Why Make This?

As a high school teacher who does coding as a second job, I found myself starting to make small tools for personal use in the classroom. As I made more, I wanted to be able to give back to the community, and make them available for everyone. This project is a labor of love (to date, about 70+ hours in on it).

Version 2.4 Launched!

Automatic Updates Added! Last time you’ll have to manually update, future updates are pulled automatically from Github as with your normal plugins.

Notice to Past Users

If you downloaded any version prior to 2.0, you’ll need to re-authenticate with Google by adding the Sheets API to your project and then adding sheets to your scope, as well as generating new credentials.
