I am new to app building, but have some experience of HTML. I’ve using a Google sheet to plan my weight watchers meals for the week. I’d like to see if I can convert this to an online app for myself.
I am writing for ideas on how to put this together or if this is doable using Wappler. I’d like to design the front end using Bootstrap Studio.
Can you guys have a look at my google sheet here and let me know if its possible.
I’d like to drop and drop meals across days, and have the app re-calcualte the daily totals etc. On the second tab is the list of foods and their values.
Would this be a difficult job? I am eager to have a go!
Hi @mthomas,
Welcome to Wappler Community.
The data/structure on Google Sheet link you have shared seems doable on Wappler.
You will definitely need to setup a database for storing the data. Although I have not tried it yet, but the new Docker integration should help too, in case the back-end is all new to you.
About the difficulty, from what I could understand, its doesn’t look very difficult, but its not very simple either. If I was to develop this when I started using Wappler, it would have taken a lot more time than it would take now, but it it would have been worth it.
It’s a bit of a learning curve getting started with Wappler’s way of doing things, but once you get into it, it works quite well.
You can look into nested tables & repeats for the basic structure. Saving the data could pose a challenge as everything also needs to be inside a tabular structure - but don’t worry, it can be done i’m sure.
I am starting to think about how this can be done… am I able to use block-spring and use a google sheet? or can someone direct me to a tutorial that is similar to what I am trying to achieve.?
