Show HN: A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings
Cell is a lightweight, terminal-based spreadsheet editor written in Rust that combines Excel-compatible formulas with native Vim keybindings, offering IT organizations a memory-safe alternative to legacy spreadsheet tools for power users and CLI-native workflows. As a modern, cross-platform tool with minimal dependencies and a clean architecture separating core logic from UI, it represents an emerging class of developer-friendly productivity tools that could reduce operational overhead compared to maintaining traditional spreadsheet infrastructure. For organizations with significant Vim-proficient user bases or those prioritizing CLI automation and data processing pipelines, this tool addresses a gap between traditional spreadsheets and scripting-based data workflows.
