For me, my inner web-scraping wonders if there are other browser commands that can be exploited in a similar way. Perhaps the correct json data in a header for requests could open and append data to a new document. Then, a different request could read it back. Perhaps this could be used for a quick notes web app, or filtering system for data you currently have in a spreadsheet, or retrieve a particular slide? That way you can do quick, one-off reads and writes from a front end UI that leverages the in-place cloud infrastructure of the g suite rather than building your own? Then anybody who can collaborate on those docs could do the same, no Docs API key necessary. Hmm....would this be the type of framework any web devs would find useful?
