SpreadShare
No-code calculators/charts with Excel formula support
Funnily enough, you'd think customising the layout would have been a higher priority from users. It looks like the default system covers 99% of use cases.
However, now you can customise it if you wish!
This is very beneficial for those who update their Spreads frequently, or those creating very long calculators or dashboards (of which there are a few!)
You can watch a demo video of SpreadShare and it's new layout feature here: https://vimeo.com/888466402
Additionally, there are general UX improvements all-around.
There are going to be additional updates to the layout design feature, but first I have to work on features requested by existing customers :)
Let me know if you find this new update useful!
Just got the Stripe notification and have been dancing around the house!
This customer was definitely a case of 'do things that don't scale' to begin with. Several emails back and forth as they had questions and concerns. Last night I was debugging their submission and even fixed up some issues in their Excel sheet.
Clearly I made an impression, they subscribed as soon as they got in the office today!

Awesome - am looking forward to following your journey! I think a lot of people use calculators online and many sites have a use-case for having one of their own...but don't even know where to begin. Big market for this!

Thanks John, I definitely think you're right that there are lots of people who don't know where to begin.
It's a complex area with so much customization even the simplest tool can seem complex.Funnily enough, all my leads who are close to converting are all looking to use it for internal tools rather than as lead generation tools!

That's awesome, I was through the exact same with my first customer, a lot of custom help and interaction. But you learn so much from it.
Now on to the next 🚀

SaaSHub is a great website that shows reviews and alternatives to various SaaS solutions.
Really happy to share that they have decided to feature SpreadShare for the week!!
Have already seen a few sign-ups as part of the feature.
Definitely feeling good and hoping this is a sign of things to come 📈
Just joined IndieHackers, excited to be part of this community. I've been looking for JUST THIS for a while now.
My goal is to acquire my first paying user by the end of the year.
This month I've done a lot of writing to improve the copy on the website.
I have a few leads in the pipeline who are close to converting, but here is what I need to do.
- Fix bugs
- Improve default look of Spreads
- Create onboarding / documentation
- Keep up conversations with users
Who else is working towards their first sale? Do you have an action plan?

Hahaha, great logo (context: It is a sheet being spread with butter, love puns).
Loving the idea of this tool, If i were you, i would try targeting keywords related to Webflow and other "no-code website builders", as those are probably more likely to be looking for this type of tool.
Publishing a tutorial/video named "How to embed a calculator in webflow" or something like that might help, just a thought.
I am also working towards my first sale, also in the "Sheets market" (db2sheets.com), I think for my product, running ads on related subreddits might be an efficient way to go, but still to be proven.
Following this product to see how it goes :)

Haha, thank you!
Yes, definitely writing those tutorials with the relevant copy will be useful. Planning to do one each for Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, Wordpress, and Bubble.
I love your website! Excellent framing of the customer's struggle. Nice work with the comparisons too!

Working towards it. Still in development and building an organic presence with Google. Project started at the beginning of August so still very early in the process.
This is my 2nd time around. Built a software business from scratch 10yrs ago (sold it last year). I always focus first on getting a good presence online (by blogging) but YouTube will factor into the equation as well as soon as there is an alpha version.
My advice: start getting beta testers signed-up! Do this by creating content and sharing it.
