I'm just seeing random cells with "hi" all over them. This is why we can't have nice things.

It was nice when they were doing queen in the title.

Heh, you might be right :)

I'm sorry that became a mess instantly. I hope you remake it on a different platform (csv on github.) It looked useful for a moment there.

Looks ok again.

Turns out "anyone can edit" also meant anyone could mess with the sharing settings. So I've made it read only, which is a pity. Will investigate alternative hosting arrangements that might support pull requests at some point...

That didn't last long.

Well, the spreadsheet is for "hackers".

I think you'd be better off with a git repo, then you can review pull requests for data, instead of a public spreadsheet that is editable by anyone.

Sheets doesn't really have a "request to modify" system (that I know of).

Which is what stopped me from using them for some serious crowdsourced data projects in the past. This was a sheet I had lying around anyway and thought others might find useful :)

Might be nice to have someone define a clean 1:1 mapping between a google sheet/airtable and a git repo...

Github can already render views of csv data - not quite what you're saying but I think it would be good enough for these purposes.

just click the last edited tag and go to a previous version
