I don't use Excel though - Mac Numbers, OO:Spreadsheets, or gDocs. Sounds sweet though.
I think a "slick web app through a spreadsheet" is a beautiful thing for noobs like me. If "business guys" were able to mock up sites like they make Excel sheets, I think the world of programming would be better off. This is the modern version of full literacy!
Haha - why is Mac Numbers so buggy and lame?!? KeyNote is awesome, but I guess none of the UXers at Apple use spreadsheets... They don't even have freaking trendlines on the charts - for shame.
- jaxn 16y agoI had hoped that Apple would make Python or Ruby a scripting language in iWork. Then again, I thought Numbers would be a real spreadsheet (no linked sheets, no data sources, etc). I do use Google Docs quite a bit. I could see Google releasing a Python-esque DSL.
- pak 16y agoI swear I have seen the web-spreadsheet-as-website idea on here before. It was not editgrid.com, which amusingly replicates Excel all the way down to the Windows 95 scroll bars. It was actually focused on making the spreadsheets presentable as public pages with live datasources. The site for the tool was made with the tool. Does anybody know what I'm referring to?
