Hi! I’m new in the forums but have been using Glide since May. I wanted to show you guys the app I made for the city district Laajasalo in Helsinki, Finland.

The app [laajasalo.app](https://laajasalo.app) features all the area’s sights and trekking destinations, services, general info about the area, and of course a daily events and activities listing which I update both manually and automatically with the help of Parabola through the city’s events database.

I also use Parabola to automatically scrape and then in the app show daily water temperature of the area – Laajasalo being Helsinki’s biggest island with 25 km of coast line 🙂

Let me know what you guys think! (sorry it’s in Finnish only 😕)

Hey @Teppo

Thanks for sharing your app. Nice job!

This is a pure example of what an open app is, with public and useful information.

I suggest you can personalice your link components

And get amigable labels for your links in Link Layout Options… 😉

Just one extra thing, I believe you can webview a Form link. Can you try that and let us know?

This opens a window of opportunity for validating things @Robert_Petitto @Jeff_Hager. Validating file type in an upload. Store file uploads in the owner’s Drive, not Glide storage, thus decrease storage cost. Insert multiple files in one form (like images etc.), not sure how it will look like in the destination sheet.

Looks great. I would maybe allow for the long paragraphs to have more option and showing 3-4 rows. That way you can show more in the screen on first view
