I'm actually building a product right now that will live entirely on Google Sheets.

Awesome, can you tell us more?

I'm building out "Idea Meritocracy" tools like those found in Principles(Dalio).

The Google Forms integration is really powerful for mobile input. And event triggers are great for managing what's inputted to the form.

Should be ready for beta release very shortly. Focus is on improving communications between small businesses and their customers. I thought about building out a standalone web app, but Google Sheets was easy enough for a MVP. Spreadsheets are generally well known and familiar enough for small business owners/operators to use so it could always live as a sheet.

There are a few competitors right now, but they lack a certain feature that I think is important.

Can share more when ready... aka when I've purchased the domain name so it doesn't get squatted.

So it's a CRM? Or a single CRM feature?

Does it use any proprietary or other APIs outside of the sheets scripts?

Ping me when it's ready for beta testers

No not a CRM. It's likely a feature in many CRMs though.

It uses an outside API and that's a big change from existing solutions. Sorry for being cryptic, but if I shared the API it would be obvious. I just want to put final touches on it before doing a Show HN. At that point it'll be obvious :)

Keen to see this. Can you please reply to this message when you share to HN?

Reading that book now and would be interested in hearing more about what you're doing. Coding your principles in a decision tree?

Skip to the Appendix and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Also, I'm managing the "5 Step Process to Get What You Want Out of Life" in the same spreadsheet.
