In plain words

Sheetsu converts Google Spreadsheets into APIs, allowing developers to use spreadsheets as a backend database. It's designed for startups and small teams who want to build applications without setting up traditional servers. The service leverages Google Drive for hosting, making it accessible to users already familiar with Google's ecosystem. This tool is particularly useful for rapid prototyping and projects with simple data storage needs.

    Hello everyone! At a company I worked for, we needed to develop an MVP (basically a web page) and apply certain business logic to a Google Drive spreadsheet that was frequently updated by the Sales team.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
