Hi Everyone. We are an active Airtable and Stacker user, and have reached a block with the delay in Airtable to Stacker sync. Thus, our reason to explore Glidetables as an alternative to Airtable, and then use Glide App and Pages for the interface. Some questions: Is GT really an alterantive t…

In terms of hosting data in tables, I would say Glide Tables and Airtable are very similar. In terms of the ability to perform automation on the data, without a third party like Zapier or Make, I would say Airtable is more advanced than Glide Tables. The actions available in Glide are more limited …

Glide Tables are just another data source to hold data. They hold data, just like Airtable does. I wouldn’t consider it a direct replacement though, as airtable has a lot of their own features. I’m not familiar with Stacker, but based on the way you explain it, I would say that Glide Apps/Pages a…

To think of it, I wonder if a strong automation part, like Glide Actions or Glide Automations, might be the missing pillar. I don’t know how others see it, but I think most simple nocode products sit on a three-legged stool: front-end for display, backend for data/tables, automations/actions so the…

Hi @David_Gabler , as you’re an Ambassador : ) any comments or suggestion on my mention of: The sync delay really does create an issue as we have lots of apps which are linked.

Hi @Khuned_Sachdev , I am not sure what I can add that would not be better explained by or looked into by either a Glide Certified Expert (of which I am not) or Glide Support. My thoughts would only be based on my general knowledge of programming principles. For example, I’ve never seen an applicat…

Here’s something from weeks ago where we talked about the technical limitation of the Airtable API and where we seem to be at now with Airtable syncing.
