I've been working on Mesaphore, an Excel-like spreadsheet app[0] backed by a Parquet-based file format. The premise is when Excel starts off as the starting point, then over time becomes a data exchange format between systems, and eventually becomes a bottleneck for the system. You still want to provide your users something Excel-like but also want to address the limits of Excel[1].

Majority of code (almost 70%) is generated by Gemini Pro and is extremely ugly. Due to a recent eye injury, I've not been able to code as much as I want, so I'm delegating many things to Gemini. Eventually, as my health improves, I plan to rewrite the entire thing.
