This looks sleek and well-made! However, this is a pretty crowded space. Spreadsheet Converter (https://www.spreadsheetconverter.com) and Spreadsheet Web (https://www.spreadsheetweb.com) are directly comparable and have been around for years. (Like Publisheet, Spreadsheet Converter offers an Excel add-in.)

Then there are lots of web app builders, including Calculoid (https://www.calculoid.com), Calconic (https://www.calconic.com), uCalc Pro (https://ucalc.pro) and Calcapp (https://www.calcapp.net/lp/website-calculators/), that require more work to get from an Excel sheet to a web app, but get the job done with an end result that doesn't look like a spreadsheet. How does Publisheet improve on the competition?

(Full disclosure: I'm a co-founder of Calcapp.)

When I started Publisheet, the idea was that it would allow users to create static, web-based reports from their spreadsheets, including textual information that would be written as Markdown (with a WYSIWYG editor) directly in one or more cells. I thought that it would be an easy way to create complete financial reports, for instance. The landing page's images still reflect that.

But as soon as it launched, I noticed that no one was using it for text-heavy reports. People just wanted to publish their spreadsheets online, as is, with formula support. So, I started focusing on that and ended up in this crowded space, as you correctly state.

I think that Publisheet's main selling point is that it's really simple to install and use. There's no .exe to install, there is no need to upload the Excel file in the browser, there is no form builder. Also, it works on Windows, Mac and in Excel Online. You basically click Publish and it's done. But I am aware that all the systems you listed are way more feature-complete than Publisheet and it is something we'll have to improve.

By the way, congrats on Calcapp, it looks really polished!

Really nice, tried with a chart and worked smoothly.

Just for fun: would be nice to know max publishing - I just tried 1k * 30 columns and it errored out. I wanted to see how I could interact with a large chart of data.

tiagoalves · 6 years ago

Yeah, we haven't defined a limit yet but letting it error out is definitely not acceptable. We'll fix it, thanks for the feedback.

Cool idea. I like how focused it is. I'd love to be able to see an example without signing up though.

tiagoalves · 6 years ago

Haven't gotten around updating the landing page yet but here is an example: https://www.publisheet.com/demos/quotation-demo.

Just tap the screen or move your mouse over the page and you'll see which cells are editable.

This is amazing, but there is no way that my firm will send any excels with our data to a relatively small and unknown third-party provider who will host it on a public URL. Are you thinking about allowing users to run this on-site?

tiagoalves · 6 years ago

This is a valid concern that people have shared with me before. It isn't in my immediate plans yet but depending on more feedback, we might offer an on-site solution in the future.

Hi! My name is Tiago and I'm part of the Muzzley dev team. Muzzley enables applications, and Internet-connected systems in general, to be remote-controlled with a smartphone. We provide a set of integration libraries (JS, Node.js, AS3, .NET and Java) and a mobile application for iOS and Android. Developers can choose which built-in virtual controller is best-suited for their application (such as a gamepad for a game or a drawpad for a painting application) or they can roll their own custom HTML-based controller.
