Google Apps Script has added support for HTML which will certainly boost up the usability of Apps Script by allowing developers to create web apps powered by HTML, client-side JavaScript, CSS and the Apps Script itself.

Google announced this in a blog post, “HtmlService allows you to create web apps using HTML, client-side JavaScript, and CSS. You can also use jQuery to build web apps”. The App Script team has integrated Google Drive to create, save and share projects similar to other files stored in the Drive. Moreover, developers can publish their apps in Chrome Web Store directly.

Several other features have been added to the Apps Script like ScriptDb (to store and search through large volume of data, without relying on spreadsheets), experimental support for managing versions etc. New users should refer this guide to start with the Apps Script.
