Mention e.g.:

Simple Guidelines For Maintainable Spreadsheets
Attempt at achieving parity (with the exception of the GAS code, obviously) between Excel and Google Sheets.
Keep example sheets in the repository so they're version controlled and won't get lost.

Also mention that any GAS functionality needs to scale w/ Tock data (which was the downfall of Patrick's old GAS scripts).

Also mention rationale for using TypeScript: debugging on GAS itself is time-consuming and slow, so it's good to reduce the possibility of runtime errors as much as possible, hence TS.
