Resurrected 40-year-old Spreadsheet Technology
It's April 1st, 2023. Just about 43 and a half years since the release of VisiCalc.
Originally released October 17th 1979. VisiCalc was a core part of the product offering of Apple ][. Steve Jobs said it's the reason people bought the Apple ][.
It's Yours, Free
I built VisiCalc inside a Google Sheet and you can get it (FOR FREE) here: BetterSheets.co/visicalc
See it in action on YouTube
Also, Apps Script Pulse covered it: https://pulse.appsscript.info/p/2023/04/visicalc-returns-tribute-to-visicalc-inside-google-sheets-made-with-apps-script/
Everyone can copy the template and use it as they wish. Maybe you like the vintage vibes. or you want to learn how to put something like this together.
If you're a Better Sheets member you get access to the Launch walk through, and a Design Walkthrough.
Coming soon, a Technical Walk through. On how I used onEdit() and had to figure out a way to get some other things to happen when a user changed the sheet. You'll see an "error" when you try to add a column or a row. And you'll see the active cell change colors.
That's cool right?
