Glide is a build mobile and web apps from a spreadsheet — AI Builder generates schema and UI from a brief. Turns Google Sheets and other spreadsheets into functional mobile and web apps without writing code.
About Glide
Glide is a no-code app builder that turns Google Sheets and other spreadsheets into working mobile and web apps.
Its AI Builder generates app schema and UI components from a natural-language brief, and a visual editor lets non-developers design layouts, configure data, and set up business logic. Published apps run on iOS, Android, and the web from a single project.
It fits non-developers and teams building internal or lightweight apps on top of spreadsheet data, and it is beginner-friendly. The trade-offs: the free tier limits apps, data rows, and active users; apps are hosted on Glide's infrastructure with no self-hosting; and spreadsheet-sourced data limits scalability compared with a dedicated database.
Among no-code builders, its niche is the spreadsheet-to-app path rather than building on a full backend database.

- What Is an AI Agent Harness? The Runtime That Turns an LLM Into an Agent
A harness is the runtime wrapper that turns a bare language model into an agent — the layer that runs tools, holds memory, assembles context, and enforces limits. The model does the reasoning; the harness does everything the model can't do on its own. It's the part that decides whether you shipped a chatbot or a real agent — and it's why the same model feels brilliant in one tool and useless in another.

Claude Code has built-in memory — a CLAUDE.md file it reads each session — but it only holds short, hand-written notes. To make it understand a large codebase or docs set, you add a second brain: turn the repo into a knowledge graph, fold that into an Obsidian vault, and let the agent query the map instead of re-reading every file.

Claude Code can do most of your SEO — build a crawlable static site, write and optimize pages, fix the technical layer, even bottle the whole workflow into a reusable skill.

Here's the honest, hands-on version for a maker whose site shipped last week.
