Google Form Submissions

[pbnj]

Hi @jlord, Thank you for starting this project.

I find that having two different platforms for collaboration a bit cumbersome. Especially when the chat system on Google Spreadsheets doesn't lend itself well to asynchronous collaboration.

Suggestion

What if Google Form submissions/responses end up as JSON blobs that are pull-requested into, say, data/ directory that lives at the root of this project? PROS

• Allow for collaboration and communication on one unified platform.
• Each article in question could be reviewed, modified/edited/changed in isolation.

CONS

• The page would have to send one GET request per article, which could slow down the perfomance of the site in the long run.
• Example GET request would look like:

  <script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jlord/federal-gov/master/data/president-elect-son-in-law-senior-white-house-advisor.json" type="application/json"></script>
  

  • This leads to tight coupling of static page(s) and content.
