Messing around with AI - TUI spreadsheet (AI Slop)

Little bit of history, I worked for a grinding wheel manufacturer in the early 80s, through to around 1996-7, my first computer ran C/CPM and I had dBase II and Supercalc (3? I think).

I came across this https://github.com/maaslalani/sheets on reddit and thought it was cool, I wondered if I could do better, so I had a go, started during a very boring and one-sided Rugby League match on Sunday and finished earlier today.

I used codex with ChatGPT5.4:

Influenced by Supercalc, added some more modern features, CUA keystrokes, cell colouring, and mouse/touchpad support.

Probably never get used, but I had fun (and frustration). It needs a better name, I thought;

  • slopss
  • barm - barm is beer slop used to leaven bread, here in the North of England (historically, don’t think it is used much anymore!)

enjoy..
