Hi All. I have another potential client who wants a solution whereby some users utilise a mobile app and others utilise a “desktop web app”. These apps would share the same backend. For me, Glide is a no-brainer for the mobile element (clearly) however the desktop side is a little more tricky. Gli…

I have got a user app and an agent app (call center). I’ve now set up both to open on tablet/desktop if available. The agent app is meant to be desktop (but it’s also used as a tablet app). It’s usable, though not a great use of screen real estate unless you play with css. The user app was planne…

Hi @Mark_Turrell - Yes I have been round that “loop” several times and can certainly create a desktop app but, as you say, the UI is quite compromised. The authentication is also an issue when building a “web portal” rather than a “desktop web app”, the difference being that the latter can be “insta…

Hello, I have been waiting since August 2020 to be able to manage the desktop mode. I saw in the staging a beginning of evolution, the tabs in general at the bottom have moved to the top, I find that a good idea. I would just like to have the option to place a detail style tab in the target on th…

I have made sure my Agent app users have chrome as much as possible as you can ‘install’ a PWA with chrome and run it as an app. That works fine :slight_smile:

Yes, but I am finding clients who don’t want to do that (install Chome PWA) for a whole pile of reasons (not that I agree) including - not allowed to use Chrome, not secure enough (one time auth), non-static user profile and ability to login from remote devices.

I agree. With most development projects there are tradeoffs, and sometimes the client changes their mind anyway. The challenge of a mixed environment is how to get at the data from different apps. Google Sheets is not a brilliant common source of data, so we begin to need SQL or some other database.…

@david Will, we be seeing any developments to the tablet and desktop functionality soon? How can we raise capital to speed up some of these builds? The parts that would be most useful out the gate: 1.Ability to customize tablet and desktop builds 2. Ability to show/hide components based on viewpo…

Hi all, just curious if there’s been any updates to this? Glide is really such a great tool for mobile that it would be really convenient if it could also be viewable on desktop. Thanks in advance!

You should see something new in 4-6 weeks.

Thanks @david ! I love Glide but due to the desktop situation, started working on the logic on Airtable but if something is coming in about 2 months, I’ll ditch Airtable completely and switch over to Glide tables ASAP! Looking forward to it!
