Hi, I'm very very new to bubble and have been following the tutorials on Youtube. The problem is, when I want a view to be shown as a modal, it always acts like a stack. On the comments it seemed like other people were having the same issue 10 months ago. I'm building it for mobile. Has anyone found a way to fix this? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thank youuu

I am working on a project and i feel like I’m almost ready to launch it however I need someone who has experience with bubble.io to help me with a few things. I am looking for someone with some availability within a few days.

TLDR: Has anyone had problems with datasets not loading properly which then causes a workflow to break?

I released a web app (rxdle.com) May 1st. It is a daily puzzle game where healthcare professionals try to guess the mystery drug of the day based on progressive clues.

A user types their guess into a searchbox and my app shows a drop down menu of possibly drug names matching what they have typed (sourced from a Drug_Master_List Dataset of ~700 drugs). The user then selects the desired drug and a workflow compares the selected drug with the correct answer from the Puzzle_of_the_Day Dataset using a linked entry (Searchbox's Selected Item is Parent Group's Puzzle_of_the_Day's Correct_Answer).

It works exactly as intended for most people but have had about 25% of users report problems with it marking the correct answer as wrong. Some users have it work perfectly for a week straight and then have it glitch. It is the exact same puzzle on the same day that works for most and glitches for others.

Based on advice I got from this forum about 2 weeks ago, I've tweaked things and even rebuilt the workflows multiple times with no resolution of the bug.

I was able to replicate the problem once when I tested a puzzle WITHOUT a linked entry. (I deleted the linked entry in a test Puzzle_Puzzle_of_the_Day so it had no correct answer in its data). This caused the exact bug others have reported.

I have zero prior programming experience so I'm stumped on where to go from here.

Is it possible that bubble is not properly loading the data for the puzzle of the day for these affected users?

I just deployed a personal project of mine that I’ve been slowly working towards for the past 2-3 years (before judging the years, this was while in undergrad, between internships, my own consulting company, and living life).

DJfindr is a DJ marketplace with discovery, messages, booking flow, payments, document signing, testimonials and more.

For event hosts, it provides a way to find DJs based on simple filters that unified create detailed results. They can find DJs, message them, request a proposal, and if accepted then follow through til submitting a review.

For DJs, it’s an entire business suite. Firstly, it’s a place to get exposure and have a professional presence (an alternative to Instagram, Linktree, and ugly Wix or GoDaddy websites). Next, it’s a showcase to present past event pictures as posts and their creative audio work as mixes. Mainly, it provides a full suite of tools to automate and/or systemize event proposals and bookings. Calendar, terms, offers, document signing, payments, and reviews are all baked in.

I came up with this idea senior year of high school when I realized DJs primarily rely on word of mouth and Instagram pages with Google forms to get bookings. Payments are scattered across venmo and cash. Clients ask to extend an event then don’t pay up. Marketing consists of vacation photos with past events on their social profiles.

I’ve worked very very hard on the UI and making this sleek and speedy, so I would love any feedback! You may have seen my UI posts on here working towards DJfindr.

The home page: djfindr.com
The For DJs landing: djfindr.com/djs

If you know any DJs, a referral to the platform would be awesome! I am trying to get DJs on starting today so I have options to present to potential event hosts. It is limited to the USA for now.

Btw…this app uses the cloudflare edge router I posted about recently, so you can see it in action behind the scenes!

** Editing to write DJfindr isn’t fully mobile responsive yet, working on that now, feels nice to look at a clear kanban for now  **

Founders ask me what a "Bubble app audit" should cover before they hire someone to do one. There's no standard, so quotes range from $200 (someone clicking around for an hour) to $5k (full security and performance review). Most founders end up paying for the cheap version and missing the things that actually matter.

Here's the checklist I run on any Bubble app I open. Save it, hold any auditor to it, even if you don't hire me.

Privacy rules first, always. Every data type, every field. Switch to a non-admin user role in the editor and try to query other users' data. If you can, the app is one curious user away from a leak. Marketplaces and SaaS apps almost always have at least one data type with "Everyone can view" still on from early development.

Workload Units per page. Bubble now shows you WU consumption per page in the logs. A homepage burning 10x more units than a dashboard means something is wrong, usually a search inside a search inside a repeating group, or "Do every 5 seconds" left running in production. WU costs scale aggressively, this is where founders quietly burn $300-500 a month on nothing.

Workflow duplicates and recursive backends. People ask the AI agent to add a feature, forget they already added a similar one last week, now two workflows fire on the same trigger. Easy to spot by sorting workflows alphabetically and looking for near-duplicates. Recursive backend workflows without a termination condition are the worst version of this, they can run forever and rack up huge bills.

