I'm currently working on https://LightSheets.app - it's going to be a high performance spreadsheet application. Today I managed to successfully import a 5 GB CSV file with ~50 million rows of data (around 10x more than Excel or Sheets can manage). Next steps will be a serialization format for spreadsheets this size, not sure exactly how this will work yet.

What kind of limits do you find you hit regarding the number of collaborators?

Any way to subscribe to your development? I'd be willing/interested to beta test things.

Any chance of actually doing something about the response to microsoft's query about using python as a macro language?

@redskyforge twitter handle.

The landing page is so "clean" it doesn't even include it as link. And I was quick scanning for links to click.

Ah, I should fix that, thanks for pointing it out! :)
Sure, mail me at davedx@gmail.com and I’ll keep you updated.

Which response was that? :)

Love how fast your site loaded on my mobile phone. Props man.
2.39 KB landing page? A blurb above the fold not only addressing the purpose of this product but also the context that it's addressing? A digestible list of features and improvements over alternatives?

An exemplar to aspire to, for sure. Bravo!

Really kind of you, thanks. Now my challenge is to make an app that lives up to the landing page - some of the things are definitely challenging!
Thank you!
