This reminds me of the early web. Those DIY websites had the same playful and convivial quality.

I used to work for a company making a bet against live collaboration in spreadsheets. I now see the error in my ways. A spreadsheet party in Excel would just be a nightclub that one person can enter at a time.

Office 365 online has a pretty decent multiplayer Excel setup - it has limitations but in general it works pretty well. Great for document reviews/edits (works for Word and Powerpoint as well).

It’s been a disaster for us. Seems like Smartsheet and Google sheets shouldn’t exist, but multi-person collaboration in Office is a disaster.

Yes, 365 has definitely elevated Excel's collaboration. But in my experience, it has speed issues that can cause more problems than it solves.

Love it! Hopefully it takes off as a thing in the second half of pandemic lockdown madness.
