Some great examples are an internal issue tracking software and an expense reporting tool.Turnkey development platform to cover the entire app lifecycleĪn extensive team of international and highly skilled developers organized by technology:įocused to build a solid cross-platform, scalable and secured infrastructure to face over 40 Millions mobile apps and Hundreds of Thousands users connections, our developers ensure the evolution of platform's technologies following latest mobile app industry standards.
These apps usually don't require very scalable databases or complex features. Internal company toolsīuilding out internal company tools to help improve workflow/processes is another great use case for these kind of apps. Aside from the obvious cost benefits, the speed at which you can iterate on user feedback is such a powerful thing when it comes to building an MVP. If Glide supports the features you are looking for, it makes a lot of sense to build out an early MVP due to the ease of iteration. When should I use Glide or other no code solutions?Īlthough there are some limitations when it comes to components available, I think the best use cases for these type of apps are: Early MVPs to test concepts with beta users I'm sure some of these technical limits are also due to the fact that they are using Google Sheets as the backend and will likely be mitigated once they introduce other backend solutions (such as Airtable or a custom backend they host). As of writing, they are also limited to refresh rates of up to 3 minutes (meaning it could take up to 3 minutes for your app to show new data), so any real-time features (such as a live chat) would likely not work well using Glide. There are also a few technical limitations such as the limit of 25,000 rows per Google Sheet (so in theory, you could only store 25,000 posts in your Instagram app). If you wanted to create a 1:1 private messaging system you would have to wait for Glide to come out with a component for it (which I'm sure they will). However, this chat component is a general chat with everyone that has the app and not a 1:1 private messaging system that Instagram has. For example, if you look at this Instagram templatethat they have, you can see that there is a "chat" section at the bottom right. Glide can't do absolutely everything and beyond the components you are given, you can't really customize more than the colors, text and layout. Why isn't everybody using Glide to build their apps? Since Glide is a no code tool that uses Google Sheets as a database, there are some limitations in what you can build.
So what's the catch? What are the limitations? In theory, you could even create your own version of Instagram using Glide (with some caveats that we'll mention below).
