Is there a way to dynamically update the browser tab title with a count? I’m trying to see if there was a way to do this by updating the browser tab title or updating the favicon? I’ve seen on the mobile side, there’s a way to do the notifications bubble so may try that but trying to figure out if there was a way to do so on desktop. I’m using Glide Apps, not pages as well if that matters.

Have you tried Glide University? You would need some basic understanding to make things work. It is a great place to start:

I just glanced through there but is there something I should be looking for? I used to do front end development so I’m already familiar with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I just haven’t found if there’s a way to update the browser title with a “count” or like a favicon to show as a notification that something new is being posted

So what you want is updating these tab names?

Screenshot from Arc, so it’s vertical, just trying to understand the field you’re trying to change.

Yep! Usually it’s just document.title in JavaScript but wasn’t sure if we could do it within Glide to be able to use something like a count column

Would be super cool if we can use JS for things other than backend data processing, hehe.
