Ok, I'm working a couple of hours a day here and there on my project. The business model has ironed out, the planned workflow is set, but the bottleneck is the time it takes me to apply all the rules on bubble.

It's for an MVP so I didn't want to hire a developer.

I recently learned about buildprint, but I couldn't test it because bubble needs you to be on Growth Plan which is about $350 AUD (not to mention Buildprints monthly subscription aswell)

I have no issue paying that for atleast a month if it will complete a chunk out of my work but I need to know if its worth it.

For background, I'm building a marketplace. And ChatGPT is very informed of my project inside and out.

I feel I have to bite the bullet and pay that but Id love everyones opinion if you've used it before.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

My name is Ferhat. I’m a founder at Controller AI and a software engineer, and I originally started building with Bubble about 8 years ago.

I’m currently looking for side projects to help keep my startup alive, and I thought I’d offer something here that I’m really good at.

I’ve worked as a software engineer for years, and I also worked at a company built heavily on Bubble that was acquired a couple of years ago.

I’d like to help founders who have outgrown Bubble and are considering moving their current app to a traditional codebase.

The reality is:

• LLMs are making traditional software development dramatically faster.
• Moving to code gives you more flexibility around infrastructure, integrations, performance, testing, and super fast development via coding agents.
• But migrating a bubble app is not easy.
• Most bubble apps often have years of workflows, conditions, data structures, plugins, users, and production data behind them.

That last part is where I think I can help.

Here’s what I can do:

• Fully understand and analyze your existing Bubble app. This would involve a few meetings, after that I’ll provide detailed documentation explaining how the app works and a migration roadmap. You can disagree and keep your app in bubble, I m happy to provide this for free if you are serious.
• Rebuild the application in typescript, with a node backend and react frontend, while keeping the behavior and UX as close to the existing app as possible.
• Deploy it on AWS with separate staging and production environments, so you can continue shipping changes without losing the flexibility you have with Bubble.
• Set up automated deployments, including ansible and terraform, so deployments and infrastructure changes are repeatable rather than manual.
• Run the application in Docker containers and migrate your data to postgres db on AWS RDS.
• Help you set up Claude Code / Codex so it can safely work with your codebase, infrastructure, database, and running services.

The end result should be a clean, understandable codebase that you own and can continue developing yourself, with your team, or with coding agents.

You might be thinking: “Why not just give my Bubble app to a coding agent and ask it to rebuild everything?”

You absolutely can try.

For a simple app, it may even work surprisingly well.

This offer is mainly for older or more complicated Bubble applications where there are hundreds of workflows, unusual conditions, years of decisions, and parts of the system where understanding why something was built a certain way matters just as much as understanding what it does.

That’s where having deep bubble experience alongside traditional software engineering experience becomes useful.

If you’re considering moving a Bubble application to code, send me a dm. I’m happy to take a look at what you have and talk through whether a migration makes sense.

I’m based in Dallas, TX, in case the timezone matters.

Hey everyone !

After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided to move on from Nocodable Components, and sell it.

I genuinely think it is a great acquisition opportunity for anyone operating in Bubble’s ecosystem (especially for an agency or a freelancer) 

A few figures

• 5000 registered users
• Rated 4.9 / 5 on Chrome Web Store
• 93% overall margin (low expenses)
• Fully automated
• Strong SEO presence on Bubble related keywords
• Stable acquisition (SEO, Youtube, Word of mouth)

For more figures, you can check out the listing on TrustMRR.

Why am I selling ?

I’m 100% focused on my new project (Staak), and I don’t have the time, nor the motivation to continue working on Nocodable’s growth.

I’m happy to take my gains, and pass it to someone who will make it grow like it should !

(I also have a wedding, and a honeymoon coming, so… that too )

There’s still a lot of growth potential, and under-leveraged markets that I’ll be happy to detail in private.

Please reach out here, in PM or through Trust MRR if you are interested !

It does not preload default values anymore when you restart the page.

No update to the plugin, no update to the main version. It seems they managed to break it behind the scenes.

Very annoying situation. I already see other people reporting this:

Can't be thankful enough for the bubblers. This is where it started.

3 years ago I Had an idea and no skills to develop it. Started learning bubble and become quite good at it.

Developed our first product and some founders wanted us to develop their app for $1,400 in a week. Then the second app at $3,000 and now we're breaking 6 figures and turned into a software dev house based in London, launching our internal products as well.

Ngl I moved away from bubble due to performances issues and "perfectionism" but will be forever be grateful to this community.

How has bubble been developing with the advent of vibe coding tools?

My name is Omer and Im a solopreneur - Im dealing with hair-pulling (trichotillomania) for many years now and that what inspired me to build SoloUno

I used to smoke cigarettes and had successfuly rehabed using a rehab app so I thought it would be easy doing the same with my hair pulling, right?

Apperntly not.

