You can get a Google Sheet in JSON format just by adding alt=json to the URL. What do you do differently?


How do you do it? Seems like this feature has been shutdown?



Subscribed comment because also curious


Unfortunately, you cannot. But don't worry we have sheet2api now for this :)


What add-on are you using to do that? I've been playing around using Lovely Table and Awesome Table for this purpose but not really sure which one I ultimately want.


The site is built with Gatsby using gatsby-source-google-sheets. The source is here: https://github.com/city41/fgbg (warning, it's pretty terrible. I built this thing very rapidly as at its heart it's really just an experiment).

Awesome Table product manager here, let me know if I can help.


A lot of the emoji lists I've come across are missing recent ones or don't have all the skin colors.


There seems to be a lot of competition of other people doing this. What is special about yours?


Could you please refer which competition you have in mind exactly?

We're laser focused on extracting data, transforming it and sending it to webhooks.

No other service to our knowledge achieves a similar result with the same (low) effort required by Monitoro.

Beyond that, our focus really is to be a trigger to your automations, and in that regard expect more specific functionality targeted at this space, beyond what we are providing already.



We’re barely out of the MVP stage, but I already see at least two major differences:

- Javascript based custom transformations

- Specific focus on Webhooks (we’re compatible out of the box with Slack, Google Chat, Discord and really whatever else has a webhook API)

Not everything that says “Change tracking” is the same product.


Another significant differentiator:

We're the only vendor in the entire space providing a cloud native, on-premise option, compatible with any cloud vendor (no lock-in to AWS, Azure or anything else)


The problem with hosting your own instance of searx is that you will most likely be one of the only users and since the underlying search engine (Google, etc) knows where the traffic came from (your instance) they can pin it on you so you might as well just use Google directly. Also, I keep getting captcha errors when I try to use searx.


https://github.com/jivesearch/jivesearch. I run my own instance with the crawler so I don't rely on Yandex (their default). I switched when DDG purged a lot of their !bangs. Even though I don't use the purged !bangs much I felt they were censoring.


that's cool! what is your mrr?


How much do you charge each company?


They're still beholden by their VC's, who most likely forced them to purge a lot of their !bangs not too long ago.


Why? The !bang is a referral, if you get enough traffic you can charge the site you’re sending traffic to


Is that why there is no longer a !libgen bang? I swear there used to be one.
