We are intrigued by the spreadsheet model of 'programming' and wanted to build upon it. Google Sheets is just one of many such implementations and we plan to have our own for real-time performance and other properties that Sheets

I'm sorry, but there are two seemingly redundant popups in our sign-up process right now. You have to auth via Google twice–once to sign up, and once to authorize Google Drive. This should be fixed this week.
