The Newsletter Signup Form challenge turned out to be more challenging than expected, especially when I accidentally deleted the entire project before deploying it. However, it was still a fun and rewarding experience. As an additional feature, I went beyond the basic requirements and created a way to store the submitted emails using Google Sheets and Google Scripts.
Instead of building a traditional backend, I used Google Sheets as a simple database to store the email addresses. I wrote a small piece of code using Google Scripts that allows the form submissions to be saved directly into a Google Sheet. You can check out the Google Sheet LINK HERE to see the collected email data.
If you're interested in how I made it work, I have included the script's code in my repository. You can take a look and try it out for yourself. This approach offers an alternative way to handle backend functionality without setting up a dedicated server.
I welcome any questions, comments, or feedback you may have about this project.
