No event?

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

There is no new and upcoming event is scheduled for the moment, which is sad.

https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Events/eb-p/appsheet-events?depth=0&byPassHideMessagesFromListFilter=true&sort_by=occasionStartTime

There should be tons of new subjects we app creators wish to know, for instance

  • AppSheet database - overall reviews to learn how it will improve the efficiencies
  • New editor layour reviews
  • New desktop UX
  • Apps script returning values (more detailed and useful use cases)
  • Integration with Loocker Studio

It could be a weekly event, as AppSheet team is nicely pushing new features evey single moment, I wish to expect the event organized by AppSheet teams will become more freqent and active as it used to be before.

I think, with Google taking over, as Devs we should consider organising something ourselves. I know there was the slack channel for a while and @MultiTech is doing some AWESOME live videos on the latest stuff. But I think to get what we want/need, we need to decide what that is and do it ourselves.

Maybe we could start out with a once per month Google Meet of all the Appshee Jediā€™s to share ideas, maybe even share work? Since I know there are guys out there that are better than me at GAS, HTML templates, Appsheet API to name just some. Iā€™d be happy to outsource these rather than kill myself trying to learn a whole new topic Iā€™m gonna use just once. Not sure how I can help you guys, but I must be above average at something :laughing:

Iā€™ve mentioned this beforeā€¦ When ran my IT Support business for 10+ years ,we used a tool called connectwise to do the sales/CRM/invoicing/ticketing etc. They held user group meetings 2-3 times per year in about 5 locations around the globe. This was the ā€˜olden daysā€™ (mid 00ā€™s :rofl: ) when you had to travel to actual seminars. After going a few times I realised there was only 2 reasons that made it worthwhile going

  1. To find out all the bits of ConnectWise that didnā€™t work. Since you could spend days trying to get something to work that was never going to work
  2. To talk with other people in the same industry to find out:
    • What where they charging?
    • What services did they offer / what was selling and what wasnā€™t?
    • What tools/techniques/suppliers did they find useful?

Maybe we should do something along those lines? Personally Iā€™d be happy for @MultiTech to use any comments, video etc generated in his Youtube channel. As that could only serve to promote us all.

Anyway, just a thought / braindump. Please comment below

@MultiTech is the most valueble user imo here. More than any google staff. It would be nice if google set him as a COO of Appsheet.

@1minManager Iā€™ve been thinking for a while that we should make content as a group of AppSheet devs and @MultiTech 's channel seems like the best option. We could even have our own YT Channel just for weekly or monthly podcasts or something like that so that people thatā€™s entering the AppSheet world can get a review of the features or at least have an idea of what they are able to do before they start playing with the editor and more.

@MultiTech , you could have a weekly ā€œconversationalā€ stream aside the one you have on fridays where there are AppSheet Devs wanting to share opinions and more.

Iā€™d like to have an unofficial community where we can share whatever we want and organize events based on our real needs

I am humbled by your kind words; thank you @diogolupcosta :beating_heart:

To be honest, Iā€™ve always dreamed about AppSheetInsider.com being something along these lines.

  • Iā€™ve wanted to do something with that domain for awhile now, just not sure whatā€¦
  • I thought it would be a great place where anyone could create their own posts about things.
  • Where the content was driven by the community (like it is here) - but curated by knowledgeable folk
  • People could create how-to guidesā€¦ and maybe sell them if they wanted?
  • Where we could have monthly (weekly?) podcasts
  • Articles about new features, news about whatā€™s going on, articles on other platforms (Zapier, Make, QuickChart, OpenAi, GAS, G-Sheets, etc) that integrate nicely with AppSheet apps

Basically like a curated knowledge center for advanced AppSheet stuff, maintained by anyone whoā€™s willing to put in the time.

Iā€™m not interested in making money on this (enough to pay for itself would be nice).

I dunnoā€¦ maybe THAT could be the place for this?

Sure, and if it runs on Discourse, even better :grin:

Iā€™m good with this idea. Iā€™m happy with making no money out of this as well. I think as a Devs we are all busy enough and thereā€™s plenty of work to go around. Also that just by visibly being part of this weā€™ll generate more work for each other.
