Hello! I’m David, CEO of Glide. Here’s a picture of the founders of Glide, I’m the one with the arrows: ![IMG_20190321_094716](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/1X/7d6ed8d6e457e1770eb6038b2a4c87533fafba87.jpeg) I grew up in Minnesota, and studied Philosophy and Computer Engineering in school. I [recorded a podcast](https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-my-side-project-31134912/episode/glide-david-siegel-33259430/) where I explain the origin of Glide and why we’re doing it. When I’m not working on Glide, I like to: - Ride my bike around San Francisco - Hike around beaches and forests - Swim, especially in natural water - Read books by David Deutsch, Borges, Wodehouse - Listen to music—especially dubstep while sweating on the elliptical these days - Talk in a baby voice to dogs - Drink wine with friends and discuss [ethical & personal issues posed by technology](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYzkZLWj3zw) Happy to be here with all of you! ---

Glad to hear I’m not the only one living in SF! Also, didn’t you quit Microsoft to create Glide? You have to have a lot of guts to do that! 🤩 ---

Hi, have you tried making an app from a sample spreadsheet? Do you need help or you want to explore things yourself first? Feel free to let us know. ---

Hi ThinhDinh, I am trying to make a Driver Matching app with Glide , meaning I have a Group of Hirer’s ( Taxi ) and I also have another Group of Partners ( Relief’s and Super Relief’s) and I would to allow each group member find a partner in the other group. I also want to limit the number of parrtners paired not more than 1. Meaning 1 hirer and 1 Relief can be paired , if a second hirer wants to join I set the rule not to be able to pair. Can you suggest the tools I can use within Glide to be able to create this. ---

I’m thinking you can have a setup like this. Have a Profiles sheet with the Roles column populated with “Hirer” and “Partner”. In the “Find a match” tab in the app, you show profiles that have a Roles column that is not the signed-in user’s role. Which means Hirers can only see Partners and vice versa. Then have a “match” sheet to store a form submission. If a hirer wants to match with a partner/relief, then a form will collect both emails. Then you make a relation of the email to the “Match” sheet. If a Partner/Relief has that relation as a “Not empty”, then hide the form button. ---
