Weird… no idea why. Will investigate. ---

@Lisa This app is not owned by me or the Glide team. The reason it says Jack is that someone hasn’t changed the name of the author. Sorry I can’t be of more help. I’m aware you didn’t intentionally let go of that URL so may have been a glitch on our end. ---

Hi @Lisa, wonderful app. I am curious - how have you built the follow/unfollow performed in this app, is it with the @Lucas_Pires @Robert_Petitto trebuchet method? I am trying to understand the best way to configure a similar inapp many to many relation. Not sure what is the most efficient way to go about it. ---

Harry, I just made a simple User Specific Boolean column in my Users sheet and added a “Follow Me” Switch on a User’s Profile. I also added a Tab for “Following” to display an Inline List of all Users with a Filter “Follow User is True”. From the Tab, you can view all the User profiles you follow in a list, view their details and then turn off the switch (Unfollow) to remove the user from your Following List. ---

Hey @Harry_OBrien if you wanna do this follow/following feature also seeing who’s following/followers, yes, you can do it with trebuchet method as I showed here > [@Trebuchet Method link](https://community.glideapps.com/t/trebuchet-method/25477): > > [image] ---

@Joe_Gabriele I have something similar already however I am looking for the reverse relationship also - the ability to find all users who follow a person. I think the trebuchet is the right method for this? Guess I will go learn it now, thank you both! ---

Hi @Lucas_Pires @Lisa , thank you for the great app. I am wondering when we should use between the Trebuchet method (not an easy one…) and the Lisa’s one. Do you have ideas in terms of limitations comparison? Thanks ---

I can’t speak to the methods that Lisa used, but yes, you can use the Trebuchet method for follow/unfollow. ---

The trebuchet method wasn’t a thing when I released this version but you can definitely use the method for following and unfollowing. ---

In my experience, trebuchet works well when you’re working with a large number of relationships (following/unfollowing or post tags) because you’ll save a lot more rows in the process versus the standard method of creating a record for every item. For items like tags and follows where you don’t need display much information - aside from a relationship to a record - I feel like trebuchet works well for mostly everything. Except for items like chat messages for instance. I know someone in the community posted about doing the trebuchet method with comments but I never saw the backend. ---

Thanks for clarifying Lisa. Glad we had this discussion here, for those who are new to glide it will certainly help. I also saw that post using trebuchet for chat and comments. I believe this is it (created by @PabloMFalero and @SantiagoPerez) [Chat and Comments using the Trebuchet Method](https://community.glideapps.com/t/chat-and-comments-using-the-trebuchet-method/25396) Curious to see how it’s done ---