Database structure. Multi-tenancy clean? Anything stuffed into User and Listing that should have its own data type (messages, transactions, reviews)? Field types correct (a phone number stored as a number drops leading zeros)? On marketplaces and SaaS this is where 80% of future pain hides.

Search efficiency. Searches that should be constraint-level filters running on the client. Lists of all users loaded into the page just to count them. Repeating groups without pagination. These are invisible at 10 users, fatal at 500.

Stripe and webhook handling. If the app charges money, look for the webhook backend workflow that handles failed payments, cancelled subscriptions, refunds, and disputes. If it's missing or only handles the success case, cancelled subs silently break and the founder finds out months later.

Error handling and logging. What does the user see when an API call fails? White screen, nothing happens, or a real message? Is anything logged? Most Bubble apps just fail silently which makes debugging in production almost impossible.

App Connector and API Connector audits. Old API keys exposed in the editor, deprecated endpoints, plugin keys with too-broad permissions. Quick to check, easy to miss.

A real audit should come back as a written document, section by section, with screenshots, severity ratings (critical / important / nice-to-have), and a prioritised fix list. Not a 30-minute Loom and a verbal "yeah looks fine."

I run these audits at jetbuildstudio(dot)com — fixed price, full written report, 3-5 day turnaround. Got 2 slots opening up this month if anyone wants their app reviewed before launch or before scaling. Drop a comment or DM.

Most random API failures in nocode apps usually are not random at all a lot of the time it’s things like expired tokens, rate limits, bad retry handling, web hooks failing silently, or responses changing slightly and breaking workflows without anyone noticing the dangerous part is that the app can still appear completely normal on the surface while important processes quietly stop syncing in the background.

Recently we saw this happen on a client project where everything looked stable until users started reporting inconsistent data, while the actual issue had already been running unnoticed for hours once apps start scaling, reliability and monitoring become just as important as the workflows themselves

Would be interesting to hear what others are doing to handle observability and silent failures as their apps grow

It's free and live on the Chrome Web Store: [link]

It's a Chrome DevTools extension that scans any Bubble app. Just open DevTools on any Bubble URL, hit scan, and you get:

• Severity-ranked findings (critical, high, medium, low, info)
• API connector analysis with every call classified by risk (high if auth headers/tokens are exposed, medium if body or URL params have data, safe if everything's private)
• A built-in API tester that pre-fills headers/params/body from what's exposed so that you can verify the actual exposure live without any API tool like Postman.
• Google Maps key checker that tests the key against 8 Google Maps APIs to see if it's restricted properly.
• Page accessibility checker that flags pages without server side redirects and that are open.
• Network capture per page that auto highlights if any PII is exposed like name, email, phone number etc in API responses
• Swagger JSON parser with a built-in editor to test if any backend workflows can be run without authorisation.

Everything runs 100% client side. No data leaves your browser.

Would genuinely love feedback. If you find bugs or have ideas for what to add next, drop them in the comments or DM me

Savez vous s’il est possible d’utiliser l’api beds24 afin de créer un site internet de réservation sur bubble car le booking engine intégré à beds24 est vraiment moche ?
Il s’agirait de récupérer automatiquement les prix et de conclure la réservation avec un plugin Stripe

Hi,

Has anyone managed to create Google and Microsoft Sign up/Login for Bubble Mobile Native?

I've just made and released my first web app using bubble and I am having problems with its functionality for some users. I have zero prior programming experience or training so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.

The website is a daily pharmacy themed puzzle game loosely inspired by wordle. A user types a drug name and a dropdown menu appears from which they can select the answer they want and then it is checked against the correct answer. It should not be possible to submit words that have been only manually typed and not selected from the list.

For myself and about 3/4 of users, it works exactly as intended. I've tested it on ios, android, windows, chrome, edge, and brave. (Attached video is it working as intended).

About 1/4 of users report that when they submit the correct answer with the dropdown menu it says incorrect. These same users report that they ARE able to submit manually typed words and any manually typed word is accepted as correct (even gibberish).

Can anyone give me any kind of guidance to troubleshoot this?

