I made it as a personal productivity tool and have a slew of updates in the works =).
- tripzilch 15y agoOoh Instacalc! I really liked that app when I first heard of it (must be over a year ago?), thanks for reminding me of its existence, I'll check out how far it's come. Hope the cross-browser issues got solved, I seem to remember that was my major hurdle (I'm on Opera).
