**COMMUNITY MEETUP: June 2, 2020 (Tuesday)**  
17.00 (CET)  
60-90 minutes  
Join here: [Google Meet link](https://meet.google.com/amu-pvhg-uuc)

**Meeting agenda**

- Let’s try to sign in a few minutes early so we can start at 17.00.
- Participants will introduce themselves (60 seconds max.): experience and goals with Glide.
- Topics will be discussed in 10 to 20-minutes chunks.
- When speaking, please try to use the CAR method: context, actions, results.
- 5 to 10-minute break around 17.40 if needed.
- Topics we do not address during this meetup will be addressed during the next one. 🙂

* * *

**Concept & purpose of the meeting**

This community meetup is organized spontaneously by a few Gliders, not by Glide Team itself. The session is meant to be a **discussion**. Join with your own topics and ideas. 🙂

- We want to get smarter, find inspiration, learn from one another.
- We will not record the meeting as we are here to learn, not to perform and attract clients.
- We share learnings and experience, **including mistakes, misunderstandings, failures** …

During this 60 to 90-minute online meetup, Gliders – **maybe including you** – will discuss multiple topics in 10-20 minutes chunks related to app building in Glide.

(Deep dives, full blown app building sessions and class-like meetups might be organized at later dates, where an expert might present trending topics or demonstrate something live.)

* * *

**Discussion topics submitted so far**

- Setting up a carousel in conjunction with Cloudinary (@Krivo)
- Query vs importrange vs arrayformula in Google Sheets (@Krivo)
- Text strikethrough (@nathanaelb)
- Where the biggest “hacks” are done (data structure, design) that might indicate upcoming feature releases.
- Best practices when creating an app: creative process, data structure in GS and GDE, UX.

Further requests or suggestions for this meetup, **from you**

- Lag troubleshooting (@David_Fefferman)
- Efficient data structure (@David_Fefferman)
- Storing subscription details (mail provider, in sheet?)
- Integrations with 3rd-party services such Webflow, Zapier, etc.
- Timestamps: local time vs user’s settings
- Private messaging within an app. Realtime. Daily summaries. (@David_Fefferman)
- App push notifications. Browser notifications. (@David_Fefferman)
- On-boarding screens. Zero-state and first time user tutorials that disappear after the user has completed a task. (@David_Fefferman, @Manan_Mehta)
- Cash on Delivery (COD) as an additional option at checkout (@Aj2666)
- Combined public & private access for users (@Aj2666)
- Custom REST apis (@Wayne)
- Limits: 25000 rows, will we ever have this limit increased (@Wayne)
- Like component customizable, e.g. down vote, upvote instead of just Liked (@Wayne)
- Google Maps: drop pinto set a location (@Wayne)

**Let us know here if you think you might be able to join**. Should you want a calendar invitation with the Google Meet link as a reminder, feel free to send @nathanaelb a direct message with your email address and I will add you.

Great idea. Will a recording be available? I’d love to join as the topics are really of interest but I have a work meeting at that time.

@Stephanie_Bonnet i will respond that the meeting will not be available as a video afterwards as the will involve a lot more preparation - and also some intimacy. But I will say that I expect to share my app for showing how to use image carousel and cloudinary.

Thanks @Krivo I understand, certainly don’t want to create more work for you. The topics that I was interested in are those below so if there is some kind of summary somewhere, great but again only if something you intended to do anyway.

This sounds like a lot of fun!  
I’m working on an app with a lot of user generated content. Efficient data structure and reducing lag are top of my list.

Another few topics that are top of mind for me right now:

1. Private messaging within an app
2. App push notifications
3. Zero-state/first time user tutorials that disappear after the user finishes a task

I know there are posts on just about all of these topics, and I’m diving into them. Still, would be great to cover/discuss.

Regarding the private messaging, here’s a template of it.

> [@Direct messages](https://community.glideapps.com/t/direct-messages/7766/14):
>
> @Amanda_Schulze @mmgt2005 @ikleveland My Messenger app hit the Glide template store!

App push notifications has been requested multiple times, but it’s hard to achieve on iOS.

</div>

Can we add a topic of onboarding screens? These could be tutorials or an overview of an app and are vital in deciding if a potential customer uses the app or not.  
These are to be showcased only to first time users of any app. For both public apps and public with email apps.
