   The sheet is retrieved client-side, so yes, you should see the new updates when you refresh the webpage.

   Thank you! I have yet to use the Cloud GSheets API; there's a much simpler approach, but it requires the user to publish their sheet on the web. I'm definitely working on GSheets API integration so users would not have to publish

   Pardon the long links, this is something I'll address in the next iteration. Product Catalog: https://sheetui.com/view/grid/image-tile/1F92PXwyE5CTjkT-Sin... Pokemons: https://sheetui.com&#x2F

   Got it akdarrah! Thanks for letting me know about Liquid and your wonderful product!

   It's the complete opposite of what SheetUI hopes to achieve, but this is such an interesting use case I'll think more about it :) I can see how there might be a legitimately strong demand for it. Feel free to connect with me (tjch

   There was one other comment that mentioned the same thing. I'll look into this. How can I chat with you further about this? My email's tjchear at gmail if you want to reach out.

   I implemented the parsing part! This is the first I've heard of Liquid though. When SheetUI has gained sufficient traction that people need advanced Liquid support, I'll look to your product for that :) There is no price quoted on

   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.

   Got it! I bolded the text. Also added one for Article Curation. Thank you for your advice and suggestion!

    This is an interesting use case (the delegation of subdomain). Sounds like something that can be built atop Amazon Route 53. Have you seen this need come up a lot?

    Ooh, yes. I can see how this could be something that is sorely needed. Added to my list of feature exploration!

    SheetUI is built using Material UI, which I'm still getting the hang of. It certainly has support for parameterized themes. As for custom CSS, I'm going to have to look into how to do that technically while making sure there'

    This is the sort of thing that makes perfect sense in retrospect but I never thought about. Thanks for the tip!

    What you just described is essentially a scraper/crawler right? Would scraping them into a sheet you own be sufficient for your use case?

    It's definitely crossed my mind (and others as well). But as long as it conveys the idea, I'm fine with it :)

    I added one so far (Product Catalog), you can click on it in the use case section. More to come :)

    Yes, definitely. I'm hard at work building Google Sheets API integration, so you wouldn't have to make your sheet public. DM me (@tjchear on Twitter) or email me to discuss your use case.

    Precisely! A lot of folks have already built their businesses and processes atop Google Sheets, so it seems a no-brainer to me that any SaaS dealing with data should have a way to bootstrap from that.

    I can see a need for this. I'll look into it!

    For now, yes. I'm hard at work building Google Sheets API integration so you won't have to make your sheet public.

    FYI to folks who are trying it out now - on step 3, you'll have to click on an element on the preview UI so you could customize it. You can customize it to show a particular column by clicking the + button. Without customization, the r

    Thank you! I was never good at doing landing pages so this comment means a lot to me.

    It's a Chrome extension called Screen Recorder. Very nifty! I've used it for my other projects and I'm happy with it. Only downside is it generates webm only - I had to put it through an encoder.

    by tjchear 6y ago

    Yeah definitely! They generate an entire site complete with beautiful template and search functionalities. Really amazing work. My niche is smaller in comparison - SheetUI generates a single webpage for each sheet. That said, generating a c

    Ah yes. SheetUI turns a spreadsheet into a simple but pleasing web page, while Glide turns them into an app. That said, adding interactivity, crud capabilities, and just generally making a web app out of it is definitely part of my feature

    That is definitely possible. I can make some changes to generate an iframe embed code. Email or DM me on Twitter (@tjchear) if you want something customized :)

    I never thought about this use case! I'll note this down and include it as part of the use case section :) Thanks for the idea!

    Oh this is a good idea! Let me do that.
