I created a Twitter Bot from nothing but a Google Sheet – And I Didn’t Even Know The Scripting Language…

… that job taught me two very important lessons: repetitive stuff needs to be automated; the best way to learn to code is with a tangible, objective problem that needs a solution. … It was then I decided to go all-out and make a Twitter Bot. Having no relevant experience or clue of what I was doing, my goal was simple: send a few tweets with relevant quotes, readings, and information for Orthodox Christians

Very detailed post from Peter Berthelsen on his journey from no-code to making a functional Twitter bot and if you keep reading to the end you’ll get a link to Peter’s follow-up post with a template and setup instructions. These posts are great examples of the empowerment Google Apps Script can give to people.

Bkper “provide a simple way to work with Finances and Accounting on Google Cloud”. The BkperApp is a Google Apps Script library they have published so that other developers have an easy way to interact with the Bkper API. There are a couple of reasons for highlighting BkperApp. First it’s great to see a company invest in developing and publishing a Google Apps Script library for their product. The BkperApp code is worth looking at because the code has been developed in clasp using TypeScript. Finally the code is open source (Apache License 2.0) so if you are thinking of developing a library for your own product BkperApp might provide a useful starting point in terms of how you structure your project.
