Sam, one of the creators here. Spreadsheets are still the most flexible software creation tool in existence. Excel and now Google Sheets allow millions of non developers to produce software within their workbooks. However while spreadsheets are great experiences for authoring tools, they aren't so easy for your users.<p>Toga allows you to create apps from your Google Sheets so you can provide an easy interface for your team (or even your customers and partners) to access, edit and create data. Permissions are integrated to you can limit by the sheet, column and row.<p>I'd love to hear what you think!
Congrats on launching! Have you heard of Glide: <a href="https://www.glideapps.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.glideapps.com/</a>? How are you thinking of differentiating yourself from them and others?
Am I missing something? I used to run a fairly large landscaping company with a partner out of gSheets so I was excited when I saw this. But at the moment this just seems like a wrapper that takes away most of the useful functionality of a spreadsheet. I could see something like this being great if it had integrations with payroll, accounting, etc software but it currently seems far too basic to be usable.
This is great. This is basically Airtable, but a more dummy-proof interface. I wish the landing page showed more screenshots of the admin interface, the config steps I need to go through to generate a Toga app.
I've seen before AppSheet [1] acquired by Google, however, it seems that it supports just mobile apps<p>Your solution looks interesting, especially if it has an easy to use interface like bubble [2] to create the website and also mobile app<p>[1] <a href="https://www.appsheet.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.appsheet.com</a>

Hi<p>What is the pricing?<p>Without it I cannot suggest it to my deep pocketed enterprise clients, and I cannot ever consider for my own bootstrapped, very very shallow pocketed, projects.
If you are looking for more advanced apps for complex use cases as opposed to simple single table/sheet data then Axonator.com is a great choice. It allows you to collect more rich data like pictures with annotations, conditional logic, custom backend business logic, drag and drop form builder. Data can go directly into spreadsheets or any databases/APIs. Axonator is different because it allows your to model complex relationships between data tables. With its UI first approach, no knowledge of data modeling is required. It spits out native high performance IOS and Android apps without the hassle of coding. Enterprise are using this tool for quality inspections, surveys and automatically generate PDF reports and display the collected data in the form of insightful dashboards.
cool! this can be really good for creating internal company or customer portals similar to the glide. it's always a pain to onboard new teammates or users to built out google sheets the logic/thinking is obscured and hard to learn.
