Widgets

[A1Liu]

Similar to Robin's system, allow for widget cells which maybe have custom UI using iframe

Also maybe allow the widgets to be developed in the same sheet as theyre being displayed

Wanna stay functional-ish in the spirit of sheets, so for widgets the "return value" of a widget should be a two-way websocket interface or similar. When the return value changes we do the same chaining execution that a spreadsheet would do, but the idea is that the channel won't change frequently.

There's additional questions about reactivity when in lua or etc, we can deal with that later I guess.

Widget Ideas

• Budget app
  • Categorize transactions using tf-idf weighted words, sum words' weights on each transaction to try to guess the primary category
  • Simple spend analyzer
  • Import from CSV

For websocket output, you can create a "websocket" cell and have some cells which communicate over it using essentially pubsub.
