I’m excited to showcase an application I’ve developed in Glide for annotating images. This app allows users to freely draw or add text annotations on top of an image, with each annotation type being stored in separate columns—one for the image and one for the annotations. For now, the data is stored using Glide’s API, which works well within the platform’s limitations.
This project is just a starting point to demonstrate that it’s possible to implement image annotation directly within Glide itself. While the app is functional, one limitation is the security of using Glide’s API for handling sensitive data. As I continue developing, I am considering expanding the app using Google Apps Script (GAS) or hosting it on GitHub to address these concerns and provide more flexibility.
The trial period for this app will be available until the end of December 2024, or until the limit for updates is reached. You’re welcome to try it out and see how it works. I hope this serves as inspiration for others looking to build similar tools in Glide!
