Love this! With integrations to 3rd-party data sources (like AirTable, Google Sheets, Databases, Notion, etc.), this can be a very useful product, especially for use with LLMs.
The trackpad calibration on my MacBook Air is almost okay, just a tad bit too slow/rigid to move around.

  Thank you for trying it out! Noted on the trackpad--I'll make some adjustments to make it snappier.
  Funny you mention the integrations, since this started out as a spreadsheet project. I then ran into UX problems of how to toggle between the cell source and the result without shifting the layout too much. I'm sure there's a solution to this, but I just haven't figured it out yet.

  Agreed. My guess would be to make the pan ~2-3x as fast.

    I doubled the pan rate, which seems to make the experience better!

    Instructional table + acceleration helps a lot with the demo!

interesting. Instead of blank canvas may be have some sample table it would be easier to start. it took me sometime to figure out how it works.

  Thank you! Shouldn't be too hard to add some sample table data on first-time load.

  Bump - probably a table with instructions.
