Here is a quick tip for others who are frustrated when the site you are trying to display will not load in webview. ![txt-articles](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/3/53feeee1fa8849329060855381b3285acf31580a.gif) Here is what you do. Go to [https://txtify.it/](https://txtify.it/) and plug your URL that won’t load in. It will strip out the text. The way to get this to work inside your app is simple. Create a Template column and place in it [https://txtify.it/URL](https://txtify.it/URL) Create a second column with your URLs and replace URL in the template column with the link column. Now you have the ability for your users to read the articles. I also place a link to the article outside of the app as well… ![txt](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/8/78efb0ebca0ab348f46c4c05cb8fbce0276a441a.png) hope this helps someone out there! ---

Thanks for sharing! I have been wondering if we can somehow detect via the YC column if a webview can’t be displayed and just hide that component altogether… ---
