I’m extremely happy to announce the creation of a new widget: “Marimo in Grist”. Marimo is a modern alternative to Jupyter notebooks that let you edit, run, share and play with Python scripts.
A simple custom widget to upload attachment.
I’ve build a prototype of a tar like gristar command which extracts grist attachments in bulk from a grist file. If you use it, be aware that this is a prototype.
A modern, open source spreadsheet that goes beyond the grid
Grist has an extremely useful feature: User Actions. Unfortunately, there is almost no documentation on this subject. This post is my attempt to solve this problem, and empower more people (both user and developers) to use them.
There is an undocumented method lookupOrAddDerived, which behaves like lookupOne but creates a matching record if one isn’t found.
Command-line tool for interacting with Grist.
Grist is a versatile platform for creating and managing custom data applications. It blends the capabilities of a relational database with the adaptability of a spreadsheet, empowering users to design advanced data workflows, collaborate in real-time, and automate tasks—all without requiring code.
First, excuse my English for I’m a French Grist enthusiast. I searched for weeks a way to send a PDF file once a form has been submitted in order the user gets a ready-to-print summary of what he’d just filled.
Thanks t…
I’m really surprised that there’s no built-in custom widget for viewing attachments. It was easy enough for ChatGPT to make one for me with the Custom Widget Builder, but given the existence of the image viewer widget, it seems like something like this should be built-in.
This is an experimental way to install Grist on a server quickly with authentication and certificate handling set up out of the box.
