Sorry if it wasn't clear in the article! - You can get to our homepage from the header that says Monocle - I added a link at the very start of the article

In short, Monocle is a service that we're building to push your bank transactions to GSuite. Part of it is you get a nice spreadsheet that acts as a dashboard. You can see an example on http://bit.ly/monocledemo

The chatroom is used for live support. Honestly, I think it's easy for someone to get overwhelmed in Sheets and have a bunch of open questions. In that context, I think that live chat is superior as a means to help someone, than say sending support tickets or such. So I wanted a solution that would let people chat with us from within the spreadsheet.

Being based on Google Sheets, we were lucky to be in web. So I looked for ways to embed something in Sheets, which led me to two options: Sidebars and Dialogs. They allow embedding, which works well with Discord. So we decided to use this solution to provide people with live support.

I'm the guy who wrote the article. Let me know if you have any questions about migrating from Slack to Discord, or about how we've been using widgets to extend Google Sheets!

Thanks. I need to look at what kinds of things can be done with Google Fonts.

Oh good idea! Yeah I need to think about how we could merge the game and the navigation better :)

Solid service. I've been using it to educate my teammates about entrepreneurial thinking.

Thanks for the new slideshow feature!

We're working on it :)

Oh thanks, I didn't know about it!

The facebook layout is getting me more likes and comments, believe it or not.

No problem :) I think it's great that you guys are building up the brand and network. We were talking with Alex Farcet this summer about doing a cooperation with AaltoVG. I think this kinda stuff is needed, especially in terms of collaboration.

Did you follow what we did with Garage48?

I have nothing but respect for Alex's work. However, as a coach at the Aalto Venture Garage and the upcoming Springboard in the UK, I think calling it the first true accelerator is borderline insulting.

Need I remind you that The Difference Engine had foreign teams? Geogoer is Lithuanian.

The startup programs at the Aalto Venture Garage have had teams from Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia.

I'm not too familiar with HackFWD but I believe they're been international as well.

I think StartupBootcamp is awesome. And there's great ambition there. But I think calling each others programs better or worse (or truly european or whatever) is counter productive.
