I sell digital courses and one thing we do for our customers is display vimeo replays of weekly group check-in recordings. I store a list of my videos in a spreadsheet and that list gets displayed as HTML in my video recap page 🎥.
I use zapier and a little bubble.io app I made to take the spreadsheet contents and display it as HTML in my page. If you've ever heard of tools like Sheet2Site or SpreadSimple, this is very similar to what they do. The only problem is those tools are focused on generating a site for you, so you don't really get any WYSIWYG or designer for how you want your tables to look—so my use case of showing video thumbnails won't work for most of those tools.
I also used this tool to display upcoming dates for webinars (pulled from a spreadsheet) so participants can choose which date works best for them.
One other use case is for a non-profit I work with—I maintain their job board. So I used this tool to display jobs from a spreadsheet on the non-profit site.
I want to open this tool up more, but want to know if there would be any interest. I'm struggling to find more use cases so I think it's possible this is just a unique little tool that won't benefit many others besides me. Can I get your thoughts?
Have you checked out Softr.io - it lets you create custom web-apps and websites from Airtable? We have a similar template to what you did with bubble - https://startup-academy.softr.io/, would love to hear what you think!
I think this idea is so good I started building it a month ago!😅 I am building sheetform.io a Google Sheet to embeddable calculator form which takes the exact design of the spreadsheet and hosts it as a calculator form.
This so far does not use any WYSIWYG editor that I created. You just user the power of Google Sheets to change the design in anyway you like.
