@kirillzubovsky Each Glide app is a mobile-optimized web app (PWA) and native builds for iOS and Android, but the native builds are currently only available on our paid tier. We have a native implementation of Glide on React Native, but are learning more about what customers need when they ask for "native" and are exploring our options here.

@dvdsgl Thanks! Also, how do you guys store images in Sheets ? Are all of those external urls of a 3rd party storage? I didn't know Sheets allowed for image storage.

@kirillzubovsky Right now you just use URLs but you can also use data URLs. It's clunky and we need to improve it.

@marketplicity Thank you for your interest and support! For the time being, if you want to publish to stores, that's available on our Business plan. We're enabling new PWA features every week, though, so the web versions are evolving quickly and those are free & instant to share. iOS 12.2 adds even more useful PWA features.

@ameya_sk Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Shawn! By the way I see the button on gatsbyfiles.com doesn't link to https://gatsbyfiles.glideapp.io/ — please use this link for better usability on Android!

@bentossell You know this thing is good when the master of no code building himself gives it an endorsement!

@irhymeth Thanks! We're effing excited as well too ;) And yes, integrations is something you should expect from Glide in the future.

@zoink Thank you! Can't wait to brainstorm with you about our future crypto components :D

Thanks, Rohit! Now let's build an app together :D

@sasha_radoslavov What do you mean by that? Like a spreadsheet, Glide apps are 'live previewed' as you work on them. There is no distinction between building and running them.

@aaronoleary Thank you! There are some limitations at the moment – Glide apps are best for brochure-style apps that show a global view on a data set right now, but we are focusing on adding and editing data next. We’ve watched hundreds of developers build thousands of apps over the last 7 years, and we learned that designing a great app is often a much harder problem than writing its code. We’re tackling the challenge of designing a great app by applying high-level mobile patterns and pre-built components that bind to your data. We never want a user to have to arrange primitive components on a 2D canvas unless they really need something bespoke, and we want to empower anyone to include the best features from their favorite App Store apps with zero work. There are so many subtle details to get right to make great app experiences that we need to offer useful constraints so that app creators quickly get a result they’ll be proud to share, but there is definitely a balance between constraints and power that we'll have to play with. The spreadsheet model of data/computation is integral to our plans for Glide–Google Sheets is a starting point, but it’s also not merely one of many data sources for Glide. We think that non-programmers will be able to build serious apps with this familiar model.

@aaronoleary @dvdsgl Do your plans include being able to pull updated data? Or is it a re-publish each time? Edit: Now that I see they are PWA's, I guess my question is more nuanced, about published apps perhaps? :)

@desi_saran Right now the data is more-or-less static, with basic Notes, Comments, and Chat components. We are focused on the ability to add and edit records next, so you'll be able to do what you describe in the next month or two.

@hellomahesh You can link to Google Forms at the moment, but in-app forms are coming in the next few weeks: http://help.glideapps.com/faq/ca...

@hellomahesh @dvdsgl Any update on the in-app forms? Thanks!

@hellomahesh @michael_roman Still working on them! You can add and edit now, though, for inputting data.

@saxon_brooker Offline support is on our roadmap.

@rmateu Thanks a lot! We're really focused on getting the little details right. In fact I think we're the only PWA on iOS to support edge-swipe ;)
