There is (1) Good news (2) HUGE news and (3) Bad news!

The good news is: Mark and I have made a TW plugin to import from Google Sheets. Every row becomes a tiddler!

The HUGE news is that this is the linchpin, the kingpin, the Rosetta Stone, to turn pretty much anything into tiddlers because Google Sheets can be made to import data from other services such as your Google Drive, your Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, your GCalendar, stock charts and hundreds (thousands?) of more services. Whatever you want as tiddlers, you can get it. OK, almost.

The bad news is: The SheetsIN plugin is only HALF of the solution! We need a SheetsOUT plugin to get tiddlers into Google Sheets. If this were possible, Google Sheets can then be used as a full backend for TW... and tiddlers can be sent as email, tweets, calendar events, etc etc.

So, if you have knowledge about how to "export to Google Sheets" do please shout out.

Thus, Mark S and I proudly give thee the first half of the TiddlyGoo suite ;-)

We also hope people will share their Google scripts (!) that connect Google Sheets with other services. This is only indirectly a TW matter but will benefit us all. I will soon share a script that imports file data from Drive to Sheets so you easily show images stored on Drive in TW.

Huge is not a big enough word for how enormously fantastic this achievement is. (Sorry I got busy elsewhere, Mat/Mark, but customer/Covid needs were pressing).
