Realistically it was more like editable gopher than excel - or that is what it was meant to be anyway, we didn't get to implement the editing functionality.
I still very much like the idea of being able to build lists from web based API's with only a handful of lines of Javascript.
You built something that was supposed to be an Excel clone, but you didn't implement the editing functionality?
Isn't that pretty much 99% of the point of Excel? I mean yes, people do use Excel to share data as well, but most scenarios involving shared Excel spreadsheets involve multiple people editing the same spreadsheet, and then generating reports out of it.
That's where the pain is, and that is what I had assumed you were aiming at. If not, then what did your system do exactly?
(Also, build lists from web based API's with only a handful of lines of Javascript isn't Excel, either)
Edit: I see further down you noted that your system was desktop based software. A web-based Excel/database hybrid isn't a big requirement list, but I'm not convinced you are covering a whole lot of it..
