From my first Glide app to 350 client projects

Project Showcase
1

A few years ago, I built my very first app on Glide. It wasn’t for a client. It was just for me: something small, something that worked. I had no idea that moment would spark what later became LowCode Agency.

Since then, we’ve grown from a one-person experiment into a 40+ team that has now delivered 350 projects for startups, SMBs, and global companies.

And here’s the truth: without Glide, LowCode Agency wouldn’t exist, and I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to work with some of the smartest people in the world (hats off to @ThinhDinh and many others. The platform has been more than a tool for us: it’s been the backbone that allowed us to scale, and in many ways, our growth mirrors Glide’s own evolution.

Glide has been at the core of that journey. It allowed us to grow from scrappy MVP builds to enterprise-grade platforms. It opened the door to work with startups testing ideas, SMBs running their operations, and global companies who needed real, reliable systems.

As Glide kept raising the bar with features, security, and AI capabilities, we’ve been able to take on bigger challenges, work with bigger companies, and deliver solutions that actually stick.

Some highlights from the road to 350 (all built with Glide):

  • Zapier: A Workflow Hub that doubled community engagement and boosted workflow submissions by 80% after launch.

  • TTR Sotheby’s International Realty: A private listings app rebuilt in just 4 weeks, cutting listing management time by 75% and supporting 209 active agents.

  • BuildGenius: An AI-powered real estate ops app that improved document retrieval by 45% and increased project capacity by 70% in six months.

  • Margaritaville: A recipe hub that unified 100+ locations, rolled out new menus 83% faster, and lifted drink profitability by 18%.

These projects aren’t just apps. They’re proof that when you combine Glide’s innovation with a strategic, quality-driven approach, you can create technology that doesn’t just launch: it transforms how companies work and grow.

To the Glide team and this community: you’ve been part of every step. We’re proud of what we’ve built together. And we’re already looking ahead.

Here’s to the next 350.

Jesus and Thinh, you two are the only two at Low code Agency whom I “know". I’ve been a witness to your journey from afar for the past couple is years. I admire many people in the Glide community for their professional achievements and how they help everyone grow collectively, and you two are among those people. Congratulations and thank you for everything you do.

Thanks for the kind words @eltintero @nathanaelb @NFNHello .

Glide was a truly a life-changing moment for me.

I was just months away from pursuing a Masters degree in the Netherlands before Jesus contacted back in 2020 (and then the pandemic hit). Was just browsing and commenting on this forum with the likes of @Jeff_Hager or @Robert_Petitto .

Probably I have built 50-100 apps myself or so during the past half a decade (wow), and had the chance to help countless people in here. I always consider that a privilege being resourceful from half the world away from most of you.

It warms my heart to know that I can help people, whether it be my clients or fellow devs, to achieve a life better than they had previously. Seeing the real value my work has on people will always be the light to keep me up everyday.

Thank you again.

Inspiring to see you both @ThinhDinh, @eltintero and LowCode grow over the years.
Best wishes always - until you reach 1000 :sweat_smile:… then please retire, purchase a :motor_boat: and leave some projects for others :clinking_glasses:
