Ask HN: What interesting things do you use spreadsheets for?
3 comments
I use them for forensic timeline analysis. Colour code certain results, and then you can sort them in various ways to tease out connections.
I don't know if it's interesting, but a while back I found that I was missing my old Casio databank watch, so I mocked one up in Excel, full color, CASIO logo included. Then I typed a whole schedule into it. That was fun, so I moved on to mocking up a pocket digital organizer (never got around to the alarm beep you coudln't figure out how to turn off...). It was more than I could chew so that sheet is still a WIP somewhere.
