šŸ†• UPDATED Glidegram - social media app (follow/unfollow, unread messages & more)

That sounds about right. I have the same logic in my Upvote template:

Though I have to say, Lisa’s layout is prettier. @Lisa, are your following/followers display inline list tiles?

Thank you!

No, I didn’t use the favorite/Boolean because it is limited as you said.

It would have been a lot easier to roll up favorites but until then, this is a result of a separate sheet with a relation to the public profile of the follower and a few math columns to count the follow when the user hasn’t unfollowed them.

Someone put a thread about rolling up user specific columns but I haven’t had time to view it just yet.

Thanks Bob! I used the button bar for the followers/following display

Nice. Do the button link to the list of followers/following?

Yep

@Lisa is this updated version available for copy/duplication?

How do you manage viewing your followers? Is it an appending of a join column?

The buttons link to ā€œThis itemā€ screen with an inline list of public profiles, filtered by a join list column of the user’s followers/following

Right! That’s what I was thinking…so, is unfollowing (and then refollowing) possible then?

Absolutely, I have a formula to account for following and unfollowing

Awesome…but what about the following?

How do you handle unfollow? Do you delete the relationship row in the UserToUser Sheet? Or do you have a column in that sheet that marks that relationship now invalid eg. ā€œDelete=Trueā€?

Right. I have ā€œunfollowingā€ capabilities on my group chat template BUT it’s really just a filter that never allows the user to ā€œrebelongā€ the chat.

What do you mean about ā€œthe followingā€? I follow and unfollow in the video and I get removed as a follower. The same would happen with the following count and show me as no longer following the user if I unfollowed them, and add me back if I follow them back.

For the following view:

That’s amazing. Can’t wait to purchase your new template!

I’m stumped on how you track other people who follow you or how you can see other people who follow someone you follow …unless there’s one row per follower?

This is so genius! Oh! I am amazed. I can`t wait for the template to be ready. Glide team, please hurry!
Thank you so much Lisa, this helps me so much.

I made something similar in my Ritual app, but confess with button bar now it goes to another level :star_struck: :fire:

Well, thinking better I don’t know what you did to see followers and following of another user… that’s tricky! :anguished:
