I've spent a few hours today dealing with the fallout from the landing page we launched a few months ago. The landing page is for the cloud-based calculator app builder Calcapp Creator that we're hoping will replace Excel for a good many use cases. (Build a calculator app using the service and have it generate apps for iOS, Android, desktop computers and the web.)

I do customer development by responding to every sign-up and asking people their precise requirements. That invariably leads to people sending me obfuscated Excel calculators, which I then analyze. A couple of months ago, I spent a lot of time having lunch with businesses interested in our service, now I mostly interact with people that have found the landing page. That thankfully leaves more time for product development.

I spent the rest of the day playing with the browser-based app builder -- which is implemented using AngularJS -- and on modifying our custom compiler (which produces the apps) to accept JSON data from the app builder.
