Sheety Turns Spreadsheets Into Binaries, For Some Reason

What happened

Sheety Turns Spreadsheets Into Binaries, For Some Reason, according to Hackaday. Well, that’s a pity because [Roberto Alsina]’s Sheety project does exactly that. Sheety compiles spreadsheet definitions into a self-contained, executable binary with zero runtime dependencies.

It presents a simple terminal application (with mouse support) in which one can browse and edit data and formulas with a simple interface. As far as formats go it can import and export Excel files, or a human-readable .yaml file.

When Sheety runs, the data and formulas defined are compiled into a self-contained executable with the formulas baked in, and that’s actually what one sees and uses. If a formula gets changed in the UI, a new and updated version is created on the fly to reflect the changes.
