Hello everyone, Yesterday I decided to build something different with Glide, inspired by my “sandbox” app ([minimakerlabs.glideapp.io](http://minimakerlabs.glideapp.io)). After a quick planning session and some design work, I have the first app done and 3 more coming soon. I won’t share the app just now because the login system is not ready (related email lists can cause some trouble and requires planning), but I will share some screenshots and work to get that login ready as soon as possible. Hope you like it, let me know if you have any questions! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/f/f5b13495278e6d621cbce086ceb1f29d63511962.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/6ffa7b288a179eea3c12f8c121d60b1c8d8208d5.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/38ea2d4fda8755c682026e8b64d71a5866a451b1.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/efea49e167a1be4aab71f748fec1916874d00aac.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/f/f97018d806f668e8c63c1dcf64360b96dfed5f08.jpeg) ---

@ionamol, this looks really interesting. I clicked on your link but didn’t find anything. So, just to make sure I understand… it’s a Glide app filled with mini glide apps inside? It’s awesome! Do you have an update yet? 😀 ---

Hi @emilio, thanks!! Sorry for the link, I updated the app name/url and forgot to change it here, I’m using [https://thelab.glideapp.io/](https://thelab.glideapp.io/) now. This is not the slide OS but a playground where I test some stuff before implementing on Slide OS. You got it, is a glide app with mini-apps, I’m finishing the 3rd mini-app, Contacts, after some time “offline”. I am planning to create another 10 apps before publishing the link, but I hope the next ones will be ready more quickly. Some of them must be social network webviews and others will be more complex apps. ---

Hello Gliders! I just started a new job as Head of Product Design and because of that I was a little bit away from the Glide Community. That ends now (I hope 🤞)! Inspired by the compliments here I spent some time working on Slide OS yesterday and I want to share the result. 5 New Apps! Phone, Contacts, Facebook, Google & Photos ![IMG_5751.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/559ace2abdc795b4f7eaee838d02c07dcc97d359.jpeg) Phone App: Just type the number and click Call! ![IMG_5752.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/74dc2b77582d7a160ee713ea8a6280ce7aca3003.jpeg) Contacts App: Share/Edit your own information and add/edit/share your Contacts informations. ![IMG_5753.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/d/d860461f9a716f5cb100cb9a0dd7a036028a1555.jpeg) ![IMG_5754.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/b/b943eaf0c1c87fc903d0dd12306bc2813968381a.jpeg) You can even pay me using my paypal link and my custom payment successful page (using Glide Webview) 😃 ![IMG_5758.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/e076ff971d761352829b4948fe8e68107f9130fa.jpeg) ![IMG_5759.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/6/69d364be1a168b76198146a57f5c70ee7f99c4cd.jpeg) Photos App: Upload images with date and caption and create your own albums! ![IMG_5764.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/51854cfa7c36ac389ab9a7fc7a5ea09e57ef6e03.jpeg) ![IMG_5766.PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/8/80c345c12e64afb95fb775d13b3459b907ee923c.jpeg) Roadmap: - I need to finish some user flows for the Contacts app and Photos app (submit new items) - SimpleCal: Calculator app for simple math operations between 2 numbers and margin/mark up calculation - Caster: Podcast app, I will try to use rss to keep my app updated. - News: I will try to use some news api and deliver the latest news for the categories that the user has selected - Game: I’m think if it is possible to create a game using glide, a trivia game would be cool. If I can’t do it, I will try to "integrate"a simple game using webview. I’m also planning to write about that project (Thanks for motivating me @david). What would you like to know about this project? Much more to come! Let me know what do you think! ---

@ionamol your progress is amazing! I surely wanna see more about it! Keep on it! (Btw I’m also Brazilian lol) Speaking of which, my “business card app” I have 24 games integrated in it to the people have fun. I don’t if it’s the way you were thinking about it, but take a look on it.

Hey @Lucas_Pires, I will stick to english (even if I made mistakes sometimes) so the other users can understand. Your app looks cool, I will certainly do something like it for Slide OS but what I was wondering is if it is possible to create a game using only gsheets (and glide). A trivia game is probably easy to create, I’m thinking about building one with a multiplayer ranking and maybe badges (just had the idea and thought that sound really cool). Thanks for your tip and kind words! ---

Hey @Christophe_HK, thank you!! Wich icons are you talking? The app icons are just images displayed as tiles and the telephone, letter and chains are default in glide when you display a phone, email and link with the corespondent action.
