Minicell

Minicell is a rich spreadsheet enrivonment with first-class support for new values inside cells. This includes, but is not limited to

• simple shapes and diagrams along with some geometrical transformations,
• values that flow in time,
• networks and graphs, along with some formulas.

This makes it easy for end-user programmers to perform basic media manipulation tasks or find optimum answers to graph modeling problems including solving optimization problems such as shortest path problem or maximum flow.
