I made a spreadsheet on info and pricing for every mobile plan in Australia (that I could find)

codeberg.org isps

isp metadata and pricing dataset

isps

Made a spreadsheet of mobile plan data so people could compare providers and plans easily. I plan to update it either yearly or every 6 months. This was inspired by this spreadsheet on all the NBN plan pricing information: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_wnaTFb_3QsdgZfKDrEO6D_Rpzt2clbB/edit?gid=1523306688#gid=1523306688

Web readable format and link would be good!
Also why source control a non trackable binary file spreadsheet?
- I put it in a spreadsheet as it is a good way to display the information. If you know of a format which is like a spreadsheet and is web readable, please tell me. (And not "some software can display it on a website", that can be done with most formats, including opendocument spreadsheets which I used here.)
  The direct link is here: https://codeberg.org/libre-net-au/isps/raw/branch/main/mobile-plans.ods
  
  You can try a markdown formatted table!
  Works good in github readme, and here in Voyager/lemmy, not sure about codeberg.
  ChatGPT would make quick work of creating it from your data, then just copy and paste. Should render in rich text mode like this
  markdown table
  
  x y
  md
  
  |markdown|table| |--|---| |x|y|
  Not hugely Scalable but is easily readable
  
  Will work fine on Codeberg, but I can hardly use formulas in that. Those aren't really suitable for somewhat large amounts of data, which is what I have.
  
  CSV to .MD build job on merge to main?
  Dunno.
  All I know is I'm not downloading a file to open it each time for updates.
  Spreadsheet(1)(2)(3)...(99)
  
  It won't be updated that frequently, and I don't see why you would download it every update instead of occasionally when you are considering switching plans / getting a new plan
