The fake spreadsheet with real workflows is the detail that stuck with me. Anyone who's organized an offsite knows exactly what that 11pm scramble feels like without you having to oversell it.
Reading this I couldn't shake the feeling that this is the kind of product that could naturally be getting a lot more organic traffic than it probably is today. At this stage even a small shift there can change how quickly you validate the idea.
Have you started seeing any signs of that already?
The spreadsheet isn't really the product here—it's the artifact of doing the job manually.
Curious what you're seeing from the people who actually download it so far.
About
Getting a few hundred people from the airport to the hotel for an offsite used to be my job, done by hand in a spreadsheet the night before. No tool existed, so I built one.

Interesting experiment.