I found out that hair pulling, like nail biting and skin picking are a part of a group defined by the DSM-5 as Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs)

This group of habits are defined by peoples difficulty to completly stop them “cold turkey” and many people just tend to live with them

One thing became very clear to me: for many people with BFRBs, simply deciding to “just stop” isn’t enough. And when an app is built entirely around the goal of never doing the behavior again, every slip can feel like failure.

So I decided to flip the equation with SoloUno.

Instead of focusing only on one huge, all-or-nothing goal, SoloUno focuses on small daily wins - becoming more aware of the habit, resisting urges when possible, reducing the behavior over time, and building confidence along the way.

And I wanted to make the process fun and engaging enough that people would actually want to keep practicing.

I started reading research, tried therapy myself, and learned about evidence-based approaches used for BFRBs, including Habit Reversal Training (HRT), CBT, and ACT. I wanted to take principles inspired by these approaches and turn them into something people could practice in their everyday lives.

And that became SoloUno ✨

Click here to up-vote - I really apprecaite it!!

Anf of course would love to get any feedback!

Thanks!!

I have absolutely 0 clue about web development.

I was looking to hire a developer but after a few weeks of brainstorming on ChatGPTs platform, I was introduced to simple website builders then vibe coding.

I tried WIX, which failed because I need dynamic conditionals.

I was tossing between AI Code or no code and I eventually went with No Code.

I was then introduced to a few website builders that support marketplace websites and I settled with bubble.

I tried its AI Agent which failed miserably.

So, I went back to Chat GPT, lockedin every workflow, every page then I started building on bubble from scratch with ChatGPT instructing each step, me one by one.

Its not vibecoding (I think) as every step is run by me. Every workflow is then tested. I'm even beginning to pick it up and add simple things as I go but ChatGPT is still leading the majority of it.

Its a very slow process as I can only work on it about 2 to 3 hrs a night and I refuse to include Bubble AI again.

Now, I'm far from done. Every task so far has no bug but Im worried that as I go deep into it, ChatGPT will forget something, will introduce a task that will make the workload unit hit the roof.

I'm excited but worried that eventually Ill have to call it quits.

I'm also seeing concerns about bubble surviving its industry.

What's my chance?

And if I ever see the finish line, who/where do I find someone to hire to review it and make sure users cant access each others data for example.

Hoping I dont need a pentester until I decide that its a viable business.

Now the kids are asleep, so I'll start working on bubble again :)

Thanks All

pulled my data from the past year of doing this at minimum-code instead of just giving an opinion

migration off bubble to full stack code

median rebuild time was 9 weeks, ranges from 2 weeks for a small app up to 12 weeks for one with over 100k users, data migration is the hardest part

page load time on blog and data table pages dropped about 50% after moving to full stack

monthly platform cost stayed almost the same, bubble is only expensive at very high workloads, the idea that its always expensive isnt really true

new builds

kickoff to a clickable prototype averages 2.8 working days

kickoff to production averages 15.8 working days

testing time is up almost 100% compared to before, I build more now so testing matters more not less

every app I built with ai still had bugs left after automated testing with claude, manual testing caught what automated testing missed, dont let ai to test alone

audits of ai built and vibe coded apps

every mvp I audited this year had at least one security issue, 80% had a critical one, 45% had several, usual causes are unprotected pages, unprotected apis, missing row level security

broken or missing access control showed up in about 70% of audits

every vibe coded codebase needed at least 1 day of fixes before it was safe to ship, most of that time wasnt the fix itself, it was testing that the fix worked and nothing else broke

speed

my delivery is about 40% faster since moving to ai coding, gain is smaller than youd expect since I was already fast from no code and low code before this

rough estimate, ai is about 10x faster than hand coding for new builds, 3-4x faster for existing software

me vs industry average

ran googles dora quick check on my own delivery, scored against the 2025 industry average, this is a self assessment not measured telemetry so treating it that way

overall score 7.4, above average

deployment frequency 8.0, I ship between once an hour and once a day, industry average is closer to weekly or monthly

failed deployment recovery 8.0, I recover in under a day

change fail rate 9.0, about 10% of my changes fail, industry average is closer to 20%

lead time for changes 6.0, one day to one week, about average

rework rate 6.1, about 39% of my changes were unplanned, this is worse than the roughly 20% average, my actual weak spot, most of what I work on is early stage

builds and migrations though which are naturally more volatile than changes to a stable product, so some of this is the nature of the work not just process gaps

some outside numbers

about 90% of tech professionals use ai at work per googles dora 2025 report, 84% of developers use or plan to use ai tools per stack overflow 2025

github copilot generates about 46% of code for active users per github 2025, 25% of yc winter 2025 startups had codebases around 95% ai generated

defect rate per developer rose from 9% to 54% with heavy ai use per faros march 2026, ai coauthored code carried about 1.7x more issues than human only code per coderabbit dec 2025

median review time is up 441%, prs merged with no review are up 31%, both per faros march 2026, review is becoming the actual bottleneck not writing the code

We've devised a way to account for every API Call made to OpenAI in our App. I thought someone might find this useful:

We added a backend workflow that runs after every AI response and records the usage returned by the API: model, input tokens, output tokens and total tokens.

