Background: There are many great spreadsheets. Spreadsheets for creating quotes, for tracking orders, tracking kids learning to swim. But staff would rather use a good user interface, with buttons etc, than a spreadsheet when doing work day to day.

Examples: http://sheet.cellmaster.com.au/examples Slow - complex app: http://sheet.cellmaster.com.au/carbonoffset/app

How: It adds GUI formulas and event handling formulas to a standard spreadsheet.

Looking for: Early adopters and use cases.

Stack: Nodejs - JS/livescript - redis https://github.com/audreyt/ethercalc - Built using Dan Bricklin's (inventor of the spreadsheet) open source spreadsheet

Warning: It is slow with large volumes of data/formulas. It needs work.

Tag line: Web apps as simple as spreadsheets

Feedback welcome

Looking for feedback and early adopters

In a YC video, PG said teams are advised to spend 80% of their time building and talking to users. Any idea what video it was in? Also, are there any good stories that demonstrate why this is good advice.

Background: working on an expert system, that has "startup advice". It is story based advice, advice that has a story to back it up and give it context.
