Project Overview:

A To-Do List App using Glide is a mobile-friendly application built with Glide, a no-code/low-code platform that allows developers to quickly create dynamic apps using Google Sheets as a backend. This project focuses on providing a clean, intuitive interface where users can add, edit, view, and delete tasks, enabling efficient task management on the go.

Key Features:

1. Task Management:
   Users can add new tasks, mark tasks as completed, and delete tasks from the list.
2. Task Categories:
   Tasks can be categorized (e.g., Personal, Work, Errands), making it easier to manage different types of tasks.
3. Dynamic List Views:
   The app supports different views such as:
   • All Tasks View – Displays all tasks.
   • Completed Tasks View – Shows tasks that are marked as done.
   • Pending Tasks View – Lists tasks that are yet to be completed.
4. Real-Time Syncing:
   Since the app uses Google Sheets as a backend, any changes made by the user are instantly synced and updated in real-time.
5. Responsive UI:
   Glide automatically provides a responsive design, ensuring that the app works seamlessly on both mobile and desktop devices.

How It Works:

1. Backend Setup:
   A Google Sheet is used as the database, with columns like:
   • Task Name – Stores the name of the task.
   • Description – Provides additional information about the task.
   • Category – Specifies the category of the task.
   • Status – Indicates whether the task is completed or pending.
   • Timestamp – Records when the task was created or updated.
2. Glide App Creation:
   • The Google Sheet is linked to Glide to serve as the data source.
   • Glide’s interface allows creating forms for adding tasks, toggles for marking tasks as completed, and buttons for editing or deleting tasks.
   • Lists and filters are used to display tasks based on their status or category.
3. User Interface Elements:
   • Task List: Displays tasks with options to mark them as completed or edit them.
   • Add Task Form: A form where users can input task details, category, and priority.
   • Edit/Delete Buttons: Buttons for editing task details or deleting tasks entirely.

Technologies Used:

• Frontend: Glide (No-code platform)
• Backend: Google Sheets (Data storage)
• Integration: Glide’s built-in data binding with Google Sheets ensures real-time updates.

Enhancements:

1. Reminders and Notifications:
   Add reminders for tasks with deadlines, using Glide’s notification or email capabilities.
2. Priority Sorting:
   Implement a feature to sort tasks by priority (High, Medium, Low).
3. Custom User Profiles:
   Allow users to create profiles and manage their own personal task lists.
4. Sharing Functionality:
   Enable users to share specific tasks with others by granting access to the task details.

Conclusion:

This To-Do List App using Glide demonstrates the power of low-code platforms in building functional, responsive applications quickly. It offers a user-friendly interface and real-time syncing capabilities, making it an ideal project for anyone interested in productivity tools. Moreover, integrating Google Sheets as a backend ensures data portability and ease of use.
