I don't think your "how it works" explanation doesn't do it justice.I would explain how you go from spreadsheet to API and add case studies of cool stuff that can be accomplished with it.
Nice! My big question is: if I set-up my app with Sheetson. And in ~6 months you close or sell the project. How can you solve this?
@bernardocastro Really good question 👏
Let me answer the worst case scenario first, which is I close Sheetson. This is worst case for any business, but when this happened there're possible ways forward:
- I would release source code of Sheetson so that you could host it yourself
- I would help you migrate to another service. If you notice in documentation, the API is designed to be compatible with MongoDB query, so can easily switch if you felt insecure.
For the other part, Sheetson is the base for my current and upcoming products, so there's near zero chance I would sell it. But, if this happened, your app would still be functional as no one should buy a profitable business then shut it down. If you ever wanted to go away, you can always do (see my answer for other part)
Hope this clarify your doubt about Sheetson's future.
It sounds interesting, but the links in the navbar and footer aren't working. Because of that, I can't reach the docs.
@kaurp1 Thanks for asking.
1. Sheetsu is expensive. You should be charged for extra features, not by the ones already offered by Google. This is also the problem with other competitors as well.
2. You don't need to share your file publicly, which is a extremely high security risk.
3. The setup is easy. The API design is universal that doesn't need a unique URL to access.
4. Advanced filters which can help you get exact data you need.
Hope this could clarify your question.
I need a better example how this work on the other end. I get using GS as a database but how doe the rest connect (api & code). Do your have any videos showing and example preocess?
@pixelaidmix I've added some examples so you can view source code to see how it works. I'll add detailed explanation soon.
