Congrats on launching Fireproof! You mentioned syncing content-addressed encrypted files via S3 or Cloudflare. For developers already using existing cloud-first setups, how seamless is it to integrate Fireproof as a hybrid solution?

about 2 years give or take. but there's a lot more than the surface shows:

* live collab * own parser, interpreter, computer, language

if you are building something similar happy to jump and tell you more! always keen on helping others! good luck

Hey! I'm Nuno a co-founder at Decipad.

Appreciate the input. We actually have two former founders of similar products working in our team. Would love to know what you think of Decipad after using it. Grid is a terrific company. None of the "competitors" in the space made it, but surely one will. Hopefully many of them, us included. I agree -- it's really hard to build a product that defines a new category. But that's what motivates us.

Let me know if you do try it, would be super curious to see the feedback.

I know there's a big community of startup founders over here, wondering if anyone got any feedback or if I got any calculations wrong?

Maybe it helps someone too!!

Me and the Decipad team have been following fugue for a while - would love a chat

I’m Nuno, co-founder at Decipad, and we’re constantly trying to reimagine the spreadsheet.

Today, making decisions and communicating with numbers is still really hard. It’s hard to learn Excel, and even once you’ve mastered it, it still has it’s drawbacks… These are some pain points from spreadsheet users we’re trying to address…

1. Giving context to numbers. Being able to differentiate easily between meters and feet, to avoid errors. 2. Quickly organise and showcase data that matters. 3. Quickly publish models that look great.

Recently, we just launched Data Views! It’s similar to pivot tables, but you can easily reuse data throughout your notebook. All you need to do is drag and drop. We’re really excited because it’s a way to organise and visualise your data in seconds. And, you don’t need to use any formulas.

Don’t get me wrong — this is not to say that we think spreadsheets are bad. In fact, quite the opposite: they’re essential. But, spreadsheets force models through a visual grid. They obscure data relationships in formulas hidden behind cells, are prone to breaking, and are not very elegant looking.

If you could reimagine a spreadsheet, what would you change?

Our goal is to make it powerful enough to support a range of modeling and calculation needs, from a financial modeling to building a recipe (e.g. https://dev.decipad.com/n/The-Saturday-White-Bread%3A9JQMbgK...)! We wrote our formula language to support a broad range of modeling use cases. We’re currently testing that language with a small group. Is there any particular use case you would be interested in using a more powerful formula language for?

Would love to know more. Learning prolog at uni was quite the experience, but don't really know how that could be used in our language. Happy to chat, join discord and we can talk about it. Here’s the link - https://discord.com/invite/HwDMqwbGmc

Hi Everyone! I’m a co-founder at Decipad. Love the support and excitement for what we’re building! We’re currently collaborating with a small group of early access users. Come say hi on Discord. We will be sharing more soon. And, if you have a certain modeling use case in mind, we would love to learn more about it.

Yes, it's a community lead conference!
