Show HN: I made a tool for creating Web Apps with spreadsheet logic

3 pointsby eddyparkinsonover 5 years ago
Background: There are many great spreadsheets. Spreadsheets for creating quotes, for tracking orders, tracking kids learning to swim. But staff would rather use a good user interface, with buttons etc, than a spreadsheet when doing work day to day.<p>Examples: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sheet.cellmaster.com.au&#x2F;examples Slow - complex app: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sheet.cellmaster.com.au&#x2F;carbonoffset&#x2F;app<p>How: It adds GUI formulas and event handling formulas to a standard spreadsheet.<p>Looking for: Early adopters and use cases.<p>Stack: Nodejs - JS&#x2F;livescript - redis https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;audreyt&#x2F;ethercalc - Built using Dan Bricklin&#x27;s (inventor of the spreadsheet) open source spreadsheet<p>Warning: It is slow with large volumes of data&#x2F;formulas. It needs work.<p>Tag line: Web apps as simple as spreadsheets<p>Feedback welcome
