Hi! I'm Ben. I'm a junior at Tufts University studying Computer Science.

I built opensheet, a free and open source API for accessing Google Sheets that gets 150,000,000 hits/month. People use it to power pieces of their websites that need to be easily updated from a spreadsheet. Some people even combine it with Google Forms to turn Google Sheets into a lightweight database for their app!

I built it for my own side projects and websites after Google deprecated their own easy-to-use API. But the blog post I wrote on how to use it seemed to resonate with folks, and it's grown more than I could've imagined.

🌟 I'll use the sponsorship to cover the hosting bill for my hosted server — opensheet.elk.sh, the one that gets 150,000,000 hits/month — which (as you may have guessed) is getting a bit costly.

I would love to keep offering the hosted instance as a reliable resource for folks to use in their projects. Thanks for taking a look!
