Think most people are missing the point. There are thousands of Excel users who can write fairly complex formulas using declarative rather than procedural approach. They currently share spreadsheets by email. The entire spreadsheet - all data and all formulas are shared. Maybe they want to share only a subset with some folks, and maybe they will start small and keep enhancing the apps.

That's what this tool looks like will accomplish. A new class of apps will be built - that have never been built before. The so called app market will expand.

This doesn't replace the current apps, or the current set of engineers developing these apps. This grows the overall market to be 10x larger than what it is now.


Yup sharing all the data is definitely a pain point, A question I once asked someone during a customer interview is what is that employee left? what happens to the data?
