Hey all,
So I am working on this project of mine that TLDR is Google Sheets to GraphQL.
There are some similar projects, but most of them are simpler and are offering REST only.
I believe that Google Docs and spreadsheets in general could work great as a "CMS" for smaller projects.
My current status is that I have working MVP: https://swapi.cellql.app, this is using data from SW API copied to this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DjVwS4r2Iugr9SJCGSNHqpmtBoKIWLlkF7CPzTeJ3t4/edit?usp=sharing
Mutations are disabled, they are not doing anything on this demo. Pls ignore.
You can run some demo query, for test:
{
getAllPeople {
name
species {
id
name
}
homeworld {
id
name
terrain
}
films {
title
}
}
}
I was working on this project on and off and not sure if I should continue... I believe my target audience would be frontend developers, as when they are building new site they freedom to choose/advise what CMS/system to use.
I would be grateful for any comments / advise etc. If this looks cool to you - pls let me know I might need testers soon.
Yes. Keep working on it.
Thank you.
Hi,
I think you're on the right track and it's a great idea. We at Moxly made it possible to integrate with Google Sheets for use in mobile applications. We see demand from our users.
Keep working with it
Thanks, that's useful feedback.
