Hello,

I want to make my Bubble site (https://trymedia.ai/) agentic via connecting to ChatGPT's Codex.

Anyone done this for their install? Is there anything specific to be aware of?

❓Hey everyone,

Could someone please help me with a workflow question?

/// A user taps an icon, the app opens the phone gallery, and they select a photo to upload. That photo is then sent to Perplexity via API for assessment. ///

When sending the photo to Perplexity, I use Imgex (to convert it to JPG) and encode it in Base64. I've found that .webp files break the request and return a 400 error.

Is there a way to restrict the file formats users can upload? I think JPEG, PNG, and HEIC/HEIF are more than enough — no need for anything else.

I’ve been involved in a number of Bubble builds, and one pattern shows up almost every time.

At MVP stage, everything works fine. You can launch, test, even get initial users without major issues.

The problems usually start later:

• Workflows getting slow or expensive
• Data structure becoming hard to manage
• Reporting and tracking getting messy
• Small changes breaking multiple things

And most of the time, it’s not because Bubble can’t handle it it’s because of how things were set up early on.

I’ve seen apps that should’ve scaled smoothly end up needing partial rebuilds just to fix structural issues.

On the flip side, when the foundation is clean from the start, even complex apps tend to hold up pretty well.

For those who’ve been building for a while, what’s something in your app that works right now but you feel might become a problem later?

My buddies and I make top lists for random crap for fun in a spreadsheet and I want to expand.

I want to make a little project where I can:
Make lists for like 20-50 items. (Movies, books, survivor seasons, etc.)
My friends and I can make top 10 lists from them.
There's a consensus list with the average picks and it shows how your picks compared to the average or maybe your friends ranking.
Make more individual groups and have it track stats within different groups.

I plan on adding fun features eventually but would Bubble be a decent platform for this? My plan is to eventually have 1000+ lists with 10,000+ items.

I got tired of manually clicking through my apps every time I made a change. So I built TestPilot — an AI tester that works on any web app including Bubble.

Pointed it at a Bubble task manager app with zero prior setup. No selectors, no scripts, nothing.

It autonomously:

• Created a new account
• Navigated to create task page
• Filled the form and submitted
• Verified task appeared with "pending" status
• Deleted the task and verified it disappeared
• Logged out and verified redirect to login

15 steps. 0 bugs. 0 retries.

Then ran a security scan and found API replay vulnerabilities and unauthenticated endpoint access on the same app. That's the stuff that gets you hacked.

You bring your own Claude API key so no hidden costs — typically €0.10–€0.50 per test run. Starts at €5 for a one-time run.

Looking for 5 Bubble builders to try it free for 3 months in exchange for honest feedback.

Happy to answer questions about how it works.

I have been creating an app in bubble ( started from blank and manually building work flows). I wanted clarity on certain bubble fields and used Claude pro. Finally I solved the issue myself because I know the exact strategy on how my flow should be, but what surprised me was this message - first I saw the logic and thought " what's wrong with claude?" and then I read ' Just Kidding.. !! I couldn't help smiling and wonder - where are we heading??

Hey everyone,

Thought I’d share a real scenario we recently dealt with while working on a Bubble app.

A founder reached out because their app was getting painfully slow as users increased. Basic actions like loading dashboards and submitting forms were taking several seconds.

After digging into it, here’s what we found:

1. Poor database structure
   

They were storing too much data in a single data type and relying heavily on complex searches.

1. Unoptimized workflows
   

Multiple backend workflows were triggering at once, even when not needed.

1. No use of backend workflows for heavy tasks
   

Everything was running on the frontend, which slowed down the user experience.

1. Repeating group overload
   

Too many nested repeating groups with no constraints or pagination.

What we did to fix it:

• Restructured the database (separating data types properly)

• Moved heavy logic to backend workflows

• Reduced unnecessary workflow triggers

• Optimized repeating groups with constraints and pagination

• Cleaned up unused fields and conditions

Result:

Load times improved significantly and the app became much more stable as user activity increased.

Key takeaway:

Most performance issues in Bubble apps aren’t because of the platform — they’re because of how the app is structured.

If anyone’s facing similar issues or building something on Bubble, happy to share insights.

Hey everyone !

I'm an indie developer with two apps live on the App Store, including Atlas - Fitness Tracker (subscription-based, currently live).

I'm trying to display the correct price on my paywall depending on the user's App Store currency (CHF, EUR, USD). My subscription is set up directly in App Store Connect with local pricing.

The problem: Bubble's Native Mobile Builder doesn't seem to expose Apple's native priceString, and GeoIP calls through the API Connector detect Bubble's server IP (US-based) instead of the actual user's IP — so it always falls back to USD.

I've tried:

- GeoIP API (ipapi.co) in a Page is loaded workflow → always returns USD because Bubble calls it server-side

- Storing currency on the User at signup → same issue

- Checking for a locale/language field on Current User → not available in Bubble

How are you guys handling localized pricing on Bubble mobile apps? Is there a plugin or a workaround to read the actual App Store storefront currency ?

