Thanks, great suggestions, and some of them were already on my todo list.
Thanks, I'll definitely reach out!
Hi there, thanks!
Send your comments here
https://forms.gle/A8Q8WAG8zj4sLvwQ7 and put your email in there, I will definitely reach out with updates.
If you're up to it we could even meet sometimes for a coffee!
Nice, I saw this years ago!
Tables are something I want to tackle and I'd like to do them right because (as you point out) are crucial. I didn't get there yet...
I want to make it such that you can code on the left and then hide everything
and share that with non technical folks. That's why I did not use a Colab, creating something interactive with it (and I did that quite a lot in the past)
it's a bit of a PITA.
I think having to use a tool different than excel is hard because
people have been used to that type of UI for 40 years.
The problem I have is that once you go beyond a simple thing it becomes messy
and you never know what you are dealing with.
The way you present things graphically and they way you organize data
to perform computations are tangled, making hard to read IMO.
I was hesitant to call it a variable because most people that only use excel are not going to be familiar with that concept. Suggestion for other names?
Glad you like, I'll keep you posted for new updates in case you're interested.
Good idea, thanks, I'd also like to prevent edit mode on mobile so one can only see the HTML rendered part.
In Italy it's at the end, hence my interpretation
Thanks! I was always told the dollar is a prefix unit while the euro is not, but perhaps between european countries there are differences in that...
Anyway, yes the editable thing is a known problem that could be fixed by switching to a view mode rather than an edit mode. The problem right now is caused by keeping in sync the edit field and the code on the left side.
It can execute arbitrary JS in your browser using eval(), that could be why.
nice I did not know about this, thanks for sharing!
I was trying to get a sense of what people like and find useful.
Your suggestions and comments are helping to figure that out.
I am planning to add support for entire tables, like one coming from a gSheet,
and then present data from it. But not there yet, if you have suggestions, please add them to the feedback form

Thanks!
Yeah, I kind of want to integrate with gSheets so you can have a place where
you can dump the data and then operate on it.
Also need to find a nice and easy way to deal with local tables, I'll look into the extension you suggested.
The idea was to have a more linear way to express your thoughts and adding calculations. Another big problem for me was that in excel when you want to
create various plots for the same multi-variate problem you have to create a ton of copies of your data and formula.
For sharing files, it could be as simple as sharing a text file. You can also imagine a future where you create something and you only share the nice looking
html view that is still interactive.
Running locally? not a problem, I already tested packaging this into a OSX app and it was like 4MB and has the same functionalities.
Ah, yes, I just fixed that. While you edit, if the code is not valid now it will prevent from crashing the whole thing (band-aid fix).
Honestly, no. I heard of it but I never used it.
I am sure it has a lot of features that can inspire Tenno, I'll look more into it.
One of the main points here was making it more approachable, but it depends on who the audience is.
+1 this! I think writing helps you create a narrative that disambiguates the mess you can create in Excel. It also forces you to think more about what you do.
Good suggestions! Thanks
Yes, a responsive layout it's something I'll tackle in the future, but I think that in 90% of use cases people should use this on a laptop. Check it out again on a laptop if you can!
I'd have to look more into it, one thing for sure is that Tenno does not try to be something like Jupyter.
The cells execution order is sorted out for you.
Right, I did not put a lot of checks in place for such failures.
Does it keep happen if you refresh? I've never seen it TBH

Actually I did some very simple search and most results were about my local lake, so I figured that the context was different enough, we'll see.
Thanks! That's why I posted this here to see if people would resonate with this or not... I've only worked a couple of weeks on this and I had the same questions!
Can I ask what you ended up building? Is there a website for it?
Cool, didn't know that, but I can assure you it's also the name of a lake close to where I live
Right, something that's potentially difficult with Jupyter is sharing something that looks nice with non technical folks where they can easily change values and see the result change immediately without having to execute cells.
Didn't know about this! Will look into it, one nice thing here is that you do not need "ordering" like in imperative programming when you define your cells.
Is that possible too in Obsidian? Or perhaps it's not useful...
Yeah, at the moment I only have line charts but I can add other charts using ChartJS.
I also think it could be useful to share some initial prototypes with less technical folks.
