Neat project, although selecting cells often does not work. (I assume that's because it's in alpha.)

This line, though:

> is lightweight: ~2000 lines of source code (excluding libraries)

I feel like that's a very different meaning of "lightweight" than I normally think of. I guess you're considering it from the perspective of a developer who works on it. As a user, however, the browser downloads 1.4MB of javascript, which is quite large, I'd say.

1.4MB is about 50 VisiCalcs (http://www.bricklin.com/history/vcexecutable.htm) but I wouldn’t call it “quite large” for modern software.

Yeah, I’m not happy with the download size either. It’s mostly the third-party JS parser.
