I'd noticed this purchase with interest too. Could be more work for us devs. I get a bit of work adding extra bells and whistles to the data entered via the AppSheet app UI.

I think it will actually create more opportunities for employment. As with Steve presenting training conferences, and Andrew adding some extras to the app. What AppsSheet does, is increase the number of apps and code being created, as opposed to lots of business creating no apps at all. It's kind of like, you need a lot more mechanics if everyone can afford a car. If only the rich can afford a car, then there aren't going to be many car mechanic jobs. So, I think that AppSheet is filling a need, which increases the number of apps. Some of those apps will crash, and they'll need the equivalent of an auto body technician to repair the damage. This is part of the evolution of the computing industry.

As a regular Appsheet+apps script user, I have found a place for both. Appsheet is great for rapidly prototype data based apps (like from sheets). In 10’ almost anyone can have a functional app running that you can iterate on. From that point you can either (1) use it as is, (2) add back-end intelligence and automation using apps script (like i often do), or (3) are-build the app on an alternative platform that might scale better or have deeper features. For me, the difference is in the “ideation” stages. Do I need an iOS developer to understand the capabilities need, or can identify capabilities needed in a more technology agnostic way. In most cases, “real programmers”, and certainly people with data and information architecture understanding, will be needed to scale or refine it - even if it stays “no-code”. No-code does not mean no information architecture needed (table and data relationships still required). There is no right or wrong. It’s just a great tool for the right use cases. Just my thoughts ...

My little downtime project this year is to use #GoogleAppsScript to send some personalised images extending the G Suite based bulk email solution I shared earlier in the year... #GSuiteDevs https://t.co/mTHKQsULxT

Dear Administrator,
We’re writing to let you know that due to low usage, the App Maker product will be shut down on January 19, 2021. Google Cloud will continue to invest in providing customers with best-in-class solutions in the low-code/no-code space. While we regret the inconvenience this may cause, we’re committed to helping your organization navigate this change.
