@WillowMobileSys Thank you for your contributions across the AppSheet Community. Your posts are always so well organized, concise and timely! Your feedback about our Community site as a member of our Customer Advisory forum has been invaluable and is driving a lot of the enhancements going on in the background! We appreciate all your help!
@Koichi_Tsuji thank you so much for all of the amazing feature ideas you have provided our product team in 2022 through the Feature Ideas page. We’re absolutely listening and hope to bring many of them to fruition in the near future. We also appreciate your work to make AppSheet tips, tricks and solutions available to Japanese speakers!
A huge thank you to @graham_howe, @WillowMobileSys, @Joseph_Seddik, @Marc_Dillon, and @o_mathieu for serving on the inaugural cohort of our AppSheet Customer Advisory Forum. These Community members met regularly to provide candid feedback to the AppSheet and Google Cloud Communities teams to help make this space better for you all. We will be revamping and expanding this group in 2023 and look forward to adding more members interested in creating a thriving, helpful, and fun Community where we can learn together and support each other in reaching our goals.
