Systems, devices, and methods for software coding

This invention describes a system that allows people with no programming experience to build interactive forms or questionnaires using a spreadsheet. A server presents a user interface where someone can select a spreadsheet that contains specific logic statements, such as "if X then Y" conditions, within its cells. The system then locks the spreadsheet from further modification and uses these logic statements to control how the form behaves and what questions appear next.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread AI code generation. Large language models can now interpret complex logic statements and generate UI elements, making the 'no programming' aspect more accessible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, UI rendering, spreadsheet parsing
