I realize that this took a huge amount of time, so asking for an open source version of this might be asking a bit much. But, I would absolutely be willing to pay for a SaaS product, or a licensing fee for the code. It's absolutely beautiful, and as someone who does this in a gross spreadsheet, moving to something like this would be unbelievable.

+1 for being will to pay for a SaaS version of this.

Would love to know how the animations were designed and implemented--they really add the extra wow factor.

Judging from the screenshot, I believe it's made by BodyMetrix:

Considering most people are casual observers 3 comments about paying for this is a positive signal. vpj should just throw up a landing page asking for money and start building. :)

It's always impressive to see an individual with a really good eye for design and the technical chops to bring it to life alone.

Building a site as beautiful as this must have left you inundated with job offers. It's really awesome!
