Blockpad is spreadsheet software re-imagined for engineering calculations. It enables engineers to create professional calculation deliverables in an intuitive and familiar way.
The primary interface feels like a traditional word processor, but pressing the equals sign opens up a formula like in a spreadsheet. This formula is then calculated and presented in clear math notation so that the math is readable and not hidden behind a cell. Also like a spreadsheet, these formulas update whenever numbers change.
The formulas also employ many engineering friendly features: - units intelligence - variable names - matrix math - custom functions
The documents themselves are more than just word processors, and include tools that make engineering calculations easier: - spreadsheet-style tables - actual spreadsheets - point snap drawings - solver sections
Also, the various parts of a document can all connect together using spreadsheet-style formulas and references, so that a whole document can update when the numbers change.
Because Blockpad feels like the office and calculation tools you already know, the learning curve can be pretty short. The math is just like spreadsheet math, and the functions are the same too. So it's easy to get started and creating calculation documents you're proud to share.

You can use LyX. LyX self-describes as a What You See is What You Mean editor, basically a fully graphical editor for writing LaTeX. Source: about 1 year ago
Directly typing LaTeX gets unwieldy for longer and more complicated expressions, so I write those in LyX first and then copy-and-paste the LaTeX code into Obsidian. Source: about 1 year ago
I like LyX. It's not for everyone, but damn it can be effective. Source: over 1 year ago
An upopular opinion perhaps, but I'm a huge fan of the WYSIWYM editor LyX. Source: over 1 year ago
I don't think LyX devs will notice your point here, alas. You could consider writing an email to the devs email list found on lyx.org. Source: over 1 year ago
I remember seeing an app that has a canvas, and on it you put individual 'sheets' or tables. You can reference between them as normal, drag and drop them around. The screenshots _may_ have shown math being entered too, I can't recall. Because my calculations are made up of many mini-calculations this seems a much better idea than the normal Excel style of multiple tables on one sheet, as adding a row doesn't... - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

In that space, https://blockpad.net/ is interesting also. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I work at Blockpad, and we have a lot of structural engineering customers that love it. It's sort of like Mathcad+Excel, inside of Word. Source: almost 2 years ago
For engineers Blockpad (http://blockpad.net) is making a good case for itself as an Excel replacement. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
