You refer to things Glide canā€™t do in the interview. What are the most important ones?

Hey Mark. I wasnā€™t complaining!
Itā€™s just more specific requests from customers for particular apps.

A couple come to mind: (app.cancuntour.app)
1.- Say we want to sell from the app a tour/yatch/activity. Even though if I have infinite inventory, Iā€™d still need that purchase to be linked to a date. As far as I understand, thereā€™s no way for me to do that: sell a service linked to X date.

2.- Another customer (app.mareazul.com) is moving from their ā€œhospitality appā€ to ours, but there are several things we fall short on:
2.1 Thereā€™s no ā€œchatā€ version within the app, to speak to customer service
2.2 Thereā€™s no ā€œeasyā€ way to send the guest the smart-key code for the guest to do self check-in (I donā€™t want to give them access to the Google Sheet)
2.3 Currently, their welcome app has a sign-in module, so you know that Mr John Doe is staying in Suite 101 Dec 11-13, and the home screen has that info; we canā€™t do that.

As I say, itā€™s not a complaint, Iā€™ve been in sales and mkt my whole life, and donā€™t have a problem saying NO to a customerā€¦ For my business to grow, I need volume and not a lot of specific development for specific custmers (especially at this VERY low price point). But if a customer needs a very bespoke hospitality app, my guess is that Glide wouldnā€™t work for them. Custom dev requires $$$, and nobody is willing to pay for that around here.

Thanks,

Thank you for your feedback!

1: To do that now youā€™d have to have a row for every date. I assume that you donā€™t want to do that?

2.1: Yes, we definitely need to do that.

2.2 and 2.3: You could make them log into the app with their email and have a row in a ā€œhomeā€ sheet where thereā€™s all the info for them. Iā€™m guessing you want the app to be public, without sign-in?

1.- Exactly. Ideally, Iā€™d have a calendar pick, just like in forms, but for buying.
2.2 and 2.3 let me look into thatā€¦ thatā€™s not a bad option.

  1. in PRO apps, daily statistics about app usage.
