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).
patcon 15:02:33
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
kjcl 15:02:49
Google sheets is accessible but I feel like it’s so malleable and explodes really easily lol
kjcl 15:03:16
Hm I totally agree
patcon 15:03:32
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
patcon 15:04:35
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
patcon 15:07:19
perhaps _most_ importantly: without the "sheet", all the good puns for the toolkit would go away :laughing:

kjcl 16:12:12
Hm…
kjcl 16:12:26
What if we included some sort of on-call functionality
kjcl 16:12:48
where if parsing of the data didn’t succeed, it would page/e-mail a volunteer?
