# excel-messenger

A silly local group messaging app where the server and all clients are excel workbooks.

Note: this was just a joke, not a real app, see the [original blog post](http://tristancalderbank.com/2016/09/06/excel-messenger-a-terrible-experiment-in-vba/) that started this.

Features:

- Only works on a local network

- Clients all reference server sheet to get the master chat list

- Server references nicknames and messages from client worksheets, adding them to the master chat list and shifting everything up

- All sheets are autosaving constantly

- Messages can take over 40 seconds to be received

New user interface:
