Hello everyone! Hope evryone is doing wel. I have a bit of a problem. I’ve created a random qoute system that uses google sheet to get the qoutes and then displays a random qoute in the button. It works as supposed on the web-preview but when I download it it doesn’t work on my chromebook or an…

@sketch I took the liberty of checking out your project by your username and I edited it. It seems to work now. [image] The link is here PS - i duplicated your project and all i got from the data is thunkable so thats it that is in the quotes

thank you so much that works. Still one qeustion is there a way to remove the Delay before IT picks a random qoute? [image] domhnallohanlon: I’ve never tried the device is online block on a Chrombook so that’s another thing that would be worth looking into! It seems to work for me.

hmm i did the same check it says that it took 1.7 minutes to load.

I was just looking at your code and wondering, do you have to set a stored variable to the quotes or can you just call directly from google sheets? Unless you have planned for offline use.

[image] backscratcher2007: minutes or microseconds? minutes. [image] backscratcher2007: Unless you have planned for offline use. I do plan to do that.
