Google Snooze Fail

With the release of a snooze feature for Gmail I learned that you can extend Gmail with scripts. I also learned that Google is starting to put less effort into polishing the products it releases.

To install the script you have to create a spreadsheet in Google Docs, open a script editor, copy and paste the script, save the script (but not the spreadsheet?), run an install method, and give the script permission to access Gmail (double the fun if you have more than one Google account logged in at the time).

This was challenging for me, and I'm a software developer!

And then you will get no extra functionality, but you will get error emails every night until you turn the stupid thing off.
