Show HN: Sheet2Site – Create Websites Out of Google Sheets

Hi HN,<p>I made a tool that can generate a website from Google Sheets. It using Google Sheet as a DB.<p>Examples of sites: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;best-cities-for-digital-nomads&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;best-cities-for-digital-nomads&#x2F;</a>, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;best-coffee-shops-for-work-in-canggu&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;best-coffee-shops-for-work-in-c...</a>, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;top-100-cryptocurrencies" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;top-100-cryptocurrencies</a>, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;darkmodelist.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;darkmodelist.com</a>

I love your idea. And there&#x27;s a huge market of individuals living on Excel that will pay you for doing this. Congrats!

FWIW, YC funded startup Cloud Stitch does something similar <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloudstitch.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cloudstitch.com&#x2F;</a>

Looks like HN broke your server ;) Looking forward to checking it out when you get it running.<p>Is there a service that can easily stress test your app? Like a &quot;TEST HN&quot; service? Would be nice to run a project through that before posting to HN.

Great work!<p>An alternative I have been using recently for some projects is Molnify [1], it has more focus on exposing calculation logic in the app created and less control over background images and layout. Takes either a Excel file or a google sheet doc as input.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.molnify.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.molnify.com&#x2F;</a>

I like the simplicity. Also, I&#x27;m assuming it&#x27;s not free, it would be nice to know what&#x27;s the price before signing up. Maybe you could just add some sort of a disclaimer, e.g. Generate &#x2F; Create new site (free up to 1k visitors&#x2F;month, $5 after). Good luck!

Reaffirming that Excel truly is the universal format for everything. Good work!

Too funny -- about a month ago I built a web site backed by a Google Sheet so that my father could easily update content. Great idea with Sheet2Site and good luck!

Nice work Andrey! Good luck with your $1000 MRR challenge.

This looks like a really cool idea.<p>What I noticed is that is somehow hard to understand how to create the page. ( Click here, then there, then copy paste, then click publish, etc... ). If this process was more it would be awesome.<p>Keep going the good work! I checked your $1k goal and wish you all the best in achieving it!

Typo on your homepage image;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;img&#x2F;tabs.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sheet2site.com&#x2F;img&#x2F;tabs.png</a><p>&quot;backgroung&quot;

Fun idea. I learned recently that Sheets also works as a JSON service to post and get data if you have a static site and don&#x27;t want to stand up a DB server.

Tried to access the site, but getting the error. Screenshot [1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ibb.co&#x2F;kYtL5H" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ibb.co&#x2F;kYtL5H</a>

Great idea! Any ideas for expansion? I imagine you could map rows&#x2F;columns to a bootstrap-like grid system for more custom layouts.

Can you explain the backend? When the spreadsheet is updated, is the generated website automatically updated?

Your copy:<p>They are working but I need to explain you how :)<p>could be improved to<p>They are working but I need to explain to you how to use it. :)

The site is down for me. HN Hug.

Awesome work Andrey!
