Support for Googlesheets #257

Open Stephen-Gates opened 8 years ago

Stephen-Gates commented 8 years ago

I have created a list of Australian Open Data Portals in Google Sheets.

By using /export?format=csv at the end of the sharing link, you can download a CSV file instead of launching the Google Sheet.

It may be worth sharing this tip in the /About page so people know that Google Sheets is a publishing option for CSV and that it works with CSVLint.

Inspired by @Floppy convincing GitHub to serve .CSV files correctly as mentioned in this video (4:40min in). Perhaps we could get Google to do the same?

That way I can have a valid CSV badge instead of a CSV warnings badge.

Ooh, nice, they validate (almost) correctly? That's great. We should add it to the documentation. Nice one!
