Glide

Glide is a web-based no-code app builder that specializes in creating progressive web apps from your existing data. Think of it as a bridge between your spreadsheets and professional software applications. The platform takes your data from sources like Google Sheets, Airtable, or Excel and automatically generates a beautiful app interface around it.

Each row in your spreadsheet becomes a record in your app, while columns become data fields that users can interact with. Glide apps work seamlessly across all devices - phones, tablets, and computers - without requiring downloads from app stores.

The platform includes powerful features like AI integration, workflow automation, and advanced data visualization. From simple inventory trackers to complex customer management systems, Glide can handle various business needs while maintaining professional design standards and ensuring data security.

Getting started with Glide is straightforward and requires no technical background. First, visit glideapps.com and create a free account or start building immediately with a template. You can either connect your existing Google Sheets, Excel files, or Airtable databases, or start from scratch using Glide's built-in tables.

Here's the step-by-step process:

• Choose your data source: Connect existing spreadsheets or create new tables within Glide

• Select a template: Pick from hundreds of pre-designed app templates or start with a blank canvas

• Customize your design: Use the drag-and-drop editor to arrange components like forms, lists, charts, and buttons

• Configure features: Add functionality like user authentication, data filtering, search capabilities, and workflows

• Test your app: Preview your app across different devices to ensure everything works perfectly

• Publish and share: Generate a shareable link or QR code to distribute your app instantly

The platform remembers your preferences and allows real-time collaboration with team members. Most apps can be built and published within hours rather than weeks.
