AlphaSheets | San Francisco, CA | Frontend Developer (React) | Full-time (contractors welcome too) | Remote or onsite What we're building: Collaborative, programmable spreadsheets. Think Google Sheets, but like this:…
Yes, it does. Live updating already works (i.e. if A and B have a sheet open and A updates it, B sees the updates at the same time as A). And you can share links with others. These features are disabled for the demo,…
We're actually built on top of fin-hypergrid, which we chose for its speed. We're handling all the reactivity in the backend.
We're taking that as a compliment. From talking to users, a key piece of feedback we've gotten was that the experience of using AlphaSheets has to be really similar to that of using Excel.
xlwings doesn't let you write Python code straight in the cells and have it immediately Just Work. It requires you to install a plugin and write commands in a separate file to execute Python. The UX difference is key…
Yes, the computations are all done server-side, which lets us parallelize big computations. It also keeps our thorny evaluation logic crisp and maintainable, because Haskell. =)
Thanks. :)
Hey! I'm Alex, a cofounder of AlphaSheets. The three gifs on the page link to spreadsheets that you can play around with, with a majority of features already functional. Is that not fair game for Show HN? (I will admit…
