Python’s pandas. Or Apache Arrow (more data structure, but with some calc capabilities). Granted, they’re not spreadsheets per se. Rather, they’re dataframe-centric programming.
Not really what I mean. Spreadsheet implements a generic formula evaluation engine that triggers updates on value changes efficiently.

Navigating using the keyboard, drag/drop for reordering rows/columns (in a way that wasn't painful), conditional formatting on ranges of cells. At the end of the day, we actually didn't want or need the rigid structure we thought we did .... or at least it wasn't worth giving up the polish of Sheets.
Tks for elaborating! I’m the founder of Rows it’s not clear to me if that comparison is with Rows or another product Rows is built to be as flexible as any other spreadsheet - You can add whatever you want in a cell, literals, formulas, we even support json as a primitive type. - we got the same formulas vlookup sum sumifs filter query, plus hundreds new ones like get, put, post, schedule, expand - we got conditional…
My feedback isn't specific to Rows. The dealbreaker for us was post-evaluation. On paper, the alternative option looked preferable but it wasn't until we started using it that the friction became problematic.
The only suggestion I have is to closely watch standard interactions that users coming from a traditional spreadsheet have.
Rows looks great and I hope my post didn't come off wrong. The issues I had may (or may not) be applicable to Rows. I appreciate your willingness to listen.

#531GB of spreadsheet storage would be enough for a grand total of 4 spreadsheets for a lot of use cases of some teams at my company.
1Gb per spreadsheet.
We increased this limit recently. It's 1 Gb per spreadsheet table. You can check the limits here https://rows.com/docs/platform-limits#tables

$110k USD. We won’t do subway ads.. not in the next years at least. https://rows.com/blog/post/why-and-how-we-rebranded
I usually try to refrain from posting negative comments, but start of that product video was a bit annoying to watch. Are you trying to showcase your product or to make an animation fitting a cool song you just found? (Maybe it is intentional, it made me post this comment after all :).
AFAIK the purpose is to excite the target users (marketing managers, operations, business managers) to the potential. We have done other videos with other stories.
Your point is that we should be more intentional in the story? slower? How would you approach a video about a spreadsheet?

#56You guys are completely hosed I’m afraid, tomorrow I’m unveiling my competing project ‘columns 3.0’. We would have beat you to market but we’re big fans of late materialization.

#57If I'm not wrong and they didn't rebuild it, it is written in Flutter.
We stopped that project last year due to resources (financial) reasons.

#58I'm sorry but you have to improve on the very first example that you are using to showcase your stuff. What is a graph supposed to tell me where the X axis goes from pages per session to avg time per page? Why are there continuous lines connecting quantities that somehow seem to change units?! Unconvincing.
