Hey!
So this time I'm planning to release the project in a bit different way: to share the steps of my journey here, with you.
What am I building and why?
Do you know those people who live in Excel? Have a Google Docs for everything? I do. I saw a big business - a bookstore keeping all stock data in a spreadsheet. I saw IAM policies for a big company being designed in Excel.
Let's face it - spreadsheet is a database. Simple, but convenient database.
Why not use it as an "CMS" for your website/app/you-name-it. You can also collect data and store them in Google Sheet via mutation.
There is a lot of people that loves using spreadsheets and learning curve is next to zero.
That is why I'm building CellQL - a tool that will convert your Google Spreadsheet to fully working GraphQL endpoint: including mutations (in progress), including relations and allowing you to limit access via key auth (also in progress).
How does it look? How does it work?
Demo is available here: https://sw.cellql.com
It is taking data from this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DjVwS4r2Iugr9SJCGSNHqpmtBoKIWLlkF7CPzTeJ3t4/edit?usp=sharing
I would be super grateful if you would have a look, share your thoughts and maybe would be interested to test it?
Any questions - happy to answer!
