Dygi.me — My first ever SaaS built with Glide

@kyleheney

Would it make sense to only show public profiles you’re not following?

Perfect sense!

[Robert_Petitto]

@Lucas_Pires

Yep, for instance: you’ve added me, but I couldnt find your profile to add you too. Makes sense?

I’m going to add a toggle to switch between followers and following later tonight.

This really shows the power and versatility that Glide provides…

…in a single day you’ve:

a) launched a Saas,

b) adapted “user” feedback and developed feature improvements into the UI/UX almost instantaneously and with ease,

and c) been able to include features similar to those in popular, “main-stream” apps (followers/following, etc.) that make the UX familiar, useful and fun…using only 2 tables?!

Glide is awesome!

[Robert_Petitto]

Seriously! And in actuality, I’m only using one Glide data table. The second one I deleted because it became unnecessary

[Darren_Murphy]

For the contact email, you should have an option to “Use current signed in users email”

[MIKAHEL]

Still the same.
Only the columns are no more divided, and actually was better in that way!
Indeed i don’t understand why glide has not provided a feature to change the columns disposition. Sometime is bad to have one row one field, since the size of the data entry becomes too long.

[Darren_Murphy]

What is the minimum requirement for a “complete” profile?

I’ve already filled in as much as I can/am willing to…

[Robert_Petitto]

Fixed. It was still requiring the Company field which I had made unrequired earlier in the day.

Done.

@Darren_Murphy

Use current signed in users email

Done.

@kyleheney

if someone nefarious adds me after I post my link somewhere, I’d prefer if I had the ability to block that unknown user from retaining my contact info.

Like this?

Congrats, works good and simple and looks good.
And a digital card is handy.
The only thing I have questions about is the ‘social bit’.
I personally wouldnt use and extra platform for that when my other social platforms already do that. When you start ‘following’ people that gives an expectation to me that functionality will be added around that social aspct.
I think the app is great without followers and following.

Good job! love the simple clean look!
Good luck and look forward to seeing development!

I think the step-by-step form is important, especially when there is a lot of info to add. The process Instagram uses is excellent. These are my suggestions.

1. First page: keep only the first three pieces of information. Everything else on the page is empty.

2. Then next, some additional info.

3. Then next.

Everything that is mandatory should be put on the first few pages. It may also be better to remove titles like About, Contact, Social, this is unnecessary additional information, it is moreover implicit.

At the end of the mandatory fields process the Next button becomes Publish and for all additional non-mandatory information the Next button goes down.

Then let the button complete your information for all those who did not add a non-mandatory infos.

Then you have to build a system of recommendations based on profiles or tags. I think it would be great to add tags where users inform about what interests them and especially to create interactions. Good luck.

BTW, @Jeff_Hager has a way to build forms in stages.

I think this app is more similar to LinkedIn where you have/can add a list of professional contacts, like a personal CRM…not so much like Instagram where it’s about a social feed and where so-and-so ate for supper last night…

Although, I’m not the creator so I really have no idea what the end-goal is. Haha

[Robert_Petitto]

@ehdubya @erwblo I appreciate both sentiments.

I like the idea of “saved contacts” just like I would save a stack of physical business cards to access again later. So, in that sense, the idea of “people I follow” is necessary in this platform.

The reverse, people following me, is less important and wasn’t a part of the original concept. If I were to give my business card to somebody, or if I were to leave them out publicly at a restaurant let’s say, I wouldn’t have the expectation of being able to “take back” the card after the fact.

…but I’m happy to give the people what they want.

[Robert_Petitto]

I would also much prefer this workflow. The tricky part is that I’m using an edit screen, not a form. Can’t split an edit screen into sections.

I’d have to spend some time creating a custom edit experience during onboarding to make this work…I could certainly add an additional screen to the onboarding process after selecting a username. Low priority, but would improve the experience a bit. Thanks for the feedback!

[erwblo]

Maybe it’s a matter of words. Saving contacts is nice, following feels like something else.

[jabid]

Understood. The idea is simply to allow the user to give only some information for registration and then keep the button “complete your profile” which will justify regular notifications …
