That’s awesome! Where can we subscribe for any announcement? ;)

To me, a critical one is easy plots. Checking how an arbitrary column changes as a function of an arbitrary other column by adding a scatter plot in less than 5 seconds is fantastic.

Formulae are also very useful. Adding numerical derivatives or integrals by just putting a formula in a new column is very useful as well. The point is not to have publication-quality, highly accurate numbers, but just quick and dirty operations to see if it warrants further investigation.

I am happy to discuss my use cases if you are interested (it might be going a bit out of topic for this thread).

For right now I've started a Git repo but not uploaded any code until I decide on an architecture.

I'll see what cross-platform plotting libraries I can include. Thank you for the idea, I agree it is important. Yes, I am very interested in your use cases! My Gmail username is the same as my HN username.
