What exactly can you build with Glide?

Hey fellow no-coders (especially the ones that use Glide !)

I have put together a list of what you can and cannot do Glide, and I'm looking for some feedback to see if my list is complete.

I'm doing this because before I started using it, I looked high and low for a simple and short list of all the features you could build with Glide, and I couldn't find one ! The Glide documentation and the Glide forum are great, but there's a lot of info on there and it can be overwherlming for beginners...

Here's the list :

What you can do with Glide

  • Allow users to create content
  • Allow users to book reservations
  • Basic design customization (eg : change color, add a logo…)
  • Integration with Zapier
  • Tracking with Google Analytics
  • Liking, favoriting, saving other users' content
  • Allow users to buy through the app
  • Make a referral program
  • Hide content from specific users (eg : paywalls)
  • Allow users to create an account

What you can't do with Glide

  • Push Notifications
  • 1 to 1 messaging with other users
  • Activity feed
  • Advanced design personalization (eg : add styles, fonts, etc.)

Have I missed anything ?

PS : In the complete list, I've also added links to the tutorials and templates for the features.

    Thanks for doing this @moniquesexperiments

    What I noticed is that the can list will be getting longer and longer and vice versa the can not list will be shorter and shorter based on future features of Glide

    How often would you update it? And how can we help?

      thanks !
      So far, I plan on updating it as time goes by...
      As for help, I guess just adding new features would be helpful for me and all the people who use Glide :) I just need to make the list editable, I'll let you know when I do if you want !
