I know Glide is build on top of a spreadsheet. And I see how it helps when working with datasets and all that.
But when I want to tell a story, I don’t want to think as a database, I want to start with the story. What do I need NOW? And I find myself liking working in the Glide editor more than in a spreadsheet.
I see myself more and more using the ‘custom’ fields in the components and the ‘from url’ fields. It gives me more freedom. I have 2 articles on the front page that work like that. Yes they disappear after a week, not in the database, but scarcity is good too!
