Spreadsheet Websites Workshop (Manila Session)

​Combining the fluidity of spreadsheets with the endless possibilities of presentation with websites, ‘Spreadsheet Websites’ invites everyone – Notes app fans, hobbyist collectors, artists, Letterboxd writers, anik-anik lovers, playlist makers – to learn how to make  spreadsheet websites! Instead of complex databases or frustrating website builders, learn how to create a simple, yet poetic website with contents fed from a Google Sheet. 💾💬

​We encourage you to think of or prepare contents that lend themselves to the form of sheets, lists, and catalogs: personal book reviews, photo collections, resource lists, restaurant ratings. You might draw from your personal collections, or work with friends / for strangers to formalize a collection that isn’t your own. This workshop will primarily be conducted with Google Suite, Google Sheets, and any text editor. We’ll also help you publish your site on the web. (But remember, just because it’s on the internet doesn’t mean it has to be for ‘everyone’, you can create a site just for yourself or someone you love.)

​Attendees will receive the recording and an accompanying ‘website workshop’ with all templates, resources, and guides that you can have access to forever. A suggested donation is listed, but the workshop is pay-what-you-can.

​This is the Manila-friendly session of the event. The North America session is at https://lu.ma/spreadsheetwebsitesUS.
Our workshops are held in English and are open to anyone.

​The workshop is hosted by Developh (@develophorg) and the Ambient Institute (@hotemogf’s teaching practice) – and is heavily informed by learnings from the School for Poetic Computation’s Spring 2023 ‘Solidarity Infrastructures’ class.

​Developh is a critical technology institute and community of practice reclaiming technology as a tool for liberation rather than repression. It was founded in 2016 in Manila, Philippines and is host to the Philippine Internet Archive. https://developh.org

​Chia Amisola is a designer and internet + ambient artist. Their (web)site-specific art posits worlds where creation is synonymous with liberation—where self-preservation may become communal preservation. They teach on websites, poetics, and internet cultures through the Ambient Institute (https://ambient.institute). https://chia.design
