Exodia - Excel to Web App

Non‑technical teams often rely on complex Excel sheets for operations, but turning those into usable web tools usually needs a developer and weeks of work. Exodia was created to let anyone turn existing spreadsheets into functional web apps in minutes instead of building everything from scratch.

Exodia lets users upload an Excel file and automatically generates a responsive web app with forms, tables, and basic logic mapped from the sheet. It also provides a shareable URL so teams can use the app immediately without worrying about hosting or deployment.

For the frontend, we used Next.js to build a fast, responsive React UI and handle routing and rendering for the generated apps.

On the backend, Exodia runs on a Hono.js API layer with a PostgreSQL database, giving us a lightweight, high‑performance server and a robust relational store for schemas, apps, and user data.

We also ran into issues deploying to Netlify when it failed to read our GitHub repository, even though the integration looked correctly connected.​

Debugging repo permissions and Git provider linking took time away from building features, and taught us how fragile automated deployments can be when authorization or access settings are even slightly misconfigured.​

We learned how to take AI‑generated code all the way to a live, production deployment. From configuring build settings to wiring environment variables, we managed to get Exodia deployed and running perfectly on modern platforms like Netlify and Vercel with minimal manual changes.

We learned how to use AI code generation to go beyond just scaffolding UI and actually produce deployable, production‑ready code.

In particular, we experimented with generating projects that can be pushed directly to modern deployment platforms like Netlify or Vercel, including the right build settings and configuration files so non‑technical users can ship apps with almost no manual setup.

Next, Exodia will let users chat with an AI copilot to design and refine their web app UI, similar to vibe coding but grounded in their actual Excel structure and business logic.

Users will be able to say things like “turn this sheet into a sales dashboard with filters and charts” or “make this form mobile‑friendly and add validation,” and the AI will update the generated app layout, components, and behaviors in real time.
