I'm interested to see where this goes, and would love it if the readme had a little bit of getting started guidance.

(I may not have time to tinker just yet, but i would intend to send some python users toward this project if there was a little guidance as mentioned above)

good luck, and i understand if you're not ready to encourage others in just yet!

kind regards lb

oooo.... fun.... I just managed to get started!

  1. I cloned it locally
  2. went to the src folder
  3. ran py .\hex-spreadsheet.py at the commandline

...a beautiful honeycomb spreadsheet appeared. I successfully edited some cells. Saved a file. Edited more cells. Loaded the earlier file... No crashing!

I wonder if formulae work yet.. a minimal example of a formula would be next "getting started" thing I want to know. ;)

Hey! Thanks for trying it out. Yes, some basic formulae work, including referencing other cells. I've added some user documentation in the most recent version (if you download the release version the help docs are included).

I will definitely get some more information into the readme about getting the project running from source as well.

pladams9 commented 4 years ago

I've updated the readme on the develop branch. Let me know if that helps.

Perfect! Worked for me!
