I think there are two questions in your request: one about building an attendance app, the other about monetizing your app by using a SaaS business model. **Building an attendance app** An attendance app is a nice use case for Glide. You could use Google Sheets as a data source as Uzo suggested. Glide Tables, Airtable or Excel would be other possible data sources. Which you choose is a matter of personal preference, of performance (Glide Tables is excellent), of the need for certain features that maybe only an external source might provide. Google Sheets for example might be a good choice if you are proficient in Apps Script, Airtable might be a good choice to leverage the native automations of Airtable, Glide Tables would be a good choice for overall performance and simplicity. **SaaS business model** Natively in Glide, there is no system where you the builder could build an app and sell it against monthly recurring revenue. Other ideas however: build and sell a template, sell a one-time build for a client, sell ongoing maintenance for a client. The following thread is old and some of the ideas are now out of date, but maybe it will give you ideas.
