Show HN: Tenno – Markdown and JavaScript = an Hybrid of Word and Excel

Tenno is a web app that lets you create Markdown documents that can include computational cells. You can think of it as a mix of Word and Excel, some sort of "literate programming" environment.

This is still an early version but I wanted to get some feedback from HN on what could be nice features to add.

Check out the Docs and examples page, it has a ton of (in my humble opinion) cool stuff!

Why did I build this? I was building some estimation for cloud costs in Google Sheets and I quickly ended up with a mess. I realized that if I wanted to analyze how a certain thing changes wrt to multiple variables by plotting it, I had to create a bunch of copies of data and copy my formulas everywhere... a SWE nightmare!

Tenno simplifies this because you can essentially define a function you are interested in, and only the analyzing it using plots that explore various dimensions.

BTW, you can also use Tenno to build dashboards by pulling data from APIs, checkout the weather data example.
