@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.
@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.
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?
Hi Product Hunters, 👋
I'm glad to be here again.
More than a year ago, I released the first version of Sheetson that helped makers bootstrap new ideas without worrying about server setup and privacy by exposing Google Sheets data as RESTful APIs.
🚀 Since then, I have worked in multiple solutions to improve Sheetson and make it even more widely and freely available to developers. So, the new version now offers:
✅ API Key to enhance security to your data.
✅ Number and text search with compound criteria
✅ Ordering query results by multiple fields
✅ Nested JSON parsing for complex data structure
✅ Free version with 🎉 UNLIMITED requests and data
✅ Using own Google tokens is coming soon
🙏 Please give me your thoughts and feedback!
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.
