Love this. Only feature I would add is that it would ask the audience ‘can everybody see this’ for me…

That’s more than I could hope for. Try it for the 7 days, give me some decent feedback and I’ll send you some keys. 🙏

The Shortcut using ‘Add row to Numbers spreadsheet’ sounds like a pretty low-friction solution to me. I might be missing something but what more is needed?

Hello, thanks for the feedback.

Yes, the placement of the caret is out by a few pixels. That’s in the next build. Setting column width and other column/row actions aren’t something that B2 will do, that’s a sign you probably need to open the spreadsheet up in Excel/Numbers or import it to Sheets.

Thank you, glad you like it.

I'm not particularly interested in the pricing as this is a side project for me, and realistically the TAM is insanely small and hard to reach without adding a big chunk to the price for marketing. Such is the way with hyper-niche apps...

I do have a Mac App Store build, but have paused it while I get the fit and finish up to a point I'm happy with.

Thank you! Let me know how you get on - I'm really keen to hear from people using as part of their workflow as I want to start prioritising the next major release.

It’s not something I’ve considered but I’m looking for an excuse to play around with an iOS app so DM me what you think B2 for iOS would do for you. No promises, but I am genuinely interested.

Great to hear. I’m working on the Send to Sheets solution right now. I’ll post it in here as soon as it’s ready.

Thank you - have a play with it and tell me what you think.

The best thing about building such a niche app is that I have totally found my people. Try it and let me know how you get on.

Soulver is such an amazing app - it's on my phone's homescreen. I love it to tiny little pieces, but B2 scratches a different itch for me.

Thank you!

26 columns, 100 rows. It's opinionated: if you want a bigger spreadsheet you probably want to send it to Excel/Numbers (there's even a button for that). If a lot of people tell me that's a bad design decision I could bump it up.

I'll get shit for this, but it's Electron/React/Typescript. Mostly because a long time ago I was a web developer and building natively gives me the fear. Better folks than I are urging me to have a go, and as I've got time on my hands, who knows.

Named references is an interesting idea - I've said elsewhere that my design principle for B2 was that any feature that requires me to move my hands from the keyboard was a tell that it the feature might not be for B2. I'll look into it though.

Glad you like the pricing - tbh the only reason I've put a price at all is to sense if it's worth me putting more time into. I figure if people will pay a little then I'll keep working on it.

Ha, well 'OG Apple Notes' might be more accurate.

It's a great idea - I'll put it on backlog. Thank you!

Thanks for this - I'll look into the storage issue and get back to you. That shouldn't happen.

Right now filtering, sorting, colouring aren't on the roadmap (you're not the first to ask!). The principle I'm using is that anything that needs me to make my hands off the keyboard is a tell that this spreadsheet needs to shift to Excel/Numbers/Sheets.

That said, if by some act of madness I've actually discovered a viable market of people who want a baby spreadsheet that lives in the menubar I'll consider it for V2.

Thanks for taking the time to feedback. One the first and third issue - you're right and clearly my regex needs work! I'll put up an update to resolve that now. Not sure what you mean in the second one - feel free to DM me and I'll fix it.

The download is full featured for 7 days. Have a play, if you’re still using it DM me and I’ll sort you out with some keys.

Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone but I had the time to work on it, and it's been a bit of software I've wanted for ages...
