About

I've been a maker since my teenage years in the 1990s. During that time, I created a simple Windows media player and distributed it as "shareware," asking for a one-time fee of $10. To my excitement, I received an envelope all the way from the US to Sweden some time later, containing a slightly rumpled $10 bill. It was one of the best days of my life. Word about my project got around at school, and I found myself confronted by a bully in the hallway. "Why would anyone in their right mind give you money for that piece of garbage you created?", he asked me. Happily, this encounter happened the day after I received that envelope, and I took great pleasure in responding, "Well, actually..."

Calcapp - Build apps instead of spreadsheets

Calcapp is an app designer for spreadsheet users with support for almost 300 formula functions. Lay out your interface visually, connect formulas to fields and share your app with co-workers and customers. Add multi-level menus to help your users navigate, buttons that e-mail PDF reports and validation rules that flag bad values. Apps work offline.

Calcapp - Build apps, not spreadsheets

🚀 Grateful for the #2 launch 5 years ago (to the day!), enabling me to work full-time on Calcapp! Our release today adds powerful action formulas, a tabular data editor and 11 types of buttons to Calcapp — the app builder with the mightiest formula engine. 💪
