Thats great, but why sheets? Google already provides Firebase which is an NO-SQL cloud database.
Such database is obtimized for loading, writing, search, etc. It is certainly faster than executing sheets in both development and execution.

Using Google sheets isn't for every project, but using Sheets is easier for MVPs and simple projects that have a lot of collaboration. Almost every company uses Sheets already and very easy to view/edit the data.

Great job! I did something similar in Flutter and at the end with all the synch logic between devices... Well, it was a good learning experience. For my next app, I used Firebase. I found it much-much-much easier.
