Sheety: Spreadsheets as Executable Binaries

Sheety is a project that compiles spreadsheet definitions into self-contained executable binaries with terminal interfaces.

The tool allows users to import and export data from Excel files or a human-readable YAML format. Once compiled, the spreadsheet data and formulas are embedded within the executable.

Users can browse and edit data and formulas through a simple terminal application that includes mouse support. Changes made in the interface result in a new, updated executable being generated on the fly.

While functional, Sheety has limitations, such as the inability to resize cell display widths. The project creator acknowledges that the need for such a tool is questionable, but it serves as an interesting and fun project.

Sheety supports the Excel format but does not implement every function available in Excel's extensive history.

The project is written in the Crystal programming language, and the source code is available on GitHub for users to explore and try.
