Hello Gliders!
It’s been a couple weeks since our last community update, so we’ve got a heaping bundle of new stuff to share with you. Let’s dig in, eh?
Custom CSS library for Glide apps
You can do a lot to tweak your Glide app visuals now that custom CSS is available on all paid Glide plans. Kudos to @ThinhDinh and the Low Code Agency team for this amazing custom CSS library that you can use for your Glide builds.
Replay: Knowledge Sharing at Work
Our first Innovators at Work session is now available on demand. Thanks again to Bill Schonbrun, COO of CarboNet, for bringing the insights and practical advice.

Last month we challenged you to show off your most impressive Make scenarios that include Glide apps. We saw some great examples popping up in the community and on social. Congrats to @Myles_Chaput, @abdo, and @AJRDesigns.co for their winning entries!
