Is your project JigDev? I actually had a need for something like that awhile back. I needed quick visualizations for data from my database. I used Google Sheets as a solution by calling API calls inside the cells and having a chart rendered from that data.
- d--b 6y agoYep! Glad to hear that you've experienced that problem. It usually ends up in hacky spreadsheets... Give it a shot if you face the same problem in the future :-)
- loopz 6y agoIf any hacky spreadsheet can do it, wouldn't developing with JS be harder and slower? Spreadsheets date from 70's and found their optimal form in 80's, so are much alike today. What does this tool provide beyond ie. OpenOffice? Do you use the tool for your own need, eat your own dog food?
- AznHisoka 6y agoYep, I agree. I don't even think spreadsheets are that hacky. I prefer them to using JS, or any sort of coding. The visualizations Google Sheets provide are even more cleaner/visually appealing than the ones I see in most web apps too.
- loopz 6y agoYeah, but if you add complexity, they won't scale. So it's features like that that can make a new product stand out.
