I unironically use https://servo.org/ from time to time for light surfing like researching something on wikipedia.

It breaks on most modern websites especially SPAs of course its like super alpha but its heading in the right direction its great to have a alternative showing up in times like this.

Still have Firefox with all AI disabled for heavy usage and stuff like banking.

I might use that for an app.

I want a spreadsheet app that uses SQLite and runs with GUI on both macOS and Linux.

This feels like it would get the job done. I don’t want to use electron for the obvious reasons.

Tauri has servo support in development. https://servo.org/blog/2024/01/19/embedding-update/ i would assume support has gotten only better since this post was created.

Yeah, I love spreadsheets, I love databases.

I hate Excel. Numbers is the only spreadsheet software with a good presentation layer, but it has awful functionality. I don’t want a db table viewer/editor, I want a spreadsheet.

Why not have a non-proprietary open format (SQLite) back my spreadsheets. You could port it to any front end you want, and the format will never go away.
