Buzz about WideWord and WideSheet 2
WideWord seems to be taking off to some respects. I’m quite happy with the response considering it is about 2 weeks old. Amongst others Web 2.0 Central has covered WideWord and the upcoming WideSheet.
I should be ready with another little sneak peak of WideSheet tomorrow. I now have a fully working multidimensional spreadsheet model. There are no D8 like cell references and you should be able to get things working quickly. If I say so myself, it is pretty cool. However hold your horses, this is vastly more complex than WideWord and has some serious Rails trickery to make it work.
My goal is to provide an option for third party spreadsheet developers to sell or give away spreadsheet like templates, in the same way many small businesses sell excel templates/miniapplications today. If you are interested in developing apps like this, drop me an email at pelle@stakeitout.com

Just curious: did you pick up ideas from TrimSpreadSheet and NumSum?
Ashish, I have looked at NumSum, which is cool. I hadn’t looked at TrimSpreadSheet before.
I have been playing with the idea now for propably more than 3 years now. I wanted something different than the regular spreadsheet model. Quantrix is probably the closest to what I am doing. However it is super advanced and designed for heavy duty financial analysts.
Much of my ideas for WideSheet comes from last time I was busy doing business plans. It was a pain working on complex models together with various people. Emailing it back and forth, never being sure if we had the same version. We were also hit by the fact that I was using Linux and others using Windows. It was a real pain.
While my aim is not to make it super complex, I want it to be useful for spreadsheets that are actually going to be used and not just emailed off and forgotten.
