Hi epmoyer. First things first, thanks!! Second, the project hit HN before I could actually release MVP version 0.5. But heck you know what they say about being proud of your product at the time of release.

I will be working in coming weeks to make it easy to embed and use at the time being you would need a bit of plumbing and programming.

You can use IronCalc as an "embedded viewer" but that is not were it shines. If you are not using Excel formulas there are many other lighter and simpler alternatives out there.

There is currently a well defined API to set/read values from cells but you are right is not yet documented (on it's way). I is possible to have data from the start.

I will add a CHANGELOG as soon as possible. I am still recovering from the huge impact this thread had.

Thanks again for the kind words!

Awesome! Yeah, I had an OpenSource Hardware project blow up on a tech site overnight before I was ready to launch and it was really weird navigating the next ~two months before it was actually ready to ship.

I'm excited to follow along with your progress, and to embed it into something fun when it's ready for embedding :)

Thanks for adding the changelog today! That will make it super easy for everyone to follow the progress.

Cheers!
