Your Glide wishlist for 2024 šŸŖ„

  • The ability to copy & paste component between screens when the data doesn’t match (currently if a data element is screwy, it just won’t paste the element)
  • The ability to copy screens between apps.
  • A component to click and open attachments in multiple files fields (currently have to use a custom Javascript column → HTML → Rich Text component)
  • A column for dicebear.com or similar default avatars

Also merge Glide Tables and Big Tables into single product that has the scalability of Big Tables and power of Glide Tables :wink:

I was gonna say the same thing.

I just want dark mode in our apps, not just the editor. That’s it.

We would love to be able to publish our apps to Google Play and Apple Store without having to use wrappers.

It seems not the direction Glide wants to pursue anymore. They want to focus on internal apps.

Conditional Formatting.

Actually ignore my last comment about conditional formatting being what I want most. I was of the belief Glide created native apps that could be uploaded to app stores. That’s a deal breaker for me so I will be looking at other platforms.

Hello:

Desire

More UI components, button alternatives, a list collection component that allows more than 4 visible fields and being able to customize the menu sidebar with sub menu, collapsible, etc.

More letter fonts and color options.

I know it can be done in the business plan with CSS but it would be great to not have to write any code to achieve a more personalized look.

It is also highly appreciated that Glide is precisely fast to learn and create thanks to not having all those ā€œdistractionsā€ of the front end, but what if you could have two modes: Creative and fast classic Glide…hahaha good wishes.

It would be nice, and thinking about it, actions everywhere !!

I’m pretty new to Glide, but this is the internet so I will not let knowledge stand in the way of me sharing an opinion! :wink:

My Wishlist would currently be

More UI elements
Including a Slider for number inputs, more list formats, additional chart options and some sort of collapsible/accordion div

A little more flexibility on presentation
Even just a second accent colour would go along was as would more consistency on when background colours can be used or better use of containers.

Custom collections inside containers
Actually, this probably should be at the top my my list. Combined with the inflexibility of collections, this is quite frustrating.

More control over page meta
Friendlier URLs, override page titles, set index status, set canonical and page description. I know the focus is internal tools, but URLs aside those seem like very easy wins.

I think there is something else around computed fields… but I’m not saying it aloud until I have ruled out me just being dumb!

You can do this by setting page slugs/titles at the tab level under Options->Navigation.

The slug only gives you part of it doesn’t it? I still get row IDs. For page titles, I was thinking being able to drop fields in too.

Yeah, the slug just applies to the top level tabs. RowIDs are used once you start drilling down into collection details screens. Bob Petitto has a good video where he deconstructs the URL structure: šŸ”— Create a deeplink to ANY screen

Do you mean use column values? If yes, you can - click on the three dots.

If I understand it correctly, you can use a field or you can use custom text. I would generally have page titles follow a template. For example, a company page might be something like ā€œ[company name], [descriptor] in [location] : Profile on MyExampleApp.comā€.

I’m going to try doing this by creating extra computed fields, but not done it yet. Feels a bit redundant to have that stored in the database, particularly if you consider multiple page types.

Yep, you can do that. This is what gives you the flexibility to customise the page title on a per-user basis.

Hey everyone!

I would love to see the following in the upcoming releases:

  • Custom icons
  • Supabase integration
  1. we want to get glide multiple images’s individual link on make or zapier.

the specific situation in detail :
we want to make pdf file by uploaded multiple images on glide.
so, we want to use ā€œpdf.coā€ on make or zapier.
To merge images into pdf, pdf.co needs images’ individual link.
plz update this feature.

There is a problem that users’ images are uploaded in a mixed order.
We need ā€œUsers can change the order of the imagesā€
or ā€œImages are uploaded in the order chosen by the user when picking photos on their galleryā€.
Anyway, Images have to be uploaded in order according to the user’s intentions.

if these feature updates, our team will cancel our plan about develop native app.

please… thank you.

Have you tried a Joined List column to get a comma delimited list of urls for the images?
