Replace Blockchain with Spreadsheet
Description from store

WHAT:
This is a Chrome browser extension that can help readers contextualize news stories with hype about multiple copies of a giant excel spreadsheet technology, by reminding you that multiple copies of a giant excel spreadsheet is, in essense, a giant Excel spreadsheet.

WHY:
For fun.

SPECIAL THANKS:
Twitter user @mims (Christopher Mims) for the suggestion to make a "browser extension that replaces "blockchain" with "mulitple copies of a giant Excel spreadsheet." For example, "multiple copies of a giant excel spreadsheet to revolutionize journalism."

Thanks to Tom Maxwell for the tutorial and template code for this project!

Enjoy!

I come across the word blockchain online just often enough for it to stay fresh. Good for at least a couple of double-takes per week.