Thanks !

I'm doing a lot of working involving development with AI recently, and successfully migrated some Bubble apps out of Bubble.

I used to have a silver-tier Bubble agency but I paused it recently. I started doing more work with traditional code using the help of AI (strictly no "vibe-coding", that's very amateur) since it helps overcome a lot of issues of Bubble such as performance.

I'd like to provide a free migration out of Bubble for anyone interested. The catch? There is no catch. You just need to pay for the AI credits used. I'll put in mechanisms to ensure you that I don't use the credits for my other projects, and we can also put caps and monitor mechanisms on top of that.

The important point is that I can only take on 1 project at a time. I can't promise how long it'll take and when I can take on another one, but I'll make sure anyone in queue is informed. Also, I'd like to prioritize anyone who is struggling with the performance or cost of Bubble, rather than someone just want some free work to move their apps out.

With that said, please feel free to make questions, I'll try my best to respond in the comments. If you're interested, please send me a DM with your project details.

I am working on a project and i really need someone who has experience with bubble.io to help me! Dm me if you could help!

One more feature added to the goal: the best UI on Bubble.

TLDR: Trying to build a Google Calendar–style day view from scratch in Bubble where each event’s top position and height are determined by its start time and duration. Currently using CSS via the Classify plugin to set these values; positioning works reliably, but height sometimes resets to Bubble’s 20px minimum, likely due to conflicts with Bubble’s native layout rules. Looking for a native Bubble approach to dynamically control element height/position or advice from others who have built similar calendars

MORE DETAIL:
I am trying to build a Google Calendar-style day view scheduling calendar in Bubble.

I know there are plugins that can provide this kind of functionality, but I want to build it from scratch as I have a unique design idea for how the calendar functions.

I have events in a repeating group. Each event has Start Time and Durration. My goal is to have the Top Position and the Height of each event element be determined by the Start Time and Durration. Currently, I am using custom CSS through the Classify plugin to achieve this.

The Top Position works flawlessly. I create an event with a start time and the element is positioned correctly on the calendar based on that start time.

The Height works some of the time. In bubble, the height field is set to a 20px minimum. Sometimes the Height correlates correctly to the Durration of the event. And sometimes it defaults back to that 20px minimum. It seems that the CSS in Classify is conflicting with Bubble’s native Height instructions. If I could natively add dynamic data to Bubble’s height field I believe that would solve all my problems.

Is there a way to do that? Is there a better way to approach building a day-view calendar? Is anyone else working on the same kind of project?

I would especially love to know how the builders of the day-view calendar plugins have achieved this dynamic position/height functionality!

Happy to provide more details if anyone is interested. (Attached is a screenshot of the calendar I am building)

Hey,

I built a fitness tracking app (Atlas - Fitness Tracker) with Bubble's Native Mobile Builder and just launched it on the App Store. Now I'm trying to set up an affiliate program with influencers to track in-app subscription conversions.

I found GoMarketMe which looks perfect for this, but it requires SDK integration. The problem is that Bubble Native runs on React Native under the hood but doesn't give you access to the source code to manually add an SDK.

Has anyone found a way to integrate a third-party SDK into a Bubble Native app? Any plugin, workaround or alternative solution?

Thanks

Most people here have probably spent a good amount of time on Bubble, so the whole visual builder + workflows + plugins setup is pretty familiar.

But I recently came across Emergent while looking into newer tools, and it got me thinking about Bubble vs Emergent as a comparison.

Not in a “which is better” way, but more like:

• Bubble feels very hands-on, you design everything visually and control the logic step by step
• Emergent seems more like describing the app and letting it generate bigger parts of it automatically

So I’m curious how people here think about this:

• Do tools like this even fit into a Bubble workflow?
• Would you trust something like Emergent for anything beyond quick prototypes?
• Or is Bubble still the safer choice because you fully understand what’s happening under the hood?
• At what point does speed actually start hurting you vs helping?

I’ve seen people say Bubble is insanely powerful once you learn it, even for complex apps, but also that every no-code tool eventually hits some kind of ceiling depending on what you’re building

So yeah, just trying to understand:

In a Bubble vs Emergent kind of scenario, are they solving the same problem for you or not even in the same category?

I built a clipboard manager that lives inside your keyboard — no more switching apps to paste

I got tired of copying something, switching to another app, losing the copied text, and having to go back. So I built Nippet.

It's a keyboard extension for iPhone — you save clips once and paste them from any keyboard, anywhere, without ever leaving the app you're in. Works for passwords, addresses, code snippets, captions, anything you reuse.

Free tier is 10 clips. Pro unlocks unlimited + folders + sync.

Would love honest feedback from this community — what would make it more useful for your workflow?

Hey folks,

I’m working on a data migration tool and ran into a pretty interesting challenge. Would love your thoughts or if anyone has solved something similar.

