This looks great! I made a while back a library[1] to do this, but of course you still have to code on top of it (which is what I wanted). Your project makes it very easy for everyone to get started and not only those who know how to code, props on launching it.

Are you using Node.js? Would love some feedback on my lib since it seems we are doing the same thing for different user types!

I use Next.js, but the sheet is loaded client side :) My next iteration would switch to Cloud sheets API though.

That said, I wish I had stumbled upon your library when I first started out. It looks better designed than the one I initially used (which I promptly abandoned because it couldn't handle certain errors properly, and I decided to roll my own).


Thanks! I've been thinking of renaming it. Everyone who uses it loves it, but I have to first nag people into actually trying it and I think it's because it'd not very discoverable.

What names did you use to try to find it if you don't mind me asking?


I googled for javascript read google sheets. A few libraries showed up and I tried them. They weren't very polished so I wrote my own instead.


This looks great. Thanks for sharing.
