Meet the new Glide Apps 🌟

You can create a CSS countdown, but only in Apps… in Pages, the only thing that I can suggest is a GIF countdown, but you will have to make separate GIFs for each time period.

That’s exactly the sort of context I was hoping for. Thanks @Xavier_Delplanque.

It will soon be able to do this, yes.

I’m looking forward to this.

This is something I could use for my new build. The stopwatch feature would be useful for production management use cases that need to keep track of time being spent on each phase of production. Such as for cooking, stakeholders would find it useful to have a stopwatch.

Thanks Andy.
As you asked, I opened a new feature request here :

Stopwatch in Glide Apps

@NoCodeAndy I’m following here the discussion started here Hi all, Stopwatch is not longer supported in Glide Apps. The main reason is that it wasn’t used much so far : We don’t see a lot of projects using it, so we didn’t put it on our shortlist for conversion. Why is that? Is it due to a lack of use cases ? Apps that I use everyday have one : Sport coaching apps use it to time bound exercices. Games or Quizzes use it to measure the performance finishing a level. I could find more …

Seems like great progress generally and it’s so good to see you guys constantly develop this. As someone with a “Classic” app that I’m continuously working on, I’d just like to add support for the conversion tool as soon as possible. Clearly if it’s going to take a long time to have the ability to convert, then I would contemplate rebuilding from scratch, but would much rather avoid that…

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

[NoCodeAndy]

@c7y - We’ll soft launch the conversion tool this spring. There’ll be caveats at first, but those will get smoothed out. We’re working to make it a seamless transition by the end of the year.

Classic Apps will remain available for their existing users.

Hi @Robert_Petitto
thanks for responding, do you know when this feature will be available?
as long as this feature is not available my application work is stopped.

[Robert_Petitto]

Not sure. I imagine very soon. Maybe by the end of the month or beginning of April hopefully. I know Glide is actively working on it.

Hello,

Looking for guidance on sharing a link that opens to the Mobile Preview with the QR code. The draft app that I created brought users directly to this view. When sharing the link for the actual app the link only brings users to the page.
Any guidance is very appreciated!

Share and Publish

QR codes are easy to generate. They just point to the url of the app. You can copy the QR image from the Share button in the top right corner of the builder, or you can use any website that generates QR codes from text, such as a url.

will we be able to turn off the group limits on the screen (Show More Groups) (Show Previous Groups)
its not very user friendly for users to keep clicking on this to browse hundreds of rows that are grouped

[Robert_Petitto]

I was wondering the same thing. I don’t think so, but It’d be nice if we could.

[Jim_McIntosh]

Great job. Im sure this strategy has been a long tim in the making. Im looking forward to digging in again.

[ThinhDinh]

Would love to welcome you back, Jim!

I had a classic app that I created (Conference Program App), and my colleague and I have just re-created it in the new version since we didn’t have time to wait for the migrator.

However, we cannot find the Favorites function anywhere. Does this exist in the new version? If so, can you tell me where?

And if not, where is the user data stored so that we can make up our own filter for the user to find their favorite workshops to attend from the list?

(Conference is next week- we’re desparate.) Thanks!!

[Jeff_Hager]

A user specific boolean column and a switch component works pretty much so the exact same thing that the favorites component did.

[kabookie]

Here is how I solved for Favorites in New Apps (prev. Pages)

[paul3463]

Can I ask why you are not planning to include the link relation in the new App format? I use this quite a lot (see screenshot). Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by the link relation. I hope so.

Thanks

I hope this feature will be available in one to two days, hopefully
