#2I've been working on Decipad. It's a low-code notebook to tell stories with numbers and build interactive models. It's like Notion with spreadsheet-like capabilities. You can build and publish interactive notebooks for things like forecasting, burn rate, a mortgage calculator, or just something fun.
We're testing with early access users. Would be grateful for any feedback if you're interested! Decipad.com

#3This is really interesting! I have been keeping an eye on the low code number modeling scene and it's great to see a mix on the usual spreadsheet + X.
I applied for early access but I wanted to ask how you balance the amount of spreadsheet and modeling you expose vs keeping it out of sight?

#5I wish Notion would allow people to build third-party plugins/add-ons. This looks really cool but it would be so much cooler if it build on top of everything Notion already does.

Is this like formulas (https://www.notion.so/help/formulas) on steroids?

#8Would like to see a demo video. Reading through the landing page doesn’t really tell me what this does, or how are using it would work.

Thanks a bunch! It's really early stages here... but we're so excited with the possibilities this tool will unlock.
It's been a big topic that we talk about a lot as a team as we continue to build. We ultimately want to give creators the control on how they want to share and present their model. And, give the reader/collaborator some controls on how they want to consume it. But, we also want to make it easier for people to understand what different calculations mean and how the model works so they can learn and collaborate more effectively. One approach we've been exploring as we build Decipad is a more human way to write calculations that are easier to read and understand.

#10Too bad the documentation isn’t online. What does it use for formulas? How do you share notebooks? Do you need the app to view them?
I’m pretty happy with Observable’s notebooks. It means you need to know JavaScript, though, and furthermore learn Observable’s quirks [1] and a plotting library.
