Description
If the script is going to start having multiple files + dependencies, it would be nice if there was a one-click way to install this. This is a good idea even if it's a single file, since not everyone will want to do the manual installation process.
Ideally I would host a version of the script from my google account. Anyone could click a button somewhere that installs it to their account.
I think the way it has to happen is to package it as a web app. These can somehow be configured to run as the user of the script (not the author of the script).
On the one hand, this seems possible. On the other hand, I still have not seen a reasonable proof of concept that accomplishes this. Actually, I feel like I saw one a few months ago but apparently didn't bookmark it.
Other things:
-
A packaged web app can apparently add the appropriate triggers programatically.
-
If the goal is user-friendly install, then there should also be a way to configure the tickler without having to edit the script manually (which is probably not even possible in a packaged web-app). I guess this can be done by manually making a web interface, and using Properties service as a user-specific key-value store. This seems like a bunch of work.
