Hey Folks!

I've decided to archive this repository because I won't have time to really look after it anymore.
I started Simplexcel back in 2013 because I needed to reliably create Excel sheets from an ASP.net server application, and the available options ranged from awful to terrible to somewhat useable.

Simplexcel never did much, but I tried to make sure that what it did, it actually did properly, and without any managed code, and nearly 10 years later, it still works very well.

But I also no longer have a need to create Excel sheets at work, and I have other real-life obligations that take up my time, so I'm putting an end to this branch of development.

Since it's compliant with netstandard2.0 and 100% .NET code, it'll probably keep working with future .NET versions for a long, long time - even on ARM platforms, and even on the ancient .NET Framework that too many are unfortunately still stuck maintaining.

As the whole project is MIT Licensed, I encourage anyone who wishes to continue this project to fork it under their own name and publish Nuget packages under a new lineage, and evolve it in whatever way suits your specific needs.

Regards,
Michael

I've added @0xced to be a package owner of the Nuget package, as Cédric graciously agreed to continue the project, and has made several PRs before.

Thank you!
