GAS is a great way to manipulate various Gmail, Sheets and Docs data but it’s a pain to use and debug. Make this 10X easier. The user of your product should be able to start writing Python to manipulate Google Sheets within seconds.
Quantifying productivity is an incredibly important and underrated problem. One bad metric for software is TLOC. Assuredly we can do better! There are millions of pull requests online. Millions of comments. So much to train on.
Current workflow: write text, get feedback, copy text, paste text in codebase, deploy text. That’s broken. Have one source of record in the original document. Using your framework, I should be able to instantly link a Google Doc to a static page.
Develop a partial agonist like Chantix, or a drug that gives you a headache when you consume sugar. If you could give that to adults, the feedback loop will correct itself. Might be the laziest way to fix obesity.
Culture surveys are a huge market but they capture users at the wrong moment. Sell a Chrome plugin that surveys employees every time they open a new tab. Lightweight, frictionless measurement. Publish global leaderboards on the “happiest companies."
We frequently send emails where the replies ("yes I can make it!") are collected into a spreadsheet. With your service, you can CC [email protected] and have the replies collected into a Google Sheet. Frictionless to get started. No sign-up required.
Most people don’t need this, but a few high-end customers (venture capitalists, bankers, executives) do. Make a really nice iPhone app to help these people stay in touch with their network. Don’t require Gmail OAuth access in order to get started.
