Need advice on building MVP web service using front-end form, spreadsheet and email

Hi all,

I’m looking to build a simple web service. Would like to seek advice on the tools I can use to build it. I joined Indie Hackers a few months ago and this is absolutely my favourite and the most useful community I’ve came across. I’ve been reading up quite a lot of posts on Indie Hackers and this is the first post I’ve created here.

The below outlines what I have in mind in creating the MVP

1. A front-end form which users can input variables such as age, numbers, etc (Google Form, Typeform?)

2. The data input are stored in a spreadsheet in specific cells, such that the inputs are crunched based on existing formulas (Google Sheets?) in the spreadsheet. Will need a new spreadsheet created for each new user who use the form since the data input from each user will be different

3. Specific outputs based on the crunched numbers will then be emailed to the user on a monthly basis

4. Ideally, the email template can be customised to look somewhat presentable - specific outputs from the spreadsheet look presentable – perhaps similar to Google Adwords update emails which they send weekly

5. There needs to be a way for the user to login through the front-end or a link allowing users to edit the inputs through the front-end form

6. Not sure if everything needs to be sewn up together and automated with something like Zapier
   Not sure if what I described above needs a fair bit of coding knowledge. If so, do advice on which language and I’ll be happy to try and bury my head in the books to learn it!

Thanks a million!
