Thanks @GreenFlux ! I was just thinking about the issue today before I saw your post but I had forgotten about this thread. The search method you shared is excellent but I wish AppSheet would make that a part of the platform. Imagine having to use a trick like this to find YouTube content. I think the YouTube analogy is valid in that those of us who make sample apps (or, in my case a fully functional app that can be used for free after the “sample” is copied) are providing content for the AppSheet platform, just as YouTube users are supplying the platform wth content. It’s true that AppSheet isn’t as dependent on user-created content as YouTube is, but I think it is the case that user-created content has the potential to enhance the value of the AppSheet platform is an analogous way.
Despite the potential similarities between AppSheet and YouTube in terms of user-generated content, the difference in the visibility of such content on the two platforms is huge. I can’t see how this is good for any of the interested parties, either Google (AppSheet), sample app builders, or AppSheet users hoping to learn. Any thoughts about this fundamental issue, @praveen ?
