Food for thought… Updates cost Glide money per update. I don’t know what those costs are, but if their expenses become greater than income, then we no longer have Glide to use because they will become bankrupt. Yes, I have used user specific columns a lot for navigation purposes and for custom forms, so I may have to rethink my apps workflow in the future, but glide has also mentioned that they may need to think about more tab style navigation and workflow features that don’t require the use of user specific columns, so I do forsee something like that coming down the pipeline, which would greatly reduce update counts for some people.

We don’t view Google as punishing us–that’s just their business model, and it’s ours too. Maybe you think that editing data in Glide Tables is free for us to do, so it should be free for you? It is not free. We expect you to pay for Glide if you use it seriously, and the more you use it, the more you should pay–it definitely…
