    Using your repo, I get an error: execution failed: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'value')

    This is great! Are you working on Monitoro (great name and logo by the way) full time? Seems like there'd be plenty of demand for it. A couple questions: 1. How do you handle auth …

    Agreed, GAS is a great idea, horribly executed. It's part of the reason I made Wax[0]. It lets people run Python + SQL from Sheets with zero infrastructure. It's like GAS built for…

    I agree. One of the great things with VB was you had an instant "programming environment" when you opened it from Excel. But I think learning VB feels like a waste since you can on…

    Is there a repo with the Tooljet project? e.g. what API calls are being made, etc.? Would be cool to see what a Tooljet user would do to make this.

    Wax ( https://www.wax.run/ ) lets you build internal tools on top of existing Google Sheets your team already uses. We help you automate annoying DevOps tasks like updating data in…

    I think this is actually targeted at adults. The only pic with a person in it is an adult. Think "secret santa" gift.

    This one does have colors though.

    Did you look at TablePlus? Curious where it landed in your evaluation since I've tried pretty much every desktop SQL client and have landed on TablePlus as my goto. Also, if you're…

    Nice landing page. Why would I use this over Fivetran / Airbyte?

    Wax ( https://www.wax.run/ ) lets you create a true bidirectional link between Google Sheets and your database (Postgres, Snowflake, MySQL, Redshift, and SQL Server). You can also …

    yeah, the type of person that would use this would know Python (or JS), in which case they'd want to use that. I noticed the same thing (technical spreadsheet users) and built Wax[…

    We're ( https://www.wax.run/ ) doing this. We expose a CRUD app for your existing database in Google Sheets. You can also call custom Python for anything not covered by SQL.

    Agreed, low-code is the happy middle ground here. Code is the most concise way to express what you want to do with data, so tools should just embrace that instead of hiding it away…

    This was my observation as well. Sheets is actually quite good, but what's missing is connectivity to other tools (e.g. your database). This is exactly the problem we're going afte…

    This has been my experience with internal tool builders too. The barrier to entry is quite high to try most of them and it's really hard to have a whole team test them out. This ad…

    Thought that was funny too. The company has been around since 2016 (originally called "dashdash") and Pipes shut down in 2015, so it'd make sense as the original pitch in 2016.

    Yes, Sheets is amazing already. It is missing integrations out of the box though which is where Rows is trying to win. I notice this problem a while back and built Wax ( https://ww…

    Comment #29173815

    Yeah, I had a similar idea to Rows, but decided it'd be better to add what's missing to Sheets vs. build an entirely separate app. Wax ( https://www.wax.run/ ) helps you build inte…
