    Hey Hacker news! This is my first launch here and I’m glad to present you: Unlimited Sheets. Let me show you why Unlimited Sheets was created ^^ Problem Google Sheets is a great tool. Actually, if you work from the Internet, it is one of the most used ones or at least in my field: SEO. The problem with Google Sheets is that it is very limited when we are talking about functionalities related to the web (or even SEO).
