For quick CRUD apps, where a spreadsheet is your admin panel I recommend Sheetsu.com (I'm founder). You get REST API, from your spreadsheet. What you do with it is up to you.

We see a huge peak with agencies and freelancers using our service, just to avoid building admin panels for a client. Easy, clean & simple.

It took me 9 months. In two weeks I'm quoting a day job. I hit $2k MRR (after expenses) and finished contracting. I'm planning to use the runaway money from contracting at the beginning.

For me, the worst thing is siting at the office, doing job for someone else and not being able to care about my project and customers. Doing it full time is a huge relief.

WhatsApp, if you want to make your platform for business, just open your API.

Same here!

Thanks. It never occurred to me that it might be a Parse replacement. I need to improve it a little bit and it might do the job.

No, I'm not planning to sell https://sheetsu.com, no worries. It's not worth that much yet. I'm just curious if solopreneurs are selling their companies and if yes, how did they do it. Or if they keep it and profit.

P.S. I'm eager to talk about your use cases for the coming months. You can find my email on the website mentioned above.

Does anyone with single-person company have sold it and can share experience?

It relly depends on how high you go in the Show HN.

In October '15, I posted https://sheetsu.com to Show HN, starting with $5 DigitalOcean server (512MB RAM, 1 core). Before it popped out to the first page, server died, so I have to resize it to handle the traffic.

During the peak, I've 316 users online. [1] You have to know, that if you do well on the Show HN, probably somebody will repost it, share a link, etc. So it's not only traffic from the HN itself.

I was for the whole day on the first page, in the top position. On that day I get 9,812 new sessions. Overall, from the Show HN only (referrer was HN) I get 12,715 sessions that week. [2]

How is it possible that this header is misspelled? Is there any interesting story behind it?

Yes. Each document is separate API. Paid plans support multiple sheets/tabs. Also, on the paid plan you've got bigger quota of available APIs/Sheets you can create and number of hits you can perform to each API.

I started monetizing https://sheetsu.com two months ago. It's profitable right now. I'm the only one involved, wearer of many hats. I'm opening my Baremetrics.com dashboard soon to be transparent.

It's from MS, yuck! I'm not the fan of their products.

It's still so expensive?

I have no idea about the hardware costs, especially GPU. Could anyone, please, provide some example costs for that? Like how much for XYZ GPU cluster per hour and example thing that XYZ GPU cluster can perform in an hour.

Correct me, if I'm getting it wrong or such example is hard to provide.

Count me in!

https://sheetsu.com can be used as a simple DB (spreadsheet as a DB). It provides whole CRUD, auth, permissions (more here https://sheetsu.com/docs/beta) and is super simple in setup. I'm founder.

It's someway similar. The difference is that Sheetsu.com use Google Spreadsheet as a storage.

Hi, sheetsu.com creator here. If you are looking for an Excel as DB for your front-end give it a try. Paste link to your Google Spreadsheet and then you get an URL to the API. You can CRUD your Spreadsheet using that API.

This is so true! Awesome (and sad)!

I love coding. I'm open to different types of opportunities and setups, whether full time or contract, part time or full time. I feel really good in the start-up environment. I'm honest and reliable.

You don't have to implement Google API or use any lib to talk with it. Just paste link and get API end-point with docs, which is easier to use. Much more easier than creating your app at Google Console, connecting with it, etc. Especially if you are not a programmer.

It's easier.

I've got submited to Product Hunt[1].

This'll be fixed soon!

Yes, it's. - PUT/DELETE - CORS - more sheets in the same workbook - access for only one file in the Google Drive - private APIs

Hahaha :) It was supposed to sound like Shih Tzu, breed of dog - http://jp12.r0tt.com/l_d67efae0-58bd-11e2-baa5-afb676b00012....

Already added to the to do list. Thanks for noticing it.

That's a great use case!

Right now it's for all. I'm actually fixing it right now, to be access only for the one specific file.

Yes, it could be done. I'll implement that feature.
