irrational, I know). Specially if you’re an excel power-ish user.

But lately it has been satisfying all my personal spreadsheet needs. Even though it has major pain points. I’ve tried every other spreadsheet app in Linux and honestly they all suck.

I guess our best bet is to rally behind this project and hope it gets as good as Linux so that it really competes with office.

Kudos to the team and really excited to try the pivot tables calculated formulas. Pivot table feature parity is what I am missing the most!

I've always tried to like Libreoffice but I'm leaning more towards Only Office these days. Libreoffice just feels stuck in the past and their recent feuds with other office suites is drama I just don't want anything to do with.
