Made this app for a used bikes reseller who wanted to list all the options they have on sale along with all details.  
Also, to create a great UX, a tab where a few shortlisted options could be compared with each other for their specs. Achieved this using the favourites button and charts offered in Glide.

Hey Manan, I’ve had a look through the app and I have to say it’s so simple yet effective and so resourceful. Can you tell me how did you build the charts and also the compare tab? I am also trying to build something and would like to brainstorm with you and understand how would you approach my problem. Let me know if you are up for a chat. Here’s my email id - [jmjoyser@ymail.com](mailto:jmjoyser@ymail.com).

With the help of favourites button, I have an inline list of vehicles which are favourited by the user.  
And in case of the charts, the values are filtered by user-specific favourite items. DMed you to get in touch.

how did you manage to add text like kms and cc in the value for the chart, because on my end it only shows whole number no appended text. what is your column settings?

There is an option to add units in the data editor for number columns. Check that out.

Nice and smart APP, I like APPs with charts… no doubt!

It’s so smart that I try to understand your tricks 🤣
