    Too bad about 8h of downtime in the middle of it trending, but yeah, can't complain too much about it:)

    Would love to! There's a library called Math.NET that I wanted to look into, but never got around to it (plus, I forgot 99% of the math I learned in college so wouldn't know how to…

    Yeah:) Of course it happens while I'm asleep. Serves me right for loading the post with so many gifs... Back online now.

    Oh man, limit happened while I was asleep. Thanks for the stopgap measure. Just got the bandwith limit removed with my hosting provider.

    Hope you give it a go. I'd love to know how you get on with it if you do!

    Would love to know how you get on with it. If you'd care to share, please to let me know.

    Thanks for trying it and replying back here. It looks like I was using a pre-release version of QueryStorm while I was writing the blog post. I just released that version so if you…

    I use Wix for the installer. Can't remember how I dealt with that particular issue, but ping me at antonio [at] querystorm.com in a day or two, if you're interested, and I'll have …

    I like that a gifs shows so much in very little space, but I take your point about it being distracting. Regular mp4 videos you can play/pause explicitly might be a better option f…

    Unfortunately, no. Excel for Mac doesn't support either of the two technologies QueryStorm uses to talk to Excel (namely VSTO and ExcelDNA). Might be possible to build something th…

    Thanks! Wouldn't mind that outcome one bit. It's hard to get exposure and adoption for a platform like this without some serious muscle backing it. I suspect Microsoft has its sigh…

    It's something to consider, for sure. Perhaps there's an easy win to be had there.

    You mean add the workbook itself into the folder as binary file to include in source control? I haven't, but it might make sense, to keep the workbook in sync with the source code.…

    I was considering "for" but I wanted to imply that the IDE is actually located inside Excel, rather than being a separate program.

    Comment #34519851

    Yep, that's the idea. You create a project that defines some custom functions, ribbon commands, context menus, shortcuts etc... and then publish it to a store. Then anyone who has …

    Yeah, I just checked and it fails on some gifs for me as well (but works on others for some reason). I'll leave it as is for now, best not fiddle with it while this post is trendin…

    Comment #34519067

    I would love to but I'm a bit scared to fiddle with the post now while it's trending. I think it's mentioned in a few places on the website, but not in this blog post. I do also us…

    Yeah, you can import the folder back into the project and it will replace all of the existing files with the ones from the folder.

    Yeah, didn't get around to populating those yet. One-man show, so things slip by... ComponentSource is currently the only reseller: https://www.componentsource.com/product/querysto…

    No idea, haven't seen this until now. Hopefully they provide a mechanism for allowing legitimate addins to get around it. Perhaps using a code signing cert (which I do) or an EV ce…

    Thanks! You can version control the code you write with QueryStorm, to an extent. There are basically two kinds of apps you can build with this: extension apps (where you build gen…

    Comment #34517951

    A bit of both. On the Windows side I can use VSTO or ExcelDNA to integrate with Excel, but neither is available on the Mac. One alternative I'd like to try is a web-based version w…

    I have to do my own marketing, so I'm trying to blog more often these days. Really glad to hear you enjoyed the writing!
