The March Roundup

The momentum was strong in March. We launched Dark Mode, which was packed full of important style enhancements. Certification Level 3 was released, and hundreds of users have already claimed their certifications. We also launched a number of technical guides, covering topics like APIs, SQL, and JSON.

Let's take a look at the highlights...

🌑 Dark Mode is Here

You can now activate Dark Mode on your apps, giving them a visually striking, modern look and feel. This update includes more than just an on/off switch. We've made a series of other subtle but impactful chan/ges to the design system for Glide apps, ranging from the contrast of our color palette to how typography adapts across breakpoints.

🌴 Glide Marketing Takes it to Miami

There's nothing quite as impactful as bringing a fully distributed team together for in-person events. On the week of March 4th, the Glide Marketing team flew off to Miami beach for a week of strategic planning, deep conversations, and a whole lot of good eatin'. We also had the pleasure of connecting with customers and Experts in the Miami area at a rooftop mixer. This time together helps our team accelerate progress, while creating lifelong awesome memories.
