Tinysheet - Hackdot

This is not targeting people who go to a spreadsheet software first; this is targeting people who need some quick calculation and can use the power of spreadsheet software. Maybe it's a quick forecast of an investment/loan over a few years, maybe it's a list of friends who owe you money for your group trip, maybe it's just the waiter who runs the payments for a 10-person table who all pay differently and they want to note who paid how much and what is left on the total bill. This is just like opening Notepad++ for copy-pasting something quickly instead of opening Word.

I can see a lot of uses for that kind of "quick spreadsheeting" that don't require you to fire a full-blown editor.

But it's not.

Noteped++ is a pure text editor, word is not (because it has formatting, auto capitalization and other crap, that might bother you, especially if you paste a snippet of code).

This is like openining an online, special, 10-line limited version of notepad, instead of a normal notepad, that you already have installed on your pc, which has no line limits.

I do that kind of quick spreadsheeting on the Apple Numbers app. I can’t say it’s particularly pleasant to use. There’s definitely a need for reimagining the spreadsheet UI for mobile spreadsheeting.

What if I need to put more than 10 friends on my list. Why is it arbitrarily limited?
