Column Tools - a FOSS (&free) add-on for Google Sheets that adds missing functionality (e.g. horizontal sort, convert columns to named ranges). Google's increasingly onerous, specific, and ever-changing requirements for market place listings takes up too much time for a free project. I could try to monetize, but then I'm having to spend too much time in bureaucracy-land (between working out billing and complying with Google's requirements) rather than making good product. At least the source is there for anyone who wants to set up themselves.
- saadalem 7y agoCan you give tips about this ? I'm trying to build a Gmail add-on that works with Spreadsheet(contacts + headers to filter) and reverse chrono counting unread emails
- askvictor 7y agoTips about what specifically?
- saadalem 7y agoAbout working with Spreadsheet as database ? About running it automatically etc..
- askvictor 7y agoI used Google Scripts for everything. Can programmatically read and edit a Google Sheet easily enough; true DB queries are trickier. Running is based on triggers you can set up for a script; or I think a script can programmatically set them up. Look up the Google Developer site; it's a good resource.
- saadalem 7y agoOk thank you, so the google server is always running and fetching, this is actually something good ! TY

This is the same experience for mobile apps too, ESPECIALLY Android apps on the Google Play Store. Good luck if you think you'll increase visibility on other android app stores, its just more requirements.
