Decipad has its own custom formula language geared towards our use cases (we’ve been testing the language with a small group). Right now, to share a notebook, you can generate a secret link. You don’t need to sign-up to view/read a notebook that someone shares. Here is a model on interest rates- https://alpha.decipad.com/n/Rising-interest-rates-and-AAPL-s... You should be able to view it. Are there any use cases you are thinking of?

We plan to make our documentation publicly available soon. Right now, we are focusing on enabling certain use cases.

We hear you! As we build, we’re prioritising certain use cases. If you’re an entrepreneur (or know one), that can relate to the pains of creating your first cap table, explaining burn to investors or managing your P&L in a spreadsheet, we would love to chat.

We dream to one day be just as useful.

We’re working on it as you speak! In a couple of months, we’ll be expanding access to more people, and we’ll have more videos and use cases to share soon.

Thanks a bunch! It's really early stages here... but we're so excited with the possibilities this tool will unlock.

It's been a big topic that we talk about a lot as a team as we continue to build. We ultimately want to give creators the control on how they want to share and present their model. And, give the reader/collaborator some controls on how they want to consume it. But, we also want to make it easier for people to understand what different calculations mean and how the model works so they can learn and collaborate more effectively. One approach we've been exploring as we build Decipad is a more human way to write calculations that are easier to read and understand.

I've been working on Decipad. It's a low-code notebook to tell stories with numbers and build interactive models. It's like Notion with spreadsheet-like capabilities. You can build and publish interactive notebooks for things like forecasting, burn rate, a mortgage calculator, or just something fun.

We're testing with early access users. Would be grateful for any feedback if you're interested! Decipad.com

Is there any way to try it out interactively without having to sign up for early access? When I loaded the website and I read what it said about changing Discount Rate, I immediately tried clicking around to actually do that and see the change but of course it didn't work.

Right now, access is limited as we continue to build. We are collaborating with a small group of early access users from our community as we develop certain use cases and features. We will be expanding access in the coming months as we expand to new use cases and capabilities.

Is this like formulas (https://www.notion.so/help/formulas) on steroids?

I think it's more like https://causal.app

Our goal is to make it powerful enough to support a range of modeling and calculation needs, from a financial modeling to building a recipe (e.g. https://dev.decipad.com/n/The-Saturday-White-Bread%3A9JQMbgK...)! We wrote our formula language to support a broad range of modeling use cases. We’re currently testing that language with a small group. Is there any particular use case you would be interested in using a more powerful formula language for?

This is really cool. We're building something similar at Decipad (https://www.decipad.com) would love to hear what you think.
