I wrote something like that many years ago using OpenOffice format which is basically XML, and then I translated to PHP. (http://jeffrey.io/wall-of-shame.html KaPowie)

If I didn't have so many different ideas, then I'd love to return to it.

Ultimately, I'm realizing if I want to storm this market, I need to create a successful revenue engine to explore the space. How I would do it now is provide two hacks:

(1) special format for tagging regions within the spreadsheet as either tables, objects, or values with static types.

(2) a wizard to walk through the transpilation to provide guidance and look into oddities in the sheet.

The purpose of (1) is to automate the tagging process in (2), and the key is to turn the process into a predictable game so you can move back and forth easily. Now, if you transpile from Excel/OpenSheet to Adama, you not only have source control but a reactive database with full history and auditability.
