Curious if your tech works with a CSV file. Did you ever consider it? What will it take given your current stack? How google docs dependent are you? Are you okay with google buying/cloning you out if it comes to that?

#69This is an extremely risky business. It’s a simple concept - Google Sheets API to Firebase to App that we’ve used many times before, however Apple may decide to block these apps at any time as it has done in the past, eg see this article: https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/20/apple-revises-its-controve...

Thank you! We actually started with JSON! It is trivial for us to support CSV and we are not tied to Google Sheets—we plan to add more data sources.
