    Really great to see, that such an application finally arrives also for MorphOS!

    Thanks in advance for your effort doing this.

    Amazing! Will it accept formulas and/or macros? Will it read files like xlsx or something?

    Nice…

    Now how does one define „native “ in this case?

    I would rule out a front end for some cloud based app.

    So is it written from scratch or MUI port of some pre existing spreadsheet?

    This kind of app could be a big challenge. It looks like a very ambitious project — perfect for you, Jaca. :)
    I wish you (and us) good luck with the project. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it.

    Damn...but is Jaca a human? An android? Can he stop coding while sleep?

    Seems very cool. Thanks mate!

    The standard excel syntax is already implemented, I do have to write the code for the common functions though. All standard math ops or referencing other cells/ranges is working fine though.

    Formula parser and xlsx loaders are ports of opensource libs. Other than that it's entirely my own code based on ObjectiveC++ and Cairo/Harfbuzz.

    Oh, didn't know there's a bounty. It's way too soon to claim, anyway.

    There's still several technical hurdles to overcome before reaching something I could release as a beta. I'm currently working on document load/save and selection fill code (that's the stuff that will take rows = 1,2 and extend to 1,2,3,4,5 etc).

    Little busy with other projects right now, but it's coming along. There's some progress almost daily, at least. I'll post more real soon.

    Not much changed visually so not posting any screenshots, but the first couple of alpha builds were released to testers. CellBasics is now able to naively import XLSX files (just values and formulas for the time being) and a lot of other functionality is slowly moving forward.

    If we can have WordBasic as well it is officially set, we have our own version Microsoft Office for MorphOS!!
