No Code tools make it easy to quickly validate your idea and get a product into the hands of the end-user in hours. 

This is going to be a short and to-the-point tutorial. We're going to build an education app for startups.


## Requirements

What you'll need
Google Account
[Glide Account](https://www.glideapps.com/)

## Let's Build

1. Create a new Google spreadsheet and add the header columns: title, description, cover image, URL, and category. Name the tab "videos" and the spreadsheet whatever you want to name the project.


2. Find 3 videos on YouTube. Copy the title, description, and URL into the respective columns on the spreadsheet. Add a category for example "startups".
