In plain words

Softr for Google Sheets enables users to convert spreadsheets into custom applications without coding.

From the sources

Today we are excited to announce a new data source integration in Softr: Google Sheets. You can now turn your spreadsheets into powerful and beautiful custom software - portals, internal tools, and more, just like what you have been able to do with Airtable.

Transform your Google Sheets into portals, dashboards, and custom tools. Connect and sync data in real time with Softr.

Turn your Google Sheets data into custom apps, dashboards, and client portals—no coding required. Link your Google Sheets to Softr in seconds. Any updates you make in Google Sheets instantly reflect in your Softr app, and vice versa. Combine Sheets with 15+ other data sources in one app to keep everything connected. Instead of sharing full spreadsheets, decide exactly what each user can view or update. Use granular permissions to protect sensitive information and build secure client or team experiences—no more full-access links. Use drag-and-drop blocks like Lists, Charts, and Tables to create white-labeled portals, CRMs, trackers, and more. Customize layouts, add buttons and automations,…from softr.io

    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…
