Nice! Spreadsheets have a lot of advantages over coding your own website, especially for people that don’t have the skills.

I made an app called https://Sheet2Site.com which takes your spreadsheet of items/objects and translates it into an app, with filters.

Wait so what exactly is it?

Components of different types, corresponding to rows of different schemas? Where first column says the type? Or is it one sheet per type of object?

And then you import them? And have a page with a bunch of components with data from the sheet?
