Free software is software that respects the 4 software freedoms. The 4 freedoms are
- The freedom to run the run the program
- The freedom to study the source code
- The freedom to modify the source code
- The freedom to distribute modified versions of the source code
Please note: Free software does not relate to monetary price. Free software can be sold or gratis (no cost)
Rules:
- Please keep on topic
- Follow the Lemmy.zip rules
- No memes
- No "circle jerking" or inflammatory posts
- No discussion of illegal content
Please report anything you believe to violate the rules and be sure to include rhetoric on why you think it should be removed.
If you would like to contest mod actions please DM me with your rational as to why you feel that the relivant mod action should be reversed. Remember to use rhetoric and to site any relevant sources. You will only get one chance to argue your point and continued harassment will result in a ban.
Overall this community is pretty laid back and none if the things list above normally are an issue.

Grist is good, but it lacks the ability to reference other rows in formulas, bringing me back into Excel (LibreOffice Calc in my case) once again.
I would love for someone to replicate AppSheet as an open-source project. So many of the app builders out there right now expect you to already have a firm understanding of how you’d go about building one of these apps from scratch.
I really just want a sort of Excel+ with some prebuilt UI templates and search capability, but my search will continue to another day…
