March Roundup: Dark Mode, Certification Level 3 & more ?

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.??
