I was excited by the Luckysheet plug-in, but to be honest I found it to be a disappointment. Yes, you can create a table, do some calculations, but when you push the button to embed it in the Logseq page, it turns out to be a regular markdown table.

Looks interesting. Is your plug-in available? Or perhaps a proto version?

What is the name of the Obsidian plugin you mentioned?
Edit: I found it’s probalby Dataloom - but how do you go about calculations there?
Better than Excel/Notion: Synthesis lab - Natural-language programming
I really hope there is renewed interest in implementing this in native Logseq now that Logseq-DB is underway. The ability to calculate things and update values automatically like excel would be a game changer to have in Logseq. Opens up a lot of possibilities for the app that did not make as much sense to have before the database version, particularly in automating entries that involve calculations.

Maybe the DB structure can help with doing that?
Synthesis already utilizes the structure of Logseq’s internal database (just like queries, plugins and others do). The expected DB version will come with a better structure, enabling more things. But the database is merely the backend. It still takes a powerful frontend to make good use of it. Synthesis empowers the frontend.
Good to know. Are the use of Synthesis a proposal of you or what the devs are using to develop the frontend?
- The frontend has been developed by Logseq’s devs in Clojurescript.
- Synthesis is a user-made custom extension in Javascript.
