Excited to see this. I built quite a few data-rich projects / dashboards with gSheets as backend/api - or as input UI, fetched to SQLite.

I'd be looking very much forward for: data validation, conditional formatting (including heatmaps) and - what gSheet doesn't offer natively, multiple choices cells via data validation or values from another column/sheet.

<s>I was surprised I couldn't way to view a spreadsheet as a DataTable, or back as a DataTable</s> (LE: found later how in documentation). And no sticky/frozen header row, ugh.

Cherry on top would be gSheets like SQL flavoured QUERY.

LE2: to add the wishlist, a potentially killer feature to/for some, dashboard type of sheet, with minimal/layout options –rows & columns blocks that can host charts & text (headings & paragraphs), with global filters – it would add a feature or two complementary to what gSheets offers. And at some point maybe, comments - per sheet or column only.

Conditional formatting is high on the to-do list
