I started using it for the Android development community. Then for messaging.
Now only for bots 😔
I use Google sheets on my personal projects.
- tracking expenses
- tracking my ride logs from my ev
Google app script pickup email received from banks and update the transaction automatically. I modify it using web based form of needed.
The ev company has api. It will be called on periodic basis to get the ride details and update the sheets. I use telegram api to interact, by triggering the api webhook, getting charts, etc.,
Initially I setup OCR to extract the ride information, so the process was like
- send an image that has ride details to a telegram bot
- the bot saves the image in Google drive
- the image would be opened in docs
- the text would get extracted and stored in Google sheets as data
- edits can be done using telegram webapp
- sheets provide charts for analysis
- built a process using sheets to handle telegram bot for maintaining users, approvals, etc.,
It would be hard if I have used any other services… setting up OCR preparing charts etc.,
Try to add 100+ things to make it very big project, then dropped without even completing 10% of to-do list.
Eventually you get a better idea to start the same project from scratch, then drop it.
It’s kind of curse to live knowing what’s going to happen to our dear ones, but on the other way I could spend some extra time who is not with me now.
Earning $10mil will not be my motive if I am going to live this life again…
