Hi everyone,

I’ve finished work on my lightweight Excel alternative.
My spreadsheet editor is called NextCell. I previously shared a 
link to an early beta version with another name.

At this point, about 90% of the work needed for practical use is 
complete.

The business logic is written in D, and the entire graphical 
interface is built using WinAPI.
I never originally intended to create an Excel alternative, 
mainly because I never really understood Excel’s logic, even 
though I constantly work with data.

What I actually wanted was a simple table editor that allows 
basic operations with tabular data and has a clear and intuitive 
interface. I hope I managed to achieve that.

Some interesting features:

Fuzzy Search

Database-like indexes

Easy control over date display formats

Reimagined formulas (prototype)

This is the first application I’ve managed to publish in the 
Windows Store.
Due to moderation and ranking rules, it needs at least 30 
installations before it starts appearing in search results.

If anyone can help by installing it, I would really appreciate it.

For everyone else, here is the direct website link:

P.S. Unfortunately, the application works properly only on 
Windows 11 for now. I didn’t have the opportunity to test it on 
Windows 10. Most likely some system fonts are missing there.

Installed!
Would be nice if there was some kind of import/export from .xlsx, 
I get sent that often and I have to open Google Sheet to make 
something out of it.
