Just out of curiosity, what do you think would be the main things that make it impossible in Glide?
I actually started building a golf scoring app a while back, but because it’s a personal project I struggled to find time to work on it and I had to put it aside. One of these days I’ll get back to it and finish it off. Here are a few screen shots to give you an idea of how far I got with it…
Whilst there are Google Sheets in the back end, that’s only used for data storage. All data is displayed and manipulated using Glide functionality.
Separately, I have a Fantasy Golf app. This one is actively used with around 300-400 users participating every week. Again, Google Sheets are used for data storage and there is some App Script used for fetching and updating the player scores in real time. But other than that, there are zero formulas or calculations done in the Google Sheet, and everything is displayed using Glide components. Here’s a few screen shots of that one:
As well as weekly realtime leaderboards for both golfers and the fantasy pool, the app has the results of every PGA Tour event for the past 3 years, as well as a database of every golfer that’s played on the PGA Tour for the past 3 years (602 in total), along with their event by event results.
Every user has access to their entire history - which players they picked in every event in the past, and how they finished. Users can create their own personal private leaderboards, and there is a bunch of other functionality.
Once again, whilst Google Sheets is used for data storage, all of the data manipulation and presentation is done in Glide.
So yes, I think it’s certainly possible to create a golf scoring app in Glide, for as many golfers as you like - and keep all of the logic and presentation within Glide
