You don't actaully need any fancy wrapping.. just open https://script.google.com/ https://script.google.com/ you can already access all google's APIs + you will be able to integrate your sheets with your gmail (send email), calendar (you can modify the calendar when the sheet get changes), create pages, allow inputs from form and etc..) The problem with that is the sheet will not have any .. transaction based ops like a real database so for example you want to lock certain resources.. you may fail..

Every time someone makes a simple solution for a problem on this website someone else points out that a much more complicated option already exists.

  Is it more complicated, really?

  It's not a simple solution if it suggests replacing one API with two APIs (sheets + this wrapper). It defeats the point of going with Sheets. Both APIs can break now.

  It depends on the end user actually. If it is a developer then it might not be that complicated.
