This is amazing, but there is no way that my firm will send any excels with our data to a relatively small and unknown third-party provider who will host it on a public URL. Are you thinking about allowing users to run this on-site?

#22Then there are lots of web app builders, including Calculoid (https://www.calculoid.com), Calconic (https://www.calconic.com), uCalc Pro (https://ucalc.pro) and Calcapp (https://www.calcapp.net/lp/website-calculators/), that require more work to get from an Excel sheet to a web app, but get the job done with an end result that doesn't look like a spreadsheet. How does Publisheet improve on the competition?
(Full disclosure: I'm a co-founder of Calcapp.)

#25I'm surprised MS Office development seems to have just...stopped. Powerpoint can't import an SVG (it turns it into a low res raster image). Powerpoint can't export SVG either, if I want to use a Powerpoint diagram in a web page. I opened a JSON file in Excel expecting to see nested values and nope, it doesn't support that file format. Office isn't even available in the Windows app store. When Microsoft's going full s…

Uhm, I can import vector SVGs into Powerpoint (2019 or Office 365) just fine.
Powerpoint Office 365 insiders build, the latest possible public release.

That's false. Some features not available at 2005:
- 2007: Ribbon UI - PowerPivot / PowerQuery / PowerView - Integration with OneDrive (Office talks to server) - Office Online Server (Office Lite in web in cloud or self hosted) - Not a feature, but subscription model + value added services users get.

#29This looks sleek and well-made! However, this is a pretty crowded space. Spreadsheet Converter ( https://www.spreadsheetconverter.com ) and Spreadsheet Web ( https://www.spreadsheetweb.com ) are directly comparable and have been around for years. (Like Publisheet, Spreadsheet Converter offers an Excel add-in.) Then there are lots of web app builders, including Calculoid ( https://www.calculoid.com ), Calconic ( https…

Not at any of the companies I have worked for or consulted for in the past 5 years. At least at the Fortune 500 level. I love using new tools but Google sheets is nowhere near Excel for more complex projects.
