The ability to follow other users is pivotal in any social media app. This video will show you how to build Follow/Unfollow functionality in Glide without any additional rows!
Great Mr P… 
Could we take it one step further?
If I (Jason) follow you (Robert) then Jason can see ‘content’ Robert has created for his followers - whatever that maybe.
No follow = I can’t see Roberts ‘content’ 
Follow = I can see Roberts ‘content’

You bet. That’s just a visibility/filter condition after the fact.
Visibility of an entire component: Show when email address (on details screen of person I’m viewing) is included in User>Following
Filtering of content within a list: Filter where email address (of content) is included in User>Following

Very clear and impressive, as always. Thanks for sharing, I’ll now need to study this.

Love this - there are so many great uses for it. The next step would then be to be notified when the person I am following creates or modifies content that I am interested in. So when I open my app, I can view a list of followers that have submitted new content, I can click on that person’s name and be directed to the new content…

This is awesome! Just what I needed! Again, thank you for another extremely applicable tutorial! tips hat
@kabookie, just spitballing here but I would assume if when users post content, the data in said post could include a “unique post id” and/or a “post timestamp” for each post - you could then filter an inline list of said content in either ascending/descending order by that post timestamp…and/or include these posts inside each Users profiles?
I’m sure Robert will be able to clarify what I just tried to explain but butchered

So you’d want in app alerts to new posts? Ya, doable. Create an inline list of all posts, filtered by people you follow. In the posts sheet, have a user specific column that gets populated with a timestamp when you view it. Any post without a timestamp is then “new” which means you could create an additional filter on that inline list to only display posts that are “new”

Would you be willing to do a tutorial to demonstrate this? Would be very helpful.
