I’m not so sure about for personal websites, but business people love their spreadsheets and dashboards. I could see people wanting an easy way to link an auto-updating dashboard to a spreadsheet. This stuff might already exist, I’m not sure. Where I work we use Microsoft, not Google.
- paravaib 10mo agoThat makes sense. I’ve noticed a similar thing — business contexts already revolve around spreadsheets and dashboards, so the desire isn’t really “a website” as much as a stable, public view that stays in sync. In those cases it feels less like publishing and more like exposing an existing source of truth in a readable way. Curious whether you’ve seen this solved cleanly in Microsoft-centric setups, or if people mostly accept heavier tooling there.
- al_borland 10mo agoI think this is something PowerBI can do. But that feels like a heavier layer of tooling. That weight might be inherent, as the data will always be different, as well as how it’s displayed. It’s possible there are common use cases for small businesses that could be well served by a more standardized tool.
