AppSheet Office Hours: Updates and tips using the App Editor, Chat Apps, and AppSheet Databases

After all, I would say gently that I learned NIL out of this webiner (watching archive) at the end. I m sorry, I m not harting anyone in Google, but this is out of my pure opinions.

nigh nigh everyone here in this community, I will zip my mouse again.  Probably my posts will be possibly deleted by google, but it is fine.

I can understand your feelings @Koichi_Tsuji . You have witnessed how AppSheet have evolved. Right now no one in google have the authority or correct representative who can represent and address the concerns of Users/Developers in this community. It is very sad to witness. Not just now. Its been happening all over the Community and AppSheet for past couple of months. 

Thanks for your comments.

Yes.

I know the history of AppShee for the last 5-6 years, even though I m not employed.

However the recent situation like such as seminor, suppor quality are major concerns of mine.

It is their fault (Google) but they may kill the services, as they could not get support largely. 

It is happening across the broarch with Google services.  I simply m afraid it will be the case for the future of Appsheet. 

Im happy with turning up with webiner as a guest to tell stories. Bu i ve never inviated. Probaly I m speaking too much loud. But again I never mind. Leave things to google in terms of how to direct us. 

If they could not get the support from usres,. naturally killed by Google, stuffs should happen. Why? Google does  not knows the their own platform. Again, this thresd should be deleted.

Before Google, AppSheet hosted webinar. It was exciting. People asked questions whi are answered straightaway.

The nightmere (possibly all the Google services userrs are afraid) are when they immediately to kill their services including AppSheet.

Recent case is like this.

Dear Administrator,

We’re writing to remind you that as we announced in February 2022, Currents will no longer be available starting July 5, 2023. As part of this, data from Currents will be deleted.

What does this mean for my organization?

Since your organization did not opt into the migration, your data will not be migrated from Currents to Spaces. You may continue using Currents until the product shutdown begins on July 5, 2023.

What do I need to do?

If you’d like to preserve your organization’s Currents and Google+ data, export it from the Admin console before July 5, 2023. Otherwise, it will be deleted.

We’re here to help

If you have questions or need assistance, please review the change management guide for more information.

Thanks for choosing Google Workspace.

Im not Google personnel, so it is impossible to answer to he question.

All the people knows, Google acquires new services. Then at the end, they kill.

Then from  our customer, they ask question if or not if is a case with AppSheet?

We zip our mouse, as we understand their concerns, and we are no platformer.

The problem with us ..... They ask if or not the case is now with AppSheet? But we are no right peson to answer to the question.

However, veiwing the community as well as webinar today, i havve incresed concerns that it will be a case.

As Google not listening to our volice.

Then as a result, their services are not supported (due to their own failure)., then, Goolgle ritch management kill the services at the e nd. Again KILLED BY GOOOGLE will hapen. 

@Koichi_Tsuji  https://medium.com/@pravse/the-maze-is-in-the-mouse-980c57cfd61a Here is a must read 

I hope this day doesn’t come.

I m happy Google mediator to delete my thead.  Im happy with it. But the reason why I posted such a strong messages is to ask them to review their process.

Service desk + hopelesss.

Webinar + No excitement 

I just wish probably I m not right.

I don't think your thread would be deleted Koichi. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Hey there, there's a lot to process on your response. But allow me to share some thoughts.

1. You are correct, there's always a painful moment where the docs and some of the materials out there become out of sync with the product being updated. This is unfortunately a problem with all software, not all content created is owned by us and there's a lot of content to update, bit by bit it will get updated and with partners like you Koichi, this is also why we launch these features in Preview so there's a time between the preview timeframe and general availability to update materials you deem necessary to update.

2. Thank you for your opinion Koichi. Maybe I consumed Rachel's presentation differently but it starts with Why chat apps make sense. This is how I processed the presentation. The idea of supporting chat apps is for application creators to have more surfaces where their users can interact with their apps. The idea is to keep users where they can be more productive. Some users may not need chat apps, some users will primarily use chat apps. So it's all about making the platform available where users are.

3. Thank you for this feedback as well! There are benefits in performance with AppSheet DB and also in terms of data modeling, most users don't have access to a true data base builder and this solution can facilitate apps with better data management that don't rely exclusively on sheets. 

Finally, on the questions. Maybe I saw a different thing Koichi but I see the team answering questions posted in chat and also pre-submitted questions. Over 2300 people have watched the video and at least 12 minutes of the 1 hour video was dedicated to questions. 

Is maybe your idea a more open Q&A session like we used to do years ago? I don't know if there's only one way to do these or if we can only do one type of office hours sessions, but I do see questions being asked and answered. 

I just deliver my own frastrations through my previous thread. No intenttion to dicuss with anyone, including you.  

The recent Google services over Appsheet is nightmere, that is true.

You believe it or not, I dont care. But if you do not, then the end of Appsheet/Google is getting closer to us.

Chat app. Probably nobody will use it. You say SOME will use it. Then my question will be WHO.  

IF you rightly answer to this question, then it is obvious that Google is just focus on the selected (enterprise) customers alone while G will leave other 99 percent cutomers alone and behind, but it is not a problem new chat app will have any use cases, like other features, scanning inv,  other intelligent features....

Please dont respond to this thread, as i m not happy to contine to talk for dialogues which will not provide any solution.

"Google will say we are on the right track, the customer is supporting us! " even after hearing the claims from us..... 

silly, then the only option we have is to zip our mouth. There is nobody to listen our voice locally and globally, as Google is always priorititzing owns, rather than listenig to the cutomer voices. 

In terms of looking back the history, this is the problem all the KILLED BY GOOGLE is coming.

I sincerely hope this is not a case with AppSheet.

Me too! My coworkers got it but I didn't
