Very nice!
Just, I'm not sure that users who stick to Excel despite a web app do so just because of Excel's interface... sometimes it is because it is much easier to work with files than with web sites. And sometimes the way to get to the web app is the thing destroying the UX (slowly responding servers, weird login processes, etc.)
- robbiejs 5y agoAh yes I see what you mean. I used to work for a fintech startup and our sales team had a hard time finding customers for the product that we're building. These customers were impressed by the web app that we've made, but "we don't see a reason to use your products, we are used to Excel and we like Excel". So we decided to create a page in our web app that looked like Excel. I initially used Handsontable for this page. I was so disappointed with its performance and its reliability, that I decided to create DataGridXL. Anyway, that's the story and that's where the "slogan" comes from :-)
