Today, we are launching the Univer Go trial version, which doesn't require you to have extensive development experience, yet still allows you to have your own exclusive workspace.
Univer Go is an out-of-the-box local application that can help you or your team deploy a collaborative workspace with one click without having to worry about tedious environment settings and application deployment. If you have some JavaScript programming experience, you can also use Uniscript to customize workflows and personalize your office experience.
For example, you can customize the Gantt chart template and set the right-click menu to insert it into the spreadsheet with one click.\nYou can also write a server-side script to get data from the database and load it into a spreadsheet.\nYou can even use Univer Go to write a little snake game!\nAfter reading so much, why not try it yourself? Please visithttps://docs.univer.ai/zh-CN/guides/go . We also provide detailed videos, graphic tutorials and pre-made templates to help you quickly get started with Univer Go."},"story_title":{"fullyHighlighted":false,"matchLevel":"partial","matchedWords":["spreadsheet"],"value":"Get rid of wps&Google and deploy a private spreadsheet system"},"story_url":{"fullyHighlighted":false,"matchLevel":"partial","matchedWords":["univer"],"value":"https://go.univer.ai/en-US?from=HackerNews"}},"_tags":["comment","author_spreadsheet_uni","story_42735805"],"author":"spreadsheet_uni","comment_text":"The Univer team's mission is to enable all organizations and individuals to have a personalized office space. In the nearly one year since the release of the Univer SDK, we have helped dozens of companies customize their own efficiency tools based on online spreadsheets and documents. However, the Univer SDK requires users to have certain development experience (for example: you need to set up the development environment, deploy the server, etc.), which makes it unable to serve those users who have less contact with development.

A few things that were interesting to figure out: you can get very close to Excel with just Univer free license, the most material missing elements are charts (existing charts kept but not displaying in the view) and pivot tables.
