Just some feedback: the landing page dimensions are all out of order. There's a horizontal scrollbar under the "sneak peak" section. Never a good thing. The spacing between the heading and the hero image is far too wide.
I had three minutes, clicked tutorial and got a modal asking me to sign up. Left the page.
The concept of Python-based spreadsheets was explored by Resolver One[1], a defunct proprietary desktop app that was discontinued ~10 years ago[2]. It seems a web version of the app has been published in open-source[3] but that too has been EOL. [1] https://web.archive.org/web/20120211201410/http://www.resolv...

If the drop-off is general, how are you planning to handle AI pay-per-use credit tracking without signup?
So much stuff is released every day, I don’t want to be bothered creating an account and giving my info to everything on the internet. Give me a good demo and if I’m interested I’ll sign up.
I may be wrong, but most people that know python have already understood there's better ways to code than spreadsheets. Also, at least where I live, not even Google could undermine Excel's dominance. PS: I'm convinced I was indeed wrong after reading replies, because I didn't consider the interaction of coders with no coders, and this tool may indeed be useful. Nevertheless I maintain these cultural changes are very…
