About
SheetSandbox allows developers to use Google Sheets as a production-ready database by automatically generating REST APIs for their spreadsheets. It supports creating APIs for waitlists, feedback forms, and other data collection needs without requiring a backend infrastructure. The platform provides Node.js and Python SDKs for integration, along with an AI-powered feature to generate forms from plain English descriptions that write directly to the connected sheet. It is designed for rapid prototyping and lean MVPs, offering a one-time payment for lifetime access.
