Err.. so there are only 3 widget types right now? This looks like a neat idea. More widgets needed.

But i am not a UI or front-end guy. Am i mis-understanding? Are users supposed to design our own widgets?

Getting a video error when I try to watch. Does this let me display certain spreadsheet cells or arrays as say, an Android widget?

I've been looking for something that lets me do that in a manner that offers solid privacy and security. Of the solutions I've seen in the app store, I'm not sure I feel convinced about those aspects of them.

I wish Google would release a native Sheets Android widget.

Great idea and clean demo.

Do you know what some of your customers are doing with this in the real world.

That looks fantastic! Have been looking for a way to embed a roadmap into my app while keeping the data disconnected from it in a frictionless way.

Wonder if there could be a way to two-way-bind so that users can actually make changes to the data when displayed as a table.
