Hi everyone, I built Ordinate because I wanted something lighter for the small spreadsheets in my life, like tracking my dog's health and getting organized for tax season. Full spreadsheet apps felt excessive for these tasks, but Markdown tables couldn't do the calculations I needed. I wanted a readable text file that could still hold formulas, multiple sheets, and formatting, paired with an editor that felt good to use. Along the way, I realized the same format was useful for AI agents. They can read and edit the file directly without a spreadsheet-specific tool layer. The Mac app also includes an Assistant with ChatGPT sign-in. My hope is for Ordinate to do for spreadsheets what Markdown did for documents. I'd love to hear what you'd use it for and where the format or editor falls short.
