Stop defending Excel. It's costing you more than SAP ever would.
I've seen it too many times.
A warehouse running 3 locations off a shared spreadsheet. 4 versions of the same file. Nobody knows which one is real.
That's not a tool problem. That's a liability.
SAP isn't for everyone — but if your Excel sheet has more than 10 tabs and 3 people editing it, you've already outgrown it.
Here's the honest breakdown:
Excel is fine until:
→ Two people overwrite each other's data
→ A formula breaks and nobody notices for 3 weeks
→ Your auditor asks for a trail and you have nothing
SAP makes sense when:
→ Your ops span multiple sites or entities
→ Finance, procurement, and warehouse need the same data
→ Mistakes have a real cost
The question isn't which is better. It's which one matches where you actually are.
Which one are you using — and are you being honest about whether it's still working?

I built a multiplayer surrealist drawing game with Figma Make.
The Exquisite Corpse is a 100-year-old game where each player draws their section of a figure in secret. Nobody sees the full picture until the reveal. Head, middle, legs. Strangers become collaborators. The result is always unexpected.
I rebuilt it for the web real-time, multiplayer, ready to play in 30 seconds.
Here's how Figma Make changed my process:
I started with a design prototype in Figma. Then I prompted Figma Make to turn it into a working codebase and it did. What used to take days of scaffolding took hours. From there I took it local, pushed it further: Firebase for real-time multiplayer sync, Lottie animations in the background, a growing gallery that collects every creature players create together.
The workflow felt like having a co-pilot who never gets tired. Figma Make handled the heavy lifting. I handled the craft.
What I'm proud of:
→ Players draw on a shared canvas in real-time, each seeing only a sliver of the previous section (the classic "fold" technique)
→ A gallery that grows with every game played a living archive of collaborative weirdness
→ Reference markers guide proportions so the final reveal actually connects
What I still want to polish:
The bones are there. The fun is real. But I need your feedback to make it better. Try it, break it, tell me where you got lost.
👉 Play it here: mock-amity-90210032.figma.site
Create a room → send the code to a friend → draw your section without peeking → reveal.
Drop your creature in the comments.

I built a Google Sheets data analyst in 3 steps, no code required.
Here's how it works:
💬 I ask via WhatsApp: "How much money did the business make between March and June?"
🤖 AI reads the message and checks the Google Sheet
📊 Filters all transactions between March and June
✅ Only counts successfully completed transactions
➕ Adds everything up automatically
💬 Sends back a full reply with the exact total
No opening spreadsheets. No manual filtering. No formulas.
Just ask a question and get the answer instantly.
This is what having an AI analyst on your team actually looks like.
