“It’s exciting for three reasons – it’s Google which makes collaboration easier, it’s incredibly flexible, and you can build things with it. Find a use case for yourself – it will most likely be possible. Think of a workflow or process. Think of each step it takes. Then Google it. Chances are, there’s already a Google Sheets solution for that. Build from there. There are hundreds of ways for making Sheets work for you. Who knows, you might even be able to turn that into a fully-fledged SaaS!” — Jan Suski, Content & Outreach Specialist at Chilli Fruit Web Consulting
