Changelog 02: multiplayer, Python improvements, and more

We've have been busy improving Quadratic in early 2024. This year we started with the release of Multiplayer and numerous other improvements in Quadratic.

Python improvements

Based on months of user feedback regarding our Python developer experience we shipped a ton of features, including:

• Python typing from sheet to Python and Python to sheet
• Show return types from Python to sheet in the code editor
• In-editor code snippets
• Accurate line numbers in error traces
• Python cell highlighting
• Python language server for better autocomplete, hinting, etc.

You can now collaborate on spreadsheets in real-time.

Additionally, we've added Teams, a dedicated collaborative space for your Team to work on spreadsheets.

Create your Team.
