I want to second support for this effort. I had a freelance project a few months back that had a need to generate formatted Excel documents from external API data. It also needed an easy to use GUI for it's users. At the time I desperately wanted to use Pharo (since RAD tools on personal computers have sadly become an endangered species). Instead I was forced to make an Electronic app.
In short, there is a real need for this out there and I feel like it goes understated. On Sun, Nov 11, 2018, 16:50 Sven Van Caekenberghe <s...@stfx.eu> wrote: > Hi Hans-Martin, > > This is great.
