Tables: A new spreadsheet for OSX
Posted on Sun 6 Aug 2006 at 3:06 PM PST. Filed under Software.
A year ago I was blogging about the fact that there aren’t any truly accessible spreadsheet applications for Mac OS X. MS Office costs a bundle, and NeoOffice/OOo is slow and unoptimized. It was never designed to be an OSX app. Enter Tables. That’s how an OSX spreadsheet should look like! I will be meeting its developer tomorrow at WWDC.

Wasn’t Martin Hekkelman’s spreadsheet available already ?
I hadn’t seen it on versiontracker when looking for “Spreadsheet”.
BTW, I didn’t meet Daniel of Tables. We couldn’t find each other because the press was kept at a different floor than the developers.
Me regrets when software was avaibale on ftp sites. it was eassier to find. Nowdays if it’s not on tucows or vt it doesn’t exist. That’s pretty bad imho.
Not really. Each platform has its own MAIN site to submit software: Windows has download.com, Mac has VT, BeOS has BeBits, Linux has Freshmeat. If you really want to find a piece of software, you just look at the most popular software site for that particular platform. And VT is the one for OSX.
Thanks for pointing this app out. Somehow I missed it on Versiontracker. It opened a pretty good sized .xls file without much problem but would not open a slightly larger csv file (about 3000 records). Still, it has great potential and I’ll keep an eye on it.
Didn’t I hear that Apple was shipping a spreadsheet app as part of iWork ‘07?
