here’s my (simple) entry to WDC #14
Stretch MARKS - an app for tracking stretching exercises
my physical therapist put together this set of stretching exercises for me to relieve me of the pain i’ve been feeling in the back of my legs apparently caused by sitting in front of the computer for so long because i’ve been working from home, watching netflix, and sometimes working on thunkable apps! (whew!)
I wanted it to be simple so i had already planned on using DVL’s because they handle lists very well in a “nocode” manner. i settled on a running one week’s worth of history (using the day of the week as index) for simplicity and i knew i had to use google sheets because it could handle many of the automatic calculations, including building the URL for making the charts appear in the weekly progress DVL.
here are my screens
you can watch a short movie showing how the app is used.
make a copy of the google sheet i’m using and upload it to your google drive as stretch_db
finally, here’s a link to my project (new link)

unfortunately when a thunkable project using google sheets is shared, the datasources are converted automatically to local storage so it cannot be truly tested. these are the steps that i’ve used to make it workable.
- make a copy of my stretch_db sheet and upload to your google drive under the same name.
- open the project and while in design mode, edit every screen with a DVL, note down the datasource and table, then clear out the values.
- delete the old datasource - then add the new datasource (from google drive)
- in design mode, provide the correct values for datasource and table for each screen that uses a DVL
- in blocks mode, revisit each screen and redo all datasources-related blocks (purple?) with error indicators until no more errors (ie. by redo, i mean, drag a new version from the templates and replace the old one after copying the required parameters)
- good luck
