i wont be a the hackathon QQ
I’ll be at the hackathon but too shy to speak. Rock on!
haha totally legit. what if someone brought a piece of paper with your profile photo up to the mic? 🙂
haha i guess that's even worse in terms of making attention happen...! "hey, it's that guy from the picture who hates attention!"

@kevinliao thinking about making `for-marriage-equality` more reusable through better documentation and potentially a UI for geopoint entry, thoughts?

This Saturday at the hackathon I mean...
yesssss! i feel strongly that the whole strategy has a ton of merit as a kit or something 🙂
Was thinking of doing it but I’m going to the PRC tomorrow and I leave Taiwan on Sunday so I’m pretty busy right now! I’ll happily jump on anything you work on. I was thinking of making a better backend too and getting rid of google sheets. Maybe with something like scala play or Ruby on Rails.

Oh interesting. I kinda sorta love how google sheets makes “backend” accessible. Will give it more thought on Saturday. Lemme know if I could help with the talk on Saturday (other than speaking).
oh yeah, google sheets is totally the secret sauce imho...! i know i'm a fly on the wall, but that's what makes the whole website so interesting -- that it meets activists where they already are, and can be layered on gradually
Google sheets is accessible but I feel like it’s so malleable and explodes really easily lol
Hm I totally agree
what about having validation at the spreadsheet layer? maybe even as custom functions in google app scripts, which have been pretty useful to me in the past
like spreadsheet formulas are kinda unweildy, but maybe it could be more powerful with custom app script functions. and if there are any edge-cases, people can just go right back to regular sheet functions, and not get accidentally blocked out (by complex tech) of helping themselves
perhaps _most_ importantly: without the "sheet", all the good puns for the toolkit would go away :laughing:

Hm…
What if we included some sort of on-call functionality
where if parsing of the data didn’t succeed, it would page/e-mail a volunteer?
