CleanSheets

A spreadsheet-like application for the Internet Computer, written in Motoko.

Foundation and first steps

• Simple expression language based on ideas from existing functional and dataflow languages.
• Expressive value language where each "sheet" or "cell" may have internal structures, nesting and cross-linking.
• Dependency graph and incremental recomputation, based on a proven, formal theory (Adapton project).
  • Emulate simple spreadsheet features (Excel, GoogleSheets, etc.).
  • Emulate simple lab notebook features (e.g., a Jupyter lab notebook).
  • Distributed dependency graphs that span multiple Internet Computer canisters (novel feature).

Future scope

• See also: personal information management.
• Emulate other personal information management ideas in the Cloud today:
  • e.g., https://roamresearch.com/
• Emulate uses of Cloud-based "end-user programming":
  • e.g., https://airtable.com/
• Replace (make obsolete) uses of Cloud-based "full-stack programming":
  • e.g., https://glitch.com/
