Dream features - what’s yours?

Enhanced audio component

1. Track after track playback - I realize this might be difficult to do in the “All” tab of a library, but maybe it’s more manageable in a “Favorites” list? Unless paused or stopped by the user, Track 2 will immediately play after Track 1 finishes.
2. Continuous playback while in the app - I know iOS will stop playing music as soon as you exit the app (Android continues to play in the background), but users would LOVE to be able to stream music in the background while browsing within the app.
3. Toggle between songs - The ability to skip and go back through tracks.

“Dream features”:

  • Push Notifications . The best
  • Export/import

  • Email Automatization . The second one

Apply tags to users according to its interaction with the app. Or even better to set per user counters in specific app interactions…ie…times an item has been seen…,.

Oh yes ‘rename and rearrange’ would be great!

There are many apps of mine that I want to clean up…most of them ones before I learned that Data Columns > Sheets Formulas. This is a necessity!

Hope this one is on the backlog somewhere :slight_smile:

At the moment I’m considering making an invite link that opens a google form (hidden variables are filled with variables from glide), person will submit and is sent to the glide app.
On the back end I’m pulling in data from that sheet to pre-populate some fields in Glide sheet.

It’s a deep linking workaround for data.

Going to drop these here:
• App/Play store access - This is an app discoverability bottleneck, right now.

• Deep linking/externalization of app data - I would absolutely love if my users could embed/share their profiles via social media to “show off” their collections. Would be useful for them, and would provide a great, organic user acquisition channel.

• Automated way for a user to upload/import a sheet with lots of data that is matched to my columns and used to fill those columns (I have users using existing sheets to track large collections, and asking them to enter each item in that collection one-by-one is very painful for them).

• Automated way to export a user’s data via sheets (sort-of the reverse of above).

Glide is such an amazing tool that once you start learning, you go crazy with what you can build with it. But there is always a way to make it better.

Here’s my top 5 dream features:

1 - User / Password login

2 - Custom Push Notifications

3 - Restricted Access / Paywall

3 - Onboarding Splash Screens

4 - In App content indexed by Google Search

One great thing is that Glide is faster than Usain Bolt with their Roadmap, so you can always expect something new coming up soon.

Idk if anybody already mentioned it, but I’m hoping for a “like dislike” overlay button, just like we now have the favorite.

It would also be nice being able to refer to cells in different rows with the math and “if then” features in glide.

Also, those formulas apply to all cells in that column. I’d like to see added the option to make one or more cells unique, could be helpful in some cases.

Being able to use Google Tag Manager would be dreamy :heart_eyes: and really expand the already incredible Glide possibilities

  • Library of screen templates and block templates (a set a multiple well-chosen components would create a “block”).
  • Data wrangling templates in the Glide Data Editor.
  • App template store: ability for users to subscribe to an app template, and a parent template can then push changes to children templates that were subscribed to.
  • Database in Big Query / other sources of data.

Now we have tab visibility, what about Choose where user will sign-in in the app? :thinking:

Opening a new option of “hybrid” Log in… Public for wherever we like, but when user access a screen or button, a Sign-in pops up :exploding_head:

My Contribution :wink:

  1. Store Publishing
  2. Push Notification
  3. Deep Linking both for Link and Store App
  4. Some sort of Temporary Variables storage(may be to pass on the next screen)
  5. Local/In-App Notifications/Alerts/Badge
  6. Hidden Fields much like Special Values to sheet but for different component. Example: on button click which opens external link, i should increment a column value.

Nice list

So cool looking back at how many of these dream features have been delivered over the last six months :rocket:

Up-level Billing & Payments for me would be so great:

  • Data editor column for price
  • Memberships/ Subscriptions
  • Marketplace payments through stripe connect

It’s a little messy sending customers out of the app. Plus Glide would earn more revenue from apps that are being used for commercial use, rather than hobby/ community apps.

Ah also ability to duplicate tabs would be nice :slight_smile:

Most of those requests are already here in our Features Requests app https://features.staging.glideapp.io

Take a look

Here´s my (short) Dream list:

1 - More data storage
2 - Push Notifications
3 - Multiple themes in the same app

:rocket: the first one will put Glide on the highest level!

My top 3:

  1. Google tag manager (My gut is that this, together with Zapier would most likely provide the quickest path to meeting 80% of feature requests)
  2. Push notifications
  3. Split payments for multi-vendor marketplaces
