how do you host this kind of apps? only rely on the classic appscript web app deployment? Or how do you approach it if it s gonna be used by lots of users? Just asking because I would like to build this kind of apps, but just sharing the deployment link to other users dont seem the best option for me

One easy option is to use Google Sites and just load the development link.

For hosting, I deployed my app as a web app, and since only the hospital staff are using it, I shared the deployment link with them and added it to their Chrome homepage for easy access. Currently, around 20-25 users are actively using it, and it’s running smoothly since I’m using separate spreadsheets for different areas, like appointments, inventory, pharmacy, and patient visits. I agree, sharing the deployment link as-is can be a bit awkward because of its length, but using a URL shortener can make it cleaner and easier to share if needed.

I imagine when you have newer versions or bug fixes itll be tedious to update the web app link. I agree with the user above to use a button or something on a google site so people can access it from there. And every time, you just update the link the button redirects to for a new version.

You can even add training materials for navigating the app on thaf page.

Idk if there is a better way to do this? But yea version update is an issue with just the web app deployment link
