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 Pā€¦ šŸ‘ Could we take it one step further? If I (Jason) follow you (Robert) then Jason can see ā€˜contentā€™ Robert has created for his followers - whatever that maybe. No follow = I canā€™t see Roberts ā€˜contentā€™ šŸ˜ž Follow = I can see Roberts ā€˜contentā€™ šŸ˜ƒ ---

You bet. Thatā€™s just a visibility/filter condition after the fact. Visibility of an entire component: Show when email address (on details screen of person Iā€™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, Iā€™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 personā€™s name and be directed to the new contentā€¦ ---

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 ā€œunique post idā€ and/or a ā€œpost timestampā€ for each post - you could then filter an inline list of said content in either ascending/descending order by that post timestampā€¦and/or include these posts inside each Users profiles? Iā€™m sure Robert will be able to clarify what I just tried to explain but butchered šŸ˜œ ---

So youā€™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 ā€œnewā€ which means you could create an additional filter on that inline list to only display posts that are ā€œnewā€ ---

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