Blockpad (https://blockpad.net) is trying to reinvent the spreadsheet for engineers and anyone who cares about units.

Every time I come across Blockpad I wish I could get my company to provide it. Unfortunately it’s huge group so that won’t happen, but it does look great.

I put my hopes on Python or Julia notebooks now, but it’s not accesible enough for most colleagues.

Please stay in touch with them, I’m hopeful somehow a way can be found to move the ball down the field

I see that it supports units in terms of scale - does it also prevent units that measure different things from being combined? E.g. 2 kg + 3cm (units mismatch) or 3$ * 7$ (two monies can’t be multiplied).

Yes to my understanding it will throw an error
