We're testing with early access users. Would be grateful for any feedback if you're interested! Decipad.com

Using Edge on Windows with SmartScreen turned on.
For example, we use Office 365 and OneDrive for file management. But, I prefer Keynote over PowerPoint. Saving Keynote to OneDrive folders works perfectly fine. Of course that means anyone who wants to edit my documents needs OneDrive and Keynote, but that's reasonable for our team.
To use Decipad, Notion, Coda, Google Docs etc. We would need a way to manage the documents in OneDrive, an authentication mechanism so that the documents can be open and edited from OneDrive. Whether it's OneDrive, Box, DropBox, or GDrive my issue might be the same for others.
Just rewrite the software to run on Mac & Windows and save documents as files, and then we would give it a try :-)
My point is that since Decipad is not a client app that creates documents on the file system, my recommendation would be to integrate with the Office 365 ecosystem to gain SSO with Office 365 so that our users could easily navigate to Decipad. For us, that would be table stakes.
So you're looking to pay $1000 per user per year?
So it's cheaper, less risk, and reduces friction to join.
If I'm doing a professional SaaS today, I don't store passwords. I use login with (Microsoft, Google, Apple with a user flow for FIDO Alliance passwordless) and SSO. If consumer, I'd use those and add Facebook. Gaming, Discord. Etc.
It should look like this:

Companies not offering the Sign in with Apple may be just mad they might not get an email address they can correlate:
Now that Apple launched free MDM (Apple Business Essentials) and corporate Apple IDs, expect more apple accounts.
If this is lightweight AND has these cool data modelling features then I'm on board.
Having to give my email, click a link, set up an account, etc. just to see what this is to decide if I want to use it, is far too high of a barrier to entry.
I’m pretty happy with Observable’s notebooks. It means you need to know JavaScript, though, and furthermore learn Observable’s quirks [1] and a plotting library.

We plan to make our documentation publicly available soon. Right now, we are focusing on enabling certain use cases.
I applied for early access but I wanted to ask how you balance the amount of spreadsheet and modeling you expose vs keeping it out of sight?
It's been a big topic that we talk about a lot as a team as we continue to build. We ultimately want to give creators the control on how they want to share and present their model. And, give the reader/collaborator some controls on how they want to consume it. But, we also want to make it easier for people to understand what different calculations mean and how the model works so they can learn and collaborate more effectively. One approach we've been exploring as we build Decipad is a more human way to write calculations that are easier to read and understand.
