It doesn't currently mention this on the site, but one use case for Ethersheet is to embed it as a component in a larger application.

#13I love that it's anonymous. It would be cool if it had a read only version (using a random url) to share. Like piratepad (etherpad) has.

#14Looks pretty similar to ethercalc... https://ethercalc.org

It sure seems lighter/faster. Other differences:
* It doesn't support drag to enter ranges in formulas
* Arrow keys don't move the selection
* It doesn't have nifty pie menus for dragging a selection
* It doesn't support ctrl+z undo
Does EtherCalc have multiple worksheets? Ethersheet does.
EtherCalc's tabs-and-forms UI is clunky.

#17I love spreadsheets. So much so that I even mentioned Excel in dating profiles. But Excel is expensive, OpenOffice slow and buggy, and Google is... well, Google. Ethersheet is a fast, effective, and reliable alternative to get your spreadsheeting done. I love spreadsheets and so I love Ethersheet. If you're like me, you will, too.
This post reminds me of http://www.zombo.com/
FYI you can rent Excel, Outlook, Word, Powerpoint, OneNote, Access and publisher for three beers a month at London prices. That's pretty cheap and it works online and offline.
Agree with OpenOffice though.

The undo functionality is actually almost there, I think we just don't have an interface for it. The arrow keys thing should be easy to implement. I will add it to github, and of course accept a pull request! We definitely need to accept ranges for formulas or some up with some easy way to do that.
The project as a whole is definitely unfinished but we have been working on it for so long and lost some motivation. I wanted to just get it out there to at least re-motivate myself to work on it.

With 143 forks you can be sure at least some of them support multiple sheets :)
