Rows 2.0: The easiest way to use data on a spreadsheet

Tks for elaborating! I’m the founder of Rows

it’s not clear to me if that comparison is with Rows or another product

Rows is built to be as flexible as any other spreadsheet

- You can add whatever you want in a cell, literals, formulas, we even support json as a primitive type. - we got the same formulas vlookup sum sumifs filter query, plus hundreds new ones like get, put, post, schedule, expand - we got conditional formatting (not as powerful as sheets, we will get there). - we we got shortcuts, above it all ctrl-k/ Cmd-k, but also many block navigation ones (ctrl+arrow, Cmd+arrow), excel windows compatible shortcuts (f2/f4), and a bunch of others.

Anything in particular you think is a dealbreaker for you?

Tx for responding.

My feedback isn't specific to Rows. The dealbreaker for us was post-evaluation. On paper, the alternative option looked preferable but it wasn't until we started using it that the friction became problematic.

The only suggestion I have is to closely watch standard interactions that users coming from a traditional spreadsheet have.

Rows looks great and I hope my post didn't come off wrong. The issues I had may (or may not) be applicable to Rows. I appreciate your willingness to listen.

I figured it wasn't specific. I know exactly what you mean by this friction. We will work hard to establish ourselves as a trusted, safe choice.
