       | Is there any way to add columns or rows?

         | In general, I recommend anyone that reports something is broken
         | on their brower to at least try it in a guest profile (i.e.
         | with all extensions disabled, all settings being default)
         | first. The author can't really catch the issue if it's caused
         | by certain extensions/block rules/non-default settings.

       | A bit cumbersome to add equations. Consider a few quick-populated
       | options with common ones?

       | Is there anyone who opens a classic spreadsheet software (from
       | excel to google sheets) and says "I need something limited with
       | less cells!"?

         | 
         | I wish there was an option in Google Sheets to start with fewer
         | columns. I almost never need a full alphabet.
