dashdash (now Rows) - The best data & APIs for business in a spreadsheet

I love the idea ever since I met Torben at Tech Crunch. The possibility to build my simple scripts without bothering my CTO is awesome. I see great application in automated lead generation. I just wish the most used cases would be ready off the shelf and am not sure if I can get all api keys quickly that Dashdash may already have - I'd be open to a fee, if I could use them temporarily

I use dashdash to automatise recurring tasks throughout our Business Dev and Sales process. Over the past 10 months I stopped buying expensive sales leads and catch up with my customers much quicker. Besides being super easy to use, dashdash is worth it for saving money

Pros:

- Ready-to-use applications - Integration with API of Google CSE, Clearbit, Twilio - Pre-programed Excel functions to develop your own app

Cons:

- just waiting for the next batch of Excel functions to be released

Finally! No need to have multiple spreadsheets and dashboards and a painstaking collage of cells and formulas. Need to interact with some data outside of your spreadsheet, use simple API calls. Ingenious. Simple. Usable. Great work guys, keep on pushing!

I've been using it to track some crypto assets.

Pros:

Friendly way to integrate with online services without technical knowledge. Great app to monitor and trigger things.

Cons:

Some more integrations can be added. Ex: office 365 (planner)

While it might not seem at first that plagiarizing art is of great concern about a product that provides data, DashDash's ignoring of my comment (which was anonymously reported to Product Hunt), speaks volumes. I would watch this company for ethics violations, as they have already committed at least one.

I've used dashdash to build an invoicing app that tracks accounts receivable. The App shoots an email (via sendgrid integration) to non-paying customers with some customized data: - Invoices due for payment - Deadline for payment - Total amount due In dashdash you start with a blank page. This is great, since it gives you maximum flexibility. But if it’s your first time using the product, you’d be better off with a couple of examples and uses cases before jumping into formulas. I'd love to see a template section organized by categories (marketing, finance, project management, legal, venture capital, ...)

Pros:

- The spreadshseet interface is very familiar (just like g sheets) - The ability to call services from a cell - Very easy to export data

Cons:

- Add function to drag formula and fill down cells (mouse) - Add function to insert mul. rows/columns (mouse) - Spreadsheet scrolls too fast

I have used dashdash for quiet a while now and am excited to see how the product develops. While in the beginning I replicated Google Sheets use cases on dashdash to test it, I now use dashdash whenever I know that I need many external intergations or recurring actions as these are painful with Apps Script. Keep up the good work, excited to see what's next.

Pros:

- replacing endless custom scripts in Google Sheets with simple formulas - having all the functionality in a spreadhseet environment

Cons:

- collaboration and sharing to e.g. create interactive dashboards

great solution!

Pros:

easy to use

Cons:

none

Helps us to automate our lead research & Sales processes. Keep up the great work!

Pros:

- Pre-build apps & integrations - Familiar interface, simple & intuitive - Powerful automations

Cons:

Additional integrations would obviously be great :)

I use dashdash to get my favorite exchange rates directly on my Slack channel automatically.

Pros:

- easy as a spreadsheet - powerful repeat function for automation - built-in integrations very quick to use

Cons:

- Missing some common spreadsheet functions but I guess that time will bring them
