along the lines of the d&d spreadsheet, I've developed an entire app for running scrabble tournaments as an elaborate google sheets script. it's a couple of thousand lines of javascript for the logic, but the user interface is entirely a bunch of spreadsheet tabs.

I'm currently rewriting it as a standalone web app just to break the dependence on google, and have a more customisable user experience, but it's really hard to beat the spreadsheet UX, where settings are all done using editable tables and the output shows up in another table.
