I'd like to see this self-contained. It looks like if I want to share a mesh with someone, I need them to be familiar with developer build processes (needing npm or yarn, etc; and including having Electron installed? not sure yet, since I haven't been able to try it out and poke at it yet—my case in point, really) I'd rather be able to send anyone my-data.mesh.html, they double click it, it opens in their browser, they can modify it at will, and there's a button that's functionally equivalent to a Save button to let them overwrite the orginal file. (Like a quine on steroids. Think TiddlyWiki.) This can be done, the only problem is that you don't get the typical Ctrl+S workflow—you use the in-page button instead, and it wouldn't let you get around the "Save As" dialog, but I'm thinking it should be only a minor nuisance. If you do it right, you could even standardize your serialization so that other tools could ingest a meshfile. This is really neat, and I'm going to play with it tomorrow.

Google is <-paying 97$ per hour! Work for few hours and have longer with friends & family! On tuesday I got a great new Land Rover Range Rover from having earned $872 this last four weeks. Its the most-financialy rewarding I've had. It sounds unbelievable but you wont forgive yourself if you don’t check it... http://ow.ly/iBXm30dNtIZ http://ow.ly/iBXm30dNtIZ

Right now you could share a Mesh file as code, but yes, you'd need to have a way of consuming that code. Right now there's no way of communicating the UI interface; I had envisaged that people would download Mesh separately from the internet. Embedding Mesh and its dependencies in the file itself is really clever. The file would get a bit bloated but maybe that's OK if: (a) when the file is consumed by other code, the interface exposed is clear (b) when the file is opened as a Mesh program, all the user can see is the program shown in the spreadsheet, not Mesh's code. It is potentially more risky from a security perspective if it is not easy to verify the Mesh source embedded in the file hasn't been changed to be malicious.
