Hey HN! I'm Tal, an engineer and founder of Mellow (https://www.playmellow.com) and I'm building a spreadsheet tool that talks to your online store.<p>Let's face it, spreadsheets are great! Microsoft Excel has been around for over 35 years and continues to be a vital tool for our economy (seriously, this cannot be understated). Spreadsheets are one piece of powerful, flexible, familiar, and cheap software (Google Sheets is free!). Problem is, that when it comes to managing a business, they can quickly become hard, manual, and mundane to maintain. Honestly, you've probably heard that pitch a thousand times. On the other hand, implementing an ERP system can be costly and time-consuming, often requiring significant investment and a complete overhaul of existing processes. For small businesses, this can be especially daunting.<p>That's why I'm building Mellow, a spreadsheet tool that has lite ERP capabilities and is focused on e-commerce. Mellow understands the value of spreadsheets and has no intention of persuading you to abandon them. Instead, it's designed to make them even better by automating and streamlining many of the manual processes that businesses typically handle through spreadsheets.<p>Mellow is a simple add-on for Google Sheets that lets you sync your spreadsheet to your online store. It provides a range of powerful features like bulk two-way sync, inventory control, and multi-channel support. Mellow also has a dedicated spreadsheet interface with native support for ecommerce business management.<p>The ultimate goal is to provide businesses with a spreadsheet-ERP hybrid that's fully compatible with Microsoft Excel. No complex implementation, no steep learning curve. Just plug it in, and you're good to go.<p>Currently supporting Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay (alpha version) with more integrations are coming soon. <i>Lots</i> of work ahead, but I cannot be more excited about this.<p>I'm really happy we get to show this to you all (and scared), thank you for reading about it! Please me know your thoughts and questions in the comments.<p>Link to demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAzl4ymufWc
