Thanks, those are the various options I was considering. Have you used any of them successfully for a SaaS app specifically?

I'm surprised and happy to learn that non-techies don't mind Persona. Sorry for going on about it.

Congrats on the launch, David and team. Quick first impressions from trying this out now: 1. The Persona sign up surprised me a bit. I'm ok with it, but if you're aiming at non-tech folks, it might be a bit of a problem. Do you of

Brennan, thanks for sharing your use case. What kind of things would you do with the parsed info in Google spreadsheet?

Are you writing an Excel add-in to propagate and receive changes? Or making changes to OpenOffice? I'm not fixing those apps. I'm building a new one without that issue. This animation is not limited to the web app -- exists in

We're not expecting to steal any die-hard fans away from Excel. We couldn't possibly pry Excel from their cold dead hands :) From the signups so far, it appears there are plenty of people looking for an alternative, so we'll

A database with a spreadsheet front-end would be incredibly useful. We would like to try and build something like that. But it's also a hard product to market because for every vertical use case, there are better targetted tools than a

Maybe it works if both users are using the desktop version of Excel. But I am sure it doesn't work if one is using the web version and the other is using the desktop. That screenshot is from last week. If anyone can confirm it's n

No, we won't use any of Google Drive but we will have real-time collaboration. Of course, we don't want to lock-in people's data, so we'll have 2-way data flow between Google docs and other formats.
