It's slightly less easy to read than <li ng-each={myList}>...</li>

But it means you don't have to learn a library's HTML API.

Or when you want to loop through myList, but exclude a few particular items... you know how to write that in JS, but have no idea what to do in the mark up language. You could create a filteredList, but it's often not ideal

So, can I use React as my company's front end framework or not?

If I do use React, what is the specific legal risk (if any)?

PLEASE no emotionally charged comments - I just want a clear answer from someone who deeply understands the legal stuff.

Meh, it's more just disrupting premarital pregnancy prevention.

Premarital sex has been huge since the invention of marriage, really hard to disrupt something that established. Denial is a pretty good app for it, try downloading that?

And yea this is a solid disruption to immorality, you're right! Now a person can get the medical care they need, even when local doctors would want to deny it based on their own religious beliefs.

It's meant to make the functions built on Blockspring usable in more places - so that's how it's part of our core value.

(by the way, long time no see - hope you've been well!)

They upped the limit from 400,000 cells - I think it's around 2M now, will try to find the source

That's a really good question.

I haven't hit a limit yet and tested with 200 queries / minute.

Will update this comment when I find that out.

It's an interesting idea - here are some issues to consider:

1. Joining data will be very slow. If you need to access 500 database to get the "comments" on a "post", you're going to have issues.

2. How will you change the database structure as you iterate?

3. Storage cost of data is so low, that by the time you would start paying for data, you would have greatly exceeded the capabilities of Google Sheets.

4. Google sheets are slower than databases - there are no indexes, keys, the data is not stored in a way meant for most db operations (selections, etc)

I'm sure theres more but these seem to be the biggest ones for me.

That said, you should definitely try it - it's an interesting project at the very least.
