#22Jeremy Howard has been using spreadsheets to teach NNs for years. Instructive and intuitive.
Author here. Yes, Jeremy Howard and fast.ai was one of the inspirations for this! I'd actually be curious what he thinks of the project if he ever sees it.
He thinks it's really amazingly cool! :D
I'm so happy to hear that I had some part to play in inspiring such a marvellous project.

Re: Spreadsheets are all you need
#30Brilliant idea/URL. It’s often true though. So many things I think “I could make an app for that” I wind up just using a spreadsheet for. At least it helps me explore the use cases more deeply for when I’d want to actually take it to the next level. I hung out with a friend while they solved Advent of Code challenges in Excel, that was a trip to watch.
