                Why I love Tabletop.js but don't use it in production
              
          
    Tabletop.js is a fantastic, open-source JavaScript library that lets developers easily integrate data from Google Spreadsheets into their online projects. I've used it, even contributed a minor feature, and love it for prototyping. Non-programmers love being able to update a project via Google Spreadsheets' hyper-intuitive interface.

    ProPublica News Applications Fellow


We’re looking for the next great News Applications Fellow to work with ProPublica’s world-class news applications desk.
To give you a sense of the work you’ll be doing, here are examples of what your predecessors have done: Our first Fellow built our Nursing Home Inspect app as well as the Pipeline Tracker, which is as far as we know the first news application and reported story that share a single byline. The second Fellow helped build Free the Files, one of the most ambitious journalistic crowdsourcing projects ever, and completely revamped our hugely popular [Dollars
