Yeah, the .NET one - VSTO, visual studio tools for office. Haven't played around much with the web one. Most things QueryStorm does wouldn't be possible in the office apps model, e.g. hosting SQLite. It's too bad because it limits QueryStorm to PC desktop only.

I've got a solution that could work if you're interested, it's a bit of a hack but I've done a proof of concept before that shows it works... Essentially you can run your own local web server as a service, and have the Office App make use of this service. You could even get the web server to start when Excel starts.
- anakic 10y agoHonestly I haven't tried Office Apps, it just seemd like it would be tricky and I didn't have time to investigate. I can see how the local web server hack might work, though. Would it work in the browser and on the Mac?
- ZenoArrow 10y ago> "Would it work in the browser" Depends on how you host the app. If it's hosted locally, then no. >"and on the Mac" Maybe. I'm nor that familiar with the Office for Mac features. I did try to search online to see whether Office for Mac supported Office Apps, but it's not the easiest thing to search for.
