as someone responsible for a small nonprofit that runs on google sheets, this product is super exciting. a suggestion: key to us adopting this would be the migration story. I’d love if that was clearly presented on the website.
I've used Rows before & can't recommend it enough, their support is also top tier.
The real power of this product is as a replacement of BI/Visualization tools. Imagine being able to connect Rows to a database and create "governed" sheets that look/work like dashboards with charts, tables, filters, etc. It would be a killer product because most users are familiar with spreadsheets already. Many users end-up copying data from dashboards into spreadsheets (gsheet, excel, etc) so why not skipping the…
First of all, Rows is a fantastic tool. They are really onto something, especially in how to work get structured data out of other systems into a spreadsheet and then work with that kind of data in the "spreadsheet way" that we've all been trained in. This is a pain point of current spreadsheets and one that Rows is addressing in a really nice way.
If you think about all the things that spreadsheets are used for - which is a lot - it still generally falls into one of three categories (https://medium.grid.is/the-3-types-of-spreadsheets-3d021356c...): 1. Numbers and calculations 2. Small databases 3. Business processes
What Rows does falls mostly into the realm of small databases and business processes. And while each has their own approach, I'd say that most other "next-gen spreadsheets" are also focusing on these (big and important) use-cases. Airtable (https://airtable.com/), Spreadsheet.com (https://spreadsheet.com/) and Smartsheet (https://smartsheet.com/) all play mainly in this area.
GRID is focusing on the numbers and calculations use-case, allowing people that have already built a model or pulled together numerical data in a spreadsheet to better explore, explain and converse about them.

I wish people would just show their product in their webpage instead of selling/telling what is can supposedly do
Scroll down to the “See what GRID can do” section.

With respect, if your BI tools look like excel, you need a better BI tool
I imagine the overlap will only increase. I take it as confirmation that these are good ideas to pursue.

Founder here - what browser & OS is it ?
