Show HN: A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindings While speccing out this spreadsheet tool, I realized that I never had to think about the keybindings. It all just came naturally from Vim. Normal/insert/visual modes, hjkl navigation, dd/yy/p, :w, :q. The usual muscle memory works.

It supports CSV/TSV import and export, and a native .cell format that preserves formulas. The formula engine handles SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MIN, MAX, and IF with range references.

The codebase is a Cargo workspace: a pure cell-sheet-core library (no TUI dependency) and a cell-sheet-tui crate on top of ratatui. Early days, but it's usable.

To try it out: cargo install cell-sheet-tui

Feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated!

Show HN: Matrirc – run irssi in 2026, talk to people on Matrix This solves no real problem — Element works, there&#x27;s already a Matrix-to-IRC bridge running on half the FOSS networks, and probably nobody under 30 has opened irssi voluntarily this decade.<p>I wrote it anyway because I miss Esc 4 and clunky window-split commands.<p>Matrirc is a local IRC server that speaks Matrix on the back. Point irssi at localhost:6667, log in with Matrix creds, rooms show up as channels.<p>brew tap pawelb0&#x2F;tap brew install matrirc
