A simple Spreadsheet
I needed a notepad equivalent for a spreadsheet, so I made mine. It had to be super fast to load, light, but still has the main features of a Spreadsheet like Excel.
I used the framework Qt. In addition of being fast and light as I wanted, Qt had a premade Spreadsheet template that saved me me a lot of time. I only had to add the features I wanted.
Features
One of the key point for this kind of software is to have good shortcuts for every feature, but also make them accessible via the menu.
I decided not to implement the formula feature the same way that most spreadsheets because it would go against the simplicity of the application. Instead, to make an equation, the user simply has to enter the "formula mode" and then click the cells he wants to use in the formula.
