Hi Everyone, I genuinely love what Glide have achieved here, but I feel that the Glide team is actively preventing the upgrade to Pro with limitations that treat the users like children that can’t be trusted. I committed that I would upgrade to Pro if my app could play audio across multiple screen…

We don’t limit the use of HTML because we don’t trust you, we do it because custom HTML will likely break Glide apps when we publish them to app stores, which we are beginning to work on. We want to keep the implementation of Glide apps abstract, so we can run them on other platforms beside web. Pl…

Thanks @david for the quick reply. Respectfully, it wouldn’t be difficult to prevent publishing apps on non-Web platforms (or at all) if they are using the “Custom HTML” component.

Richard, Please let me know if you find a way to let audio play across tabs or in a playlist format. This is the biggest restriction I’m currently facing with my app. My users are requesting this functionality but I haven’t been able to find a steady fix. An enhanced audio component could take many…
