Rachel Thorn 🍉🇺🇦🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈Looking for help with a <a href="https://queer.party/tags/spreadsheet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spreadsheet</a> problem. (I’m using <a href="https://queer.party/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a>, but this is probably independent of the software.) There are 100+ students in one of my classes, so I check attendance and have them submit comments via Nextcloud Forms, each student adding to the same spreadsheet every week, so that at the end of the quarter all students comments from every class are all in the same sheet. (1/4)

Paolo Amoroso<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@freedosproject" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@freedosproject</a> ☝️ In the early 1990s I checked out the popular As-Easy-As shareware spreadsheet program for MS-DOS but didn't know much about its origins. This interview with one of the creators tells the fascinating story of As-Easy-As, its focus on science and engineering, and the software house that produced it. A story that crossed with global history.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/spreadsheet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spreadsheet</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/msdos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#msdos</a>

Johan van der KnijffNew blog post, with a brief introduction to the (possibly underrated) <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/Writerperfect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Writerperfect</a> tools.These tools are based on the very same libraries used by <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@libreoffice" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@libreoffice</a>. They can convert a wide range of legacy (mostly word processing and <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/spreadsheet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spreadsheet</a>) file formats to the modern <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/OpenDocument" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenDocument</a> and <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/EPUB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EPUB</a> formats.<a href="https://bitsgalore.org/2025/06/10/writerperfect-conversion-tools-for-legacy-file-formats" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bitsgalore.org/2025/06/10/writerperfect-conversion-tools-for-legacy-file-formats</a>

DanielMorphOS developer Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek announces his "CellBasics" program in the MorphZone. The standard Excel syntax has already been implemented, but the common functions still need to be programmed. CellBasics is an almost completely self-written program, only the formula parser and the routines for loading xlsx files would be ports of open source libraries.<a href="https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2025-05-00065-EN.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2025-05-00065-EN.html</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MorphOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MorphOS</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Excel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Excel</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/spreadsheet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spreadsheet</a>

Grey LiliyHello, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> Does anyone know a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spreadsheet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spreadsheet</a> alternative to Google Sheets that is cloud based and anyone can see with a link?Did some light searching, but no idea what's good or not.

C.Okay, I don't know if this is a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GTK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GTK</a> thing, a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gnome</a> thing, a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibreOffice</a> thing, or a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Cinnamon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cinnamon</a> thing, but I just discovered probably the most user-hostile "helpful" behaviour I've seen in a piece of <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/software" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> in a long, long time.The find-and-replace dialog in the LibreOffice <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/spreadsheet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spreadsheet</a> - I haven't checked the remainder of the apps - has the typical buttons for "Find All", "Find Previous", "Find Next", "Replace", and "Replace All".... and no obvious keyboard shortcuts for them. Nothing shown, no <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/affordances" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#affordances</a>, no typical underlined or bolded letter in each button's label text. Doing a large amount of selective search&replace (don't ask <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Etsy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Etsy</a> cough cough) is incredibly painful. There's *got* to be <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#keyboard</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/shortcuts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shortcuts</a>, right?Here's the <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evil</a>: the shortcut keys are not indicated *until you hold down the alt key*. Then it underlines the appropriate letter in each button's label, but those underlines disappear again when you release the alt key.So you can study this bloody dialog box until the cows come home and never see a hint of a keyboard shortcut, even though it has them.#$*&!^%@ Who thought this was a good idea?<a href="https://mindly.social/tags/usability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usability</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/KeyboardShortcut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KeyboardShortcut</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UI</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UX</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a>

Eugenia LThese are all the relevant, native office apps for Linux. I installed them all to test and show them here. Some of them aren't maintained anymore (e.g. a few Calligra apps, Glom etc), but most are still applicable.
