Here's two more: karmaplatform.com and kdcalc.com. This whole area of converting end user produced Excel solutions to scalable systems does seem very promising.

Here's two more: karmaplatform.com and kdcalc.com. This whole area of converting end user produced Excel solutions to scalable systems does seem very promising. But no one has nailed it yet, and I suspect there are at least two reasons. 1) Over technical solutions that require a .xls to be converted into some other technical deployable eg kdcalc.com producing a .jar 2) The diversity of Excel based solutions eg spreadsheet as DB vs. spreadsheet as calc engine vs spreadsheet as reporting dashboard. So when you say "convert a spreadsheet into a web app", it means many things to many people. Which is a real expectation management challenge!

The expectations management you mention is really important, I need to think how to communicate that clearly to customers. In this case we are going to make it "cloud based" so there's no need to deploy anything. About the different kind of spreadsheet uses, the more use cases that we can found the better, also we are going to start with the more simple cases to reach a functioning product and then expand to the most complex ones.
