[EXCEL] I'm Building a Modern UI for Excel's Built-in VBIDE. Looking for Beta Testers.

Looking to see if anyone in the VBA community would interested in beta testing or collaborating on this project. Demo of early development testing above. This is the native VBA (ALT+F11) editor with XLIDE installed.

The end goal is to have a modern, sleek and performant GUI over the native VBIDE engine, so everything you write and compile still work on every other stock Excel app 100% flawlessly without breaking anything, and also gives you all the benefits of an IDE developed in 2026.

This is a sister project to my VS Code XLIDE project, and I may also work on integration between the two down the road, to bridge the two development environments.

Support for other 365 apps (word, power point, access) are also under consideration.

As always, 100% MIT open source, forever. All my VBA work is a love letter to the VBA community.
