Thank You for Supporting SPCsoft Galaxy!

Since August 2022, I’ve been blessed to be able to create and publish Google Sheets add-ons  — simple tools I first built to make my own and my communities’ workflows easier. I never imagined they would grow this much, but over time they’ve reached far more people and communities than I expected. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has supported my vision. Your feedback and encouragement continue to inspire me to keep improving and creating.

Among them, the To-do List Plugin, One Link Sign-up and Comfort Attendance have become the most popular, with around 7K+, 2K+ and 1K+ downloads so far. It’s been amazing to see how something that started as a personal vision could help so many others. Thank you to users who spare the time that they have saved from using my add-ons to give back their encouraging reviews on the Googe Marketplace


The add-on blog has reached 38K views from people around the world.



And most importantly, thank you to my nine supporters on Ko-fi who helped me reach 1% of my goal to keep Serving People and Communities moving forward. Every bit of financial support means a lot and keeps me motivated to continue building and sharing more tools that make everyday tasks a little easier.


I’ll keep learning, improving, and sharing what I build — and I hope these small projects continue to grow and help more people and communities along the way.

To-do List Plugin - New Release Notice on Smart Refresh and Flexible Location

The To-do List plugin uses the onEdit trigger to refresh your to-do list. This trigger takes a few seconds to reach Google’s server before the refresh starts. During this short delay, you can continue making multiple updates to your tasks. However, you’ll need to wait for the refresh to complete before making further edits. It is not user friendly for bulk updates, you have to unplug and plug in which is also not convenient.

Because data transmission depends on Google Sheets’ network speed, there is currently no way to improve this delay. Therefore, a new Smart Refresh mode has been developed and is undergoing a pilot testing. 


✨ What’s New

A. Dropdown to Control Refresh

A new refresh control dropdown has been added at the top of the task header which works for desktop browser and mobile app.

It has the following options:

1. 🎬 Refresh now

Informs the server to refresh.

2. Auto refresh

Automatically refreshes whenever an edit is received from the server.

3. Smart refresh

When an edit occurs, the task header will show:

  • Desktop: Refresh when idle for 20s. Select this cell to refresh now.

  • Mobile: Refresh when idle for 20s. Use the above dropdown to refresh now.

After 20 seconds of inactivity (idle):

  • Desktop: Idle detected – refresh in 10s! Select this cell to refresh or any cell to skip.

  • Mobile: Idle detected – refresh in 10s!

After 10 more seconds (30s total idle), the server will automatically start refreshing.

  • Desktop/Mobile: Refreshing ... update now not captured.

4. Manual refresh

The server will not refresh automatically — only when 🎬 Refresh now is selected.


B. Flexible to-do list location

You can now put your to-do list anywhere with other information that you are working on.
