Here is a better source with more info on AppSheet included: https://venturebeat.com/2020/01/14/google-acquires-no-code-a...

I’m really excited about the idea of the building applications being available to more people and I think that in theory there’s definitely a class of application that should not require extensive or even very much programming knowledge at all.

That said, I have not personally found many examples of “paint by numbers” built apps that look and feel great. I’d love to see some examples of anybody knows of a good applications that were made WYSIWYG style.

Very interesting, this seems very related to them force-migrating everyone to the new Sheets API that has a number of missing features.

Personally I think that this is a great buy for google as they needed more than app maker and google sheets

My hypothesis: this acquisition is a response to Microsoft's Power Apps. If the hypothesis is true, then Google should soon acquire either IFTTT or Zapier to match Microsoft's Power Automate (previously know as MS Flow).

With the share of the online spreadsheet market google has, I think they should not be allowed to buy any startup in this market.

Watching appsheet's video demo, really impressive.

Good competition for webflow?
