sheet.getData(); sheet.setData([['First','line','text']); sheet.destroy() More complete example Goals and limitations I've created this lib because I was tired of having to remove 90% of the features offered by the very few open source libs for web spreadsheets. So for this reinventing the wheel to make sense, I should not add any extra features to this core. The lib is fresh and not battle tested, probably has some bugs. The API is not stable yet.

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time.
