This is great, congrats on the launch! I've noticed a lot of products recently that attempt to solve this.
Got any examples of such products? I'd love to learn from them, and hopefully find my own niche :)

#82Love the execution of your idea. Having played with google sheet too (using it as my storage for https://nooze.world actually) and having followed sheet2site story, I am left wondering if there is still money to make for services like this in 2020.
There is always room for improvement! For now, SheetUI doesn't do the same thing as Sheet2Site (they generate an entire website, whereas SheetUI generates only single web page per sheet).
Considering how many people across so many industries use Google Sheets as part of their processes, I'm convinced there is some money to be made.

Just a few that came up on my Google search (basically, most are turning various sheets into something else!):

#85Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't think so. I just need to procure an API key and some credentials from Cloud Console to begin using Sheet API. The rest is just a lot more backend development for me.
Right, but won't you need permissions to access data in user accounts? You can only get permissions with a Google audit (which you have to pay for).
No, the easiest way is to use a service account and share the sheet with the service account. No need for user OAuth at all.

#86I guess I could put blog entries into a google sheet and publish them with this.

You might be mixing up access to GMail APIs with general access to Google APIs? Reading people's emails comes with tons of red tape, other things not so much.

Thanks! These products are great (I can see myself using a couple of them). I think when we look across all industries that use spreadsheets, we'll find a market that's so big that any player can find their own profitable niche. I hope to find mine.

#90This is awesome. Congratulations, and best of luck. I played around with the product little bit and it looks really nice.
