Glide Tutorial (app building, but tragedy strikes)

 


The first thing Glide will do is ask that you log in with Google. It will take you to this screen, select "new app". 

At this point, I knew I wanted to create a basic app, I pressed the "basic app" button. 
On the lefthand side of your screen, you'll see this black "+" button...



...pressing the button will give you many options, I chose to explore the AI "custom build" option









Begin by telling AI what kind of app you'd like to create and what you'd like your app to look like. Here you can see the prompt and the output. I knew I wanted my app to be clearer though and this basic version gave no place to input tasks. I refined my prompt (below) and you can see how it changed the app interface. 






Here I learned that it doesn't matter how many details you give the Glide AI, it can really only handle one task at a time-- the tasks that were listed under me asking for it to include a place for a link were ignored. 

Once I liked where my app was, I hit publish. You're able to change the URL of your app (as it's also accessible by website)


And here is where tragedy strikes! A knife to the heart-- I hadn't realized it was a pay based subscription. 


Regardless, there's your tutorial :)