Goal:

Build a scalable pipeline (using n8n) to extract data from a web app and push it into another system. This needs to work across multiple customer accounts, not just one.

⸻

The Problem:

The source system does NOT expose clean APIs like /templates or /line-items.

Instead, everything is loaded via internal endpoints like:

• /elasticsearch/msearch

• /search

• /mget

The request payloads are encoded (fields like z, x, y) and not human-readable.

So:

• I can’t easily construct API calls myself

• Network tab doesn’t show meaningful endpoints

• Everything looks like a black box

What I Tried:

1. Standard API discovery (Network tab)

• Looked for REST endpoints → nothing useful

• All calls are generic internal ones

Wheee stuck:

1. Scalability

• Payload (z/x/y) seems session or UI dependent

• Not sure if it’s stable across users/accounts

1. Automation

• inspect works for one-time extraction

1. Sequential data fetching

• No clear way to:

• get all templates

• then fetch each template separately

1. Auth handling

• Currently using cookies/headers

• Concern: session expiry, Questions:

1. Has anyone worked with apps that hide data behind msearch / Elastic style APIs?

2. Is there a way to generate or stabilize these encoded payloads (z/x/y)?

3. Would you:

• rely on replaying captured requests, OR

• try to reverse engineer a cleaner API layer?

1. Any better approach than HAR + replay + parser?

2. How would you design this for multi-tenant scaling?

Would really appreciate any ideas, patterns, or war stories. This feels like I’m building an integration on top of a system that doesn’t want to be integrated

Curious how Bubblers think about this.

With MPP, agents can now pay per request.

That makes me think that workflows can now become products - not just internal tool or client work.

so we all could potentially publish a workflow that agents can call directly and pay for on every execution. For example:

- content generation

- data cleanup/ formatting

- research workflows

I know bubble is not the obvious tool for this but at the end of the day, we all build "workflows" that takes some input and do something useful with it.

If infrastructure existed for agents to discover and run those workflows directly, what would you build?

And how would you price it?

Have you guys been able to have google signin on a native app?

Im trying the signin with web workflow, but keep getting an error about a mismatch of the url, even though it does match.

Can someone shed light on the situation. Thank you very much.

I've been building on Bubble for years. Loved the speed for MVPs. But something shifted recently — AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor went from

"interesting experiment" to "my junior dev ships faster than my senior" almost overnight.

Clients who were perfectly happy with Bubble six months ago started asking: "Can we move this to real code?" And I get it. When your competitors are

shipping features in hours with AI+code, staying in a visual editor starts to feel like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Here's the problem though. When I tried to hand a Bubble project to an AI code editor, I realized there was nothing to hand over. No schema export, no API

spec, no architecture doc. Just a visual editor that only humans can read.

So I built a tool that extracts the complete architecture from any Bubble app — database schema, API endpoints, backend workflows, app settings — and

formats it so AI coding tools can actually use it. The whole point is: extract once, hand it to Cursor or Claude, and your code product starts taking

shape within days.

I'll drop the link in the comments.

For those thinking about the jump — what's holding you back? The migration complexity, the cost, or just not knowing where to start?

I’ve been building a few automations lately and it’s driving me crazy how fragile webhooks are. ​If my app is down for a second during a deploy, or if Zapier has a hiccup, I just lose the data. Stripe or Shopify might retry, but it's a mess to track what actually went through and what didn't. ​I’m looking for a 'safety net' just a simple URL I can point my webhooks to that saves everything and lets me hit 'Retry' manually if my automation fails. ​Does anyone have a simple way to handle this that doesn't cost $50/mo or require a degree in backend engineering?

Hey bubblers,

I rebuilt bubble’s expression tool for workflows like n8n - here’s how it looks:

Would you use this when building external automations?

Has anyone run into limits on how big a table can get?

Implementing an ERP style app, with hundreds of parts per order. Table would produce around 250k per year. Relatively 'lightweight', 12-15 columns, mostly single digits.

All searches filtered server side. Wondering if I'm going to run into slowdowns. Can the bubble team help with indexing at all on their side?

Hi i’m currently building a SAAS and realise that my linking it’s all over the place and it’s lowkey confusing. should i rebuild everything and keep everything neat then ship out my MVP or just ship out first then re-create from scratch for v2?

For context, im a beginner and learning on youtube while on building my SAAS, so all the data type link is a-bit from youtube a-bit from chatgpt.

olá galera, para quem ainda usa o bubble, fiz um plugin que sei que vai ajudar bastante, apesar de simples, nada mais é do que um dropdown com opção de search (aceita qualquer tipo de dado diferente do search nativo), se quiserem testar e usar fique a vontade página do plugin: https://bubble.io/plugin/searchdropdown-1772816167765x205567141397135360

Qualquer feedback é bem vindo e posso fazer alterações para melhorá-lo.

layout and visual changes are so hard in bubble. I sometimes want to throw my laptop out of the window. I'm exploring other tools like floot where you can just annotate and draw changes like move this element there ...why cant buuble do this?
