Shall I continue building it? Any Google Sheet fans?

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.

    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
