Xleak – Terminal Excel viewer with interactive TUI and search

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi HN! I just released xleak, a terminal-based Excel viewer written in Rust. I was inspired by working with spreadsheets and word documents on the command line and wanted something faster than opening Excel/LibreOffice. It supports .xlsx, .xls, .xlsm, .xlsb, and .ods files. Key features: - Interactive TUI with full keyboard navigation (vim-style search with / and n/N) - View Excel formulas in cells - Copy cells/rows to clipboard - Export to CSV, JSON, or text - Lazy loading for large files (1000+ rows) - Jump to any cell (e.g., "A100", "500", or "10,5") Built with the calamine crate for fast Excel parsing and ratatui for the TUI. Installation: cargo install xleak, or Homebrew, Nix, or pre-built binaries. Would love feedback on features or use cases I'm missing! GitHub: https://github.com/bgreenwell/xleak

  A terminal spreadsheet editor with Vim keybindingsApr 2026 · github.com · ▲126

  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…

  I've built a C# IDE, Runtime, and AppStore inside Excel2023 · querystorm.com · ▲670

  The project is called QueryStorm. It uses Roslyn to offer C# (and VB.NET) support in Excel, as an alternative to VBA. I've posted about it before, but a lot has changed since then so figured I'd share an update. The current version includes a host of new features, namely a C# debugger, support for NuGet packages, and the ability to publish Excel extensions to an "AppStore" (which is essentially a NuGet repository). The AppStore can be used by anyone with the (free) runtime component. Another great addition is the community license, which is a free license for individuals and small companies…

  Doxx – Terminal .docx viewer inspired by Glow2025 · github.com · ▲261

  I got tired of open file.docx → wait 8 seconds → close Word just to read a document, so I built a terminal-native Word viewer! What it does: * View `.docx` files directly in your terminal with (mostly) proper formatting * Tables actually look like tables (with Unicode borders!) * Nested lists work correctly with indentation * Full-text search with highlighting * Copy content straight to clipboard with `c` * Export to markdown/CSV/JSON Why I made this: Working on servers over SSH, I constantly hit Word docs I needed to check quickly. The existing solutions I'm aware of either strip…

  DSS, a lightweight TUI spreadsheet editor and dashboard in GoApr 2026 · github.com · ▲7

  Hi there, I tried to build a CLI tool to edit and visualize Excel/CSV files directly in the terminal, I called it "dss". I did it for fun to tweak spreadsheet formulas without leaving my terminal or opening heavy GUI apps. It is an interactive editor of sheets with charts and formula engine diretly in TUI. The formula engine is handmaded but I'd like to improve it. I copied a lot from my previous Datacmd project and from Termdash repo. Hoping to receive some feedback.
