I was hesitant to add my own but I think you might find it interesting as we make money not from clients but from grants.

We have IronCalc[1]. We don't make money from customers as we don't have a finalized product yet. But we have an ongoing grant from the NLnet[2]. You can have a look at the kind of projects they are granting money. It's always a source of inspiration.

That being said IronCalc takes a lot of time from me. Way more than a side project should.

The friction to try it out is already really low, I like that! But it could be even lower if instead of an image the interactive version is served right on the landing page. Great project!

Yes, Dani the designer involved in the project, keeps saying that. There are two things that stops me from doing that:

* It would make the landing page a bit heavier * I would need to synchronize deployments somehow

But I guess I should do that sooner rather than later.

Thanks!

		Just my two cents, but: - In terms of data, this is nothing compared to any site serving a bunch of images. The compute would differ, but loading speed shouldn't be an issue if you can render the HTML first, and hydrate it after page load. This static HTML would then also serve as fallback when Javascript is disabled. - For a quick demo, I doubt you will lose people by embedding an older version. Serving a version of a few months ago seems like 80% of the work, with 20% of the effort, in terms of deployment. Anyhow, nice to see government funds put to a good cause!

This is very cool indeed. Is there anything similar for ppt presentations that you know of?
