Hola Fellow Gliders!
I have spent the past year developing a comprehensive education app for my company (I own a private school and tutoring business in three cities). It’s truly revolutionized my business and I love it! But, I have about 150 other franchisees in my network that are expressing interest in buying what I’ve built. My question is what’s the best way to “package” an app?
I could just add them all as users on one giant one (which I would imagine would crash due to size), or I could make duplicates of my original app (which is what sounds good to me) and spin them off… But, if I then make an edit or improvement to one app, do I have to manually do that for each of my child apps? Is there a tool or method y’all have done for updates down the road?
Sorry for the open-ended question, but I’m curious how I should approach this before I open Pandora’s Box and overwhelm myself.
Thanks!
-Andrew

Yep. Though, this is probably the best option. There was once talk of Glide creating a thing called “Solutions” which would allow you to package up duplicated versions of an app but also allow you to mass update them from a master.
I doubt this will be coming to Glide, though.

Thanks Robert! Wouldn’t have made it this far without you!

Hi Andrew, in my own experience, Glide Big Tables help a lot, the speed improvements are fantastic for big scale now, just talk with sales to customize your plan.

Agreed. I have the Business Plan already. Tracking assignments and texting parents eats up tons of rows and it works great for that.
