This is pretty cool.
It reminded me of Hillview (https://github.com/vmware/hillview https://github.com/vmware/hillview), something I worked on a few years ago while interning at VMware research (a few team members in fact used to work at Microsoft Research).
Hillview is a lot less fancy at this point, but the ambition is that it scales a lot better (that is, to way more than 500K rows. In the order of trillions).

- breck 7y agoVery interesting. "a trillion-cell spreadsheet for big data". Google Sheets IIRC caps at 5M cells. The HN mod DG built something pretty awesome back in 2009 called SkySheet, perhaps if he's reading he'll let us know what the limits of SkySheet were back then?
