Show HN: Generate beautiful list sites from your spreadsheets

Pretty neat. I'm assuming you cache the results from the google sheet and update them when the google sheet is updated?

Another idea. Would be to have a "under maintenance" flag you could mark in the google sheet and then only the updates would happen on a secondary test site. When you are satisfied with the results you can change the flag to go live.

Thanks for the feedback.

The initial version did not cache indeed. On each request, the Google Sheet API was hit. I changed that with today's release and the sheet is cached (shared cache). To update the site, just append ?refresh=true to the URL.

I like your idea of a kind of staging system. Have to think about how to solve that.

I like the approach. This way even Generation Excel users can easily create and update the content of such directory sites.

Thanks. It's totally by intention. I believe tools should be as simple as possible and do one thing well.

useful! the maps are blank in the examples btw

Thanks. Seems to happen sometimes when Google Sheet isn't geolocating fast enough. Might remove the Google Script in the future.
