Google Sheets as Backend.

Let an extension read and write a Google Sheet, without the user having to set up a database.

Right now, if you want your extension to store anything, the options are a real backend like Supabase, your own API, or nothing. For a lot of what people actually build, a spreadsheet is the correct answer. It is free, they already have one open, and they can look at the data without asking anybody.

What this would look like in PlugThis. Connect a Google account, pick a sheet, and the built extension can append rows, read rows and update them. Same shape as the existing Supabase support, but pointed at a sheet.

Why it matters. Most first extensions do not need a database. A form that saves leads, a page clipper, a price tracker, a time log. Every one of those is a spreadsheet with a nicer front end. Telling somebody to go and set up Supabase to save five columns is the point where a non technical person gives up.

It is possible today by building the Sheets API calls into the extension yourself, but that means dealing with OAuth, scopes and a client ID, which is exactly the part that stops people.
