A better Excel sounds nice, but the problem is Excel is already on my computer and used by everyone. It's a universal format for most people in the business world. If your product is really that superior, I wish Microsoft would just buy y'all out and rewrite Excel from scratch using your product. I guess they can't do to infinite backwards capability needs as half the world prob runs off Excel spreadsheets.
- breckognize 3y agoThe reason we launched a hosted product first is to get around the chicken and egg problem you describe. You can create a workbook and just share a link with a colleague - they don't have to install anything. If you turn on link-sharing under the workbook's "Share" menu, they don't need an account either. The cloud also provides some powerful performance advantages.
