Technology used for online spreadsheets
Does anyone know the technologies used to create online spreadsheets tools like Office365 or Quip ? JS or HTML5 or both ? I think it must be quite challenging to create advanced features like scripting support and formulas.
Wouldn't it be possible with just JS? Yes complex and not. A one person job. But with a big team and things broken down, seems very doable. Most of it is just client side computations until you save the doc. If you want to add multi user usage at same time. It gets even more complex and you will need things like CRDT etc and more backend interactions.
Indeed .
