Hmm, this has really screwed us over at www.talk.manvfat.com we used embedded Google Spreadsheets as a way for guys to record their weights, the spreadsheet then calculated BMI, etc.
e.g. - how it used to work for us:

What it looks like now:

We also used them as a way of running tracking threads - e.g. guys who wanted to track days off booze, etc.
It wasn’t perfect (mobile users didn’t report great functionality) so it could have been improved but neither of those functions can be replicated by Discourse as standard, so to my mind, you’ve stripped away something without much thought about who might be using this function.
Is there any other way of doing this? Any suggestions?
