Show HN: Quadratic – Open-Source Spreadsheet with Python, AI (WASM and WebGL)
31 by davidkircos | 10 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, I am David Kircos. The Founder of Quadratic ( https://QuadraticHQ.com ), an open-source spreadsheet application that supports Python, SQL (coming soon), AI Prompts, and classic Formulas. Unlike other spreadsheets, Quadratic has an infinite canvas (like Figma). As a result, you can pinch and zoom to navigate large data sets, and everything renders smoothly at 60fps. Our vision is to build a place where your team can collaborate on data analysis. You can write Python, AI Prompts, and Formulas in one spreadsheet feeding each other data and updating automatically. Quadratic is built using WebGL and Rust WASM. To render a large grid of cells smoothly, we tile the spreadsheet similar to google maps. If you are interested in the technical details, check us out on GitHub ( https://ift.tt/Gz9IJcP ) You can use AI to help you write Python and then run the code directly in Quadratic. Then, we feed the result back to the AI model so it can follow along, help you debug, and modify your existing code. AI can also be used to directly generate data onto the sheet with prompts. It knows the context of what's on the sheet and how the data it's inserting fits in. Try it out. SQL is coming soon... stay tuned!
