  • I use Google sheets on my personal projects.

    • tracking expenses
    • tracking my ride logs from my ev

    Google app script pickup email received from banks and update the transaction automatically. I modify it using web based form of needed.

    The ev company has api. It will be called on periodic basis to get the ride details and update the sheets. I use telegram api to interact, by triggering the api webhook, getting charts, etc.,

    Initially I setup OCR to extract the ride information, so the process was like

    • send an image that has ride details to a telegram bot
    • the bot saves the image in Google drive
    • the image would be opened in docs
    • the text would get extracted and stored in Google sheets as data
    • edits can be done using telegram webapp
    • sheets provide charts for analysis
    • built a process using sheets to handle telegram bot for maintaining users, approvals, etc.,

    It would be hard if I have used any other services… setting up OCR preparing charts etc.,
