A really big fan of Glide 1.0. 2.0 is looking really sleek and THANK YOU for making a faster data editor. The move makes more sense, keeps data in-house, gives you more control, and love that it's open-source. Congrats ?makers! Might have to brainstorm some ideas so I have an excuse to use 2.0.
David Siegel
@gabe__perez Thank you, Gabe!

The inventory tracker by Glide looks interesting! ?makers can it handle (or can we customize it to handle) multiple warehouses/locations where items are stored? For example, I might have 100 pieces of a certain SKU in Warehouse A and 500 pieces of that same SKU in Warehouse B.
David Siegel
@anna_0x Yes! You would use a multi-relation for this.
Anna Filou
@dvdsgl ooh nice! Is there a tutorial that explains how that works?
Natalie Karakina
Do you have the Stories option in your builder? We embed Stories in any apps. Maybe, it will be a nice collaboration 🚀
David Siegel
@nataliekarakina We do not! We'll take a look at your product to see if we could add it 👍

I've been a fan of Glide for a long while now and with each iteration, it seems to be getting 10x more powerful, easy to use and fun to build with. Excited to bring forth and share the redesigned Glide 2.0 with the PH audience :) Impressed by the set of features this new release unlocks which include major enhancements to the app builder, team collaboration (magic links etc), and tons of new templates for business use-cases.
David Siegel
@thisiskp_ Thank you for your support! It was a blast working on ODNC1 together.
Janel
Glide was the first no-code tool I used and I’m still enthralled by how easy it is to build complex, useful apps on it :) congrats Glide team!
David Siegel
@janelsgm Thanks, Janel!

Hola, PH! 👋 I'm David, CEO & co-founder of Glide. I'm so happy to share Glide 2.0 with you today. This is the result of a year of feedback from our awesome community, lessons from thousands of customers, and the joyful work of the entire Glide team. (If you're new to Glide: Glide creates web apps from Google Sheets, without code. The apps are optimized for phones & tablets and can be shared with a link. Users have created apps for everything from neighborhood composting clubs, to last-mile delivery of international freight.) Headline Features of Glide 2.0: 📐 Redesigned App Builder—we completely redesigned our app builder so you can build apps for larger screens and more easily work with data. 🖥 Tablet Layout—apps now feel more natural on more devices. This large-screen layout works on laptops, desktops, and the web. 👯‍♀️ Teams—create a team and add unlimited collaborators, for free. 🤖 Action Editor allows you to build multi-step action sequences with logic-based branching. 🧮 Glide Tables, our first data source beyond Google Sheets, is faster and more scalable than Google Sheets. You can still build apps using Google Sheets, but now they're optional. ⚡️ 10x Faster Data Editor—our built-in spreadsheet editor is much faster and fully open-source. 🧑‍💼 Try Apps for Work—we worked with our business customers to build apps specifically for their needs, and made those apps free for anyone to copy. Copying one starts a 14-day trial of Glide's business tier, no credit card required. There are many other improvements to apps, team collaboration, and templates. Visit glideapps.com/2.0 for the full list. We hope you enjoy Glide 2.0, and build an amazing app for work, for good, or just for fun 😉 Thank you! David & The Glide Team PS: Our focus for the next year is to enable more data sources like Excel and Airtable, and to significantly improve our web & desktop layouts. Please share your feedback on our community forum and stay tuned!
David Siegel
@eugenehp Thanks a lot! And simpler than both of those, we hope ;)
Ken Savage
@dvdsgl congrats on the launch. You’ve got a nice list of features but what are the benefits of using Glide? Do you have a page I can look at with case studies to figure out how I can apply this to my business?
David Siegel
@kensavage Thank you! Yes, check out these common business uses of Glide, and a customer video explaining the benefits: https://www.glideapps.com/for-work
Carlos Marchan
@dvdsgl Hi David! Congratulations on the launch! I was wondering when will PDF creating capabilities possible in the platform?
David Siegel
@carlos_marchan Hey Carlos! We have some ideas for how to do this—it was a stretch goal for Q2 but we will likely not do it until end of this year.

I have personally used the Glide tool. But now the addition of team feature is the most helpful addition to the toolbox. Collaborating with colleagues and friends over an entrepreneurial idea is really innovative. The only thing that makes me wonder, is there any specific option to chat with my teammates and actually discuss potential inputs before bringing in the final change ?
Ruben Wolff
This looks very nice and clean. With all these features, does the app remain intuitive and easy to use?
David Siegel
@rubenwolff Thank you! Does Glide itself remain intuitive and easy? Yes, that's our goal.
Julian Paul
One of my favorite MVP prototyping tools just go tan awesome update! Do you support releasing Glide Apps to the Apple App store yet? I can't seem to find information on this sadly and it's a feature I have really been waiting for!
Girdharee Saran
Look great! I hope this integration can help me create apps, powerful new features for our app builder, collaboration features for teams, and new templates designed for work.
David Siegel
@giri yes, it can help with exactly that ;D
Kavir Kaycee
Glide's been my go-to app to build anything in no-code. I've used it for projects ranging from customer support to mental health to helping with resources during India's second wave of COVID-19. Love the 2.0 update @dvdsgl and looking forward to exploring it further 🔥
David Siegel
@kavirkaycee wow, thank you for the support, Kavir! Your apps are an inspiration to us all.

Glide is one of the fastest and most reliable ways to build high-quality apps without code! I have met over 30 experts that build with Glide on daily bases and for them it is a tool of choice to build mobile experiences. I hope more companies will understand how transformational it could be to replace their legacy set-ups with a fresh & fast Glide app 👀 Exited for this update and def love the layout!
David Siegel
@the_andriy_bond Thank you, Andrew! 🙏
Guido Arata
@dvdsgl gorgeous! I would like to try it on a real app I have to develop, but I must be able to send push notifications to each user device. In my v1 version of the app (made using Ionic Framework) I used firebase plus php sdk to trigger the push notification send to a specific device id. Any idea on how can I reproduce this thing using Glide? Thanks
Stanislas Verjus-Lisfranc
Do we really need to say something about the most amazing No-Code tools of the century ? Thanks for all your work and what you are doing with Glide ;) You are the best team ever
Jack Vaughan
@stanislas_verjus you're the best 😉

Can't say more good things about Glide that's not already been said here on this wall of love! This tool is one of the first tools that took me from an ideas guy to a maker, and I'm so excited to see this new version empower more current and future makers!
