Hi. I am a DJ and would like to create an app that allows guests (at a party) to log a song request (name of song and artist) and a short message. If you have built this app, PLEASE send me your template! Many tx.
There is no ready-made DJ song request template on the official Glide template store, but it should be fairly straightforward to build this, I assume as a public application.
For a simple song request app, you can use a Glide Table with columns like this:
| Song Name | Artist | Message | Submitted By | Timestamp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uptown Funk | Bruno Mars | Play this please! | Alice | 2025-07-04 20:10:00 |
| Shape of You | Ed Sheeran | For the bride | Bob | 2025-07-04 20:12:00 |
Building the Public Form
- In your Glide project, add a new table with the columns above.
- On your main screen, add a “Form” button.
- Configure the Form to write to your Song Requests table.
- Add entry fields for Song Name, Artist, Message and optionally, Name.
- Use special values to capture current timestamp automatically.
Displaying the Collection
- Add a Collection/List component to your app, linked to the Song Requests table.
- Sort by Timestamp (descending) so the newest requests appear first.
- Display Song Name, Artist, and Message in each list item.
Thank you so much for the response and advice. Would you be able to quote me to build this? Please send quote to dj@musicmachine.co.za
Many tx.
Here’s a template in Glide staging to show you how it can look like.
