Hi Gliders, After several days of working through the kinks, I’m sharing my first public app, Glidegram! Instagram The Glide team has been so consistent with new features, I wanted to create a social media app using some, if not all, of the newest releases. The app has the following features: Direct messaging (private chat and chat requests) Following (favorites) Carousel posts Post comments Archiving posts Activity (or ‘notifications’) section Saving posts Reporting users I’m looking forward to creating more tailored apps for broader use cases, but this one was a lot of fun.

NEW UPDATED FEATURES! - Follow and unfollow users with follower and following count - Home feed includes posts from accounts followed - "Follow Back" indication for users not...

Excelente app …design fantásticos…Deu um trabalhão…

Awesome app, hopefully glideapps will integrate private messaging as a components soon or a feature since if we create our own chat system using the sheets. Privacy is the number one concern. because we can basically read all their conversations. which is fine if we are only the admins but for multiple administrator / mods I think that will be a concern. I’m doing a similar approach for my community thank you for sharing this wonderful app keep it up :slight_smile:

Beautiful App Lisa, I was wondering if at some time in the feature there would be a share button? Thanks, Chris

Thanks @Chris_Palmore! Can you give more detail on what you mean by share button? What would you envision users being able to share with the button?

Hi Lisa, Thanks for responding. I run Gratitudespace.com. For example, If I were to buy your design, I’d want to make it a positive and gratitude only post place. The design of everything that I post or initiate out into the world is the element of sharing it on other platforms. So for example, if someone shared a picture of a handwritten letter to someone, they then would share it with that person or post it on the persons social media feed on twitter or Facebook. Basically what Facebook and Instagram do right now. I’ve thought about this and maybe this isn’t possible because you are using spreadsheets and not individual URLs. I’m curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks, Chris I did build this today and love it: https://lnqqa.glideapp.io/ Amazing software you all have produced!

Thanks Chris, I think what you’re describing is deep linking, and you’re right - at this time Glide does not have that functionality. However, this is on the team’s road map. There are a few threads out there about this, but here is one: [image] Direct URLs to search specific screens @Lighted_Candle: Just for the record I am not trying to build a Facebook or Amazon in Glide, nor even an Airbnb (though this has been done on a small scale already as proof of concept). I’m using Glide right now as an MVP. It may stay in Glide, it may not. I think I’m right in saying that Google introduced the concept of a PWA and one of the key tenets of a PWA is discoverability via deep links. Glide is selling itself as a PWA, only it isn’t fully. I think you are contradicting yourself as …

Hello Lisa, Great work, I really like the design and features you added ! I’m trying out glide for some app :slight_smile: And I would like to add a direct message functionnality. Could you share what you have done here or explain it a little bit further (I’m not really technichal, sorry) Thank you for your time and, again, great work !

Thank you @Paquerette! See the thread below for a video tutorial I did on creating 1:1 chat. [image] Need help on creating private chat Still getting used to Loom grin Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot ! I didn’t see this other topic :blush:

This is really well done! Thanks for sharing!