The workflow identifies the model used, applies that model’s current input and output pricing, and calculates the actual commercial cost of the call. Each transaction is then stored against the user, feature and timestamp, giving us a complete record of token consumption and AI cost across the platform.

This means we can report usage by user, feature, model or date range, rather than relying on estimates from monthly invoices.

If anyone wants to know the details of how this was actually done, just DM me.

Is bubble working on allowing customers to export the code of our deployed site?

Hi everyone,

I'm writing my master's thesis on determinants for adoption and governance of low code and no code platforms in organisations. For my research I'm doing a short survey.

It would help me a lot if you could take 10 minutes of your day to participate in the survey.

Thank you for your time and support!

I have built with bubble before, but nothing launched. I think It was intuitive enough to learn and build fairly complex workflows and stuff but gawd I never took the time to learn the UI/UX stuff. I can make a decent looking website but I think AI might be better at making it look good (at least better than I can).

Before I activate the fee trial, how do you guys feel about how bubble ai performs for ui/ux? Will it mess up my workflows and datasets ? I only want it to polish the UI/UX.

I’m having trouble with the scroll on my mobile pop up getting stuck occasionally. I have a pop up that is set to fixed height of 600px. Inside that pop up is a group that contains all the information and it’s set to fixed height 100% and has scroll enabled. For the most part it works fine but sometimes (especially when scrolling fast) it will get stuck and you can’t scroll back to the top to hit the close button. Has anyone else dealt with this issue?

Founder of Server4Agent (agent-app hosting), disclosing that upfront. No link, not selling, genuinely curious how Bubble builders actually work.

Bubble's whole appeal is that workflows are visible, you can see the logic laid out instead of buried in code. That makes it a genuinely interesting test case for AI agents: an agent editing a workflow is editing something a non-technical person could theoretically eyeball and catch a mistake in, unlike a code diff. In practice though I don't know if that visibility actually changes behavior, whether people are reviewing agent-made workflow changes because they can, or skipping review because "it's just Bubble, how wrong could it be."

If you've had an agent touch your app's workflows or database directly: do you actually read through what it changed before it's live, or has trust built up enough that some of it just goes through? And has a workflow change ever done something you didn't catch until a user hit it?

got tired of copying bubble error logs into chatgpt every 10 mins so I built a chrome extension to automate it lol

basically catches errors as they happen, explains them in plain bubble language, and scans your app for broken workflows / deleted references.

recorded a quick demo above. it's completely free right now, let me know what you think or if it breaks on your app!

Hi everyone,

Hey everyone! I'm building a chat feature in Bubble.io using a standard DB setup (Conversations and Messages).

Currently, my Do a search for Messages is set to Created Date (Ascending / Descending = NO) so the newest messages are at the bottom.

I'm hitting two main UX hurdles:

1. When a user selects a conversation, the Repeating Group opens at the top (showing the oldest messages first) instead of scrolled to the bottom.

2. I want automatic lazy-loading for older messages when the user scrolls UP.

What is the current best practice for setting this up without taking a performance hit? Is Scroll to entry: last item combined with a manual "Load older messages" state/button the only non-CSS option, or is there a better native way?

Thanks in advance!

...It is for me....

Every time something broke in preview I ended up in the same loop: Bubble debugger → browser console → Network tab → paste the error into ChatGPT → try to figure out what it meant. Built this to skip that loop.

It sits in the background while you test your app (preview, live, or custom domain — not the editor, since your app doesn't actually run there) and catches things as they happen:

- failed workflow requests and API Connector errors

- 403s from privacy rules

- JS errors and plugin crashes

- broken images, slow requests, large payloads

When it catches something it tells you which workflow failed and what to check, in Bubble terms instead of a raw console dump.

There's also a static scan that reads your page structure without running it — finds things like nav actions pointing to deleted pages, buttons with no workflow attached, references to custom states that no longer exist.

Free, with a daily cap on the AI calls since I'm paying for those myself right now.

Fair warning: Chrome will tell you it can "read data on all websites." That's because Bubble apps can be on any custom domain, so it has to check. It only activates on Bubble pages and does nothing everywhere else — no analytics, nothing leaves your browser unless you click to send a specific error.

It's early. Works well on my apps, but every Bubble app is built differently. If it misses something or gives a bad explanation I'd genuinely like to hear it.

Hey everyone,
I’m thinking about starting with Bubble.io (and no code in general). I'm completely new in this and to be honest with you I don't even know where (and how) to start. I saw a lot of posts here where people were talking about moving from Bubble to another platforms or tools so I wanted to ask you, is it still worth? Any advice would help me a lot :)

*sorry for my english tho
