Summary


If we consider Google Apps Script as a toolbox with plenty of different tools, the tools we introduced in this chapter are probably the most powerful and useful.

There will indeed be many occasions when we may want to execute some simple (or not) tasks without using a full-featured spreadsheet: standalone web apps are the solution. Since they can easily be shared across offices or with other users, they also present us with a good way to preserve our privacy.

It might seem a bit complicated, but after a short while, we get pretty familiar with their structure and simple apps take only a few minutes to write.

Now that we understand this new possibility, why not try to integrate UIs in other documents? That will be the focus of the next chapter.
