Ideas to communicate (not send) a common message to all app users:

- Add a tab with the message and use tab visibility that hides all others tabs until the user has trapped on “Okay” or “Next” per something to that effect?
- Notifications: not available yet as far as I know?
- Bulk email/sms: (1) For a public-facing app, prior user opt-in in required (2) The Glide app is not meant for bulk send outs (3) Even if you set up a work around, Glide as far as I know is not an email service provider (ESP) so bulk emails might be blocked by ESP’s and end up in spam boxes?
