I am looking for a web dev to keep pushing Nostr Spreadsheets. My demo was ok, but we need so much more and I won't be able to push this. I think a dedicated dev can make a platform to fully replace Collaborative Google Sheets for simple things (no scripting needed) and truly get us out of Google realm. Not even Proton offers spreadsheets. We desperately need a better offer.

Ooh spreadsheets
This makes it seem like someone else can view my sheet.
Yep, but it is just the pubkey of the spreadsheet itself. Each sheet has a nostr key.
Why do some many Nostr devs pretend that Google is the only thing thing that exists? Use https://cryptpad.fr or host your own.
This is so cool. I’d love to see all office suite products replaced with Nostr alternatives
How do you store the data in the nostr? How to deal with conflicting concurrent edits?
We store as a replaceable event saved every time you leave each cell, which updates everybody on the fly. There could be issues, but it mostly works.
Concurrent edits are quite rare in practice and spreadsheets tend to be small. Replaceable addressable events might work well here.
I tried app data replication with incremental change events chained eith hash pointers
Scripting would be nice too
Star Office > Open Office > Libre Office was a network office suite. In 2000 I installed it with clients accessing the system, including a calendar that could synchronize with Palm devices, and somehow that had disappeared...
I think Libre Office is a good place to find the code, but also gnumeric might be a good place, as well.
