Created 'respread' out of frustration that I couldn't integrate data from third-parties or remote models from my data science team directly into spreadsheet-based valuation models. Fetching data from a web API or database connection generally requires fragile PowerQuery/VBA hacks in Excel. And there's no viable way to do things like send pdf files to a service that will extract and return key contract terms.
There are some simple examples in the docs (https://jrdnh.github.io/respread/). Thanks!