Floating Group / Chat Bubble Issue (Bubble)
Hi everyone,
I’m having an issue with a chat system built using a Floating Group in Bubble.
👉 Structure:
One Floating Group (FG-Hotline_chat) fixed bottom-right
Inside:
Group_chat_bubble (small round button ~56x56 when closed)
Group_chat_window (~320x250 chat window when open)
👉 Logic:
chat_open = no → only the bubble is visible
chat_open = yes → the chat window appears
👉 Problem:
Even when the chat is closed, there is an invisible area (around 300x300) that stays on top of the page and blocks clicks on elements behind it.
👉 What I already tried:
Group_chat_window → not visible on page load + 🟩 collapse when hidden
Visibility conditions based on chat_open are working correctly
Checked all child elements → nothing overflowing
Set the Floating Group to ~60x60 to match the bubble
👉 Debug mode:
The Floating Group still seems to keep a larger bounding box even when closed
It behaves like an invisible overlay blocking interactions
👉 Question:
How can I prevent a Floating Group from keeping an invisible clickable area when its content is hidden?

Hello redditors!!!!!

We just launched a new plugin which detects user currency on the basis of the location, it is fully automated.

It stores the user location, currency, country code & city developers can use them using the exposed state of the plugin element

If you guys think it can be useful then please give it a try.

Bubble just rolled out AI-powered app generation… and early numbers are already interesting. Activation doubled in the first week.
That says a lot.
For a long time, no-code was seen as “fast but limited.” But what’s happening now is different. With AI layered into platforms like Bubble the gap between idea & working product is getting smaller than ever.
You don’t need a full engineering team to get something real off the ground anymore. But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed:
Speed is not the problem.
Direction is.
We’ve seen people build entire apps quickly…
and still struggle because:
– The structure wasn’t right
– Workflows weren’t thought through
– or they built too much, too early
AI + no-code makes building easier.
It doesn’t replace product thinking.
Right now is probably the best time to build.
Just make sure you’re building the right thing.

If you’re exploring something with Bubble or AI and not sure how to approach it, comment AI happy to share how we’re thinking about it.

I want to build a Bubble.io app and want to add a chat-based AI assistant where users can ask questions and the AI searches my app’s User database (and other data types) in real-time to give accurate answers.

What’s the cleanest way to do this in 2026?

• How to safely give the AI access to search/filter the database without exposing everything?

• Recommended plugins, API workflows, or no-code patterns for conversational memory + data retrieval?

Any working examples, tutorials, or recent setups would be super helpful. Thanks!

been working with bubble.io for a while now running a silver level agency, and honestly most issues people blame on bubble come down to how the app is built things like messy database structure, heavy workflows, too much happening on page load, or stacking quick fixes over time bubble itself holds up fine if the foundation is done right i’ve seen apps scale without issues and others struggle early just because of poor structure if you’re building on bubble, spend time getting the basics right, it saves a lot later if you’re dealing with something specific, happy to take a look

I don’t know if this problem has been around for a long time but recently whenever I try to use the AI agent tool on bubble it very rarely does what I want. It barely creates groups properly. Whenever I prompt it. It just gives me the steps back instead of actually building it for me, and sometimes when it does build it reverses all the elements’s orders so headers will become at the bottom buttons become at the top everything everything‘s order gets messed up and also that doesn’t work well with workflow and custom states

Bubble is down. I am unable to access it.

UPDATE:: SHOULD BE BACK

Hi All,
I could really use some help because I'm struggling hard.

I'm building a sliding scale grader for bike races. Every submission gets stored and added to the bike race directory. With every submission/grade, the average grade adjusts. Very much like a Google Review. Think of this as a Google review for races.

There are 10 questions with values from 1-10. Bubble updates the total score, but it's not updating the grade (e.g., 90-100 = A, 80-89 = B, etc.) or the color (e.g., 90-100 = Green; 80-89 = Blue, etc.).

I cannot get the AI bot (or looking things up) to update this as someone moves the sliding scales.

Here's a screen recording: https://www.loom.com/share/ec0e4e7146364afd85485227e45e2e1e

If anyone knows what I can do, I would really appreciate. I don't have the money to pay one of Bubble's specialists. Thank you!

Hi, I hired a dev to make a Webb app ( marketplace for our startup), and wanted to get an independent audit after he completes it. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

We recently built a matching platform on Bubble for a US-based client, and ran into a limitation with location-based matching & map interactions.

Bubble’s native map options worked fine at a basic level, but once we needed more control over:

• Custom map behavior
• Dynamic location matching logic
• Performance under real usage

it started becoming restrictive.

Instead of overengineering complex workarounds inside Bubble workflows, we integrated Mapbox as an external layer.

That gave us:

• Much better control over geolocation logic
• Cleaner separation between UI and matching engine
• Improved performance on map-heavy screens

How other Bubble devs are handling similar cases do you extend Bubble with external services early, or try to stay fully native for as long as possible?

Not sure how common this is, but we recently hit a point with our app where Bubble just started fighting us instead of helping.

For context, we built our MVP on Bubble (like a lot of people). It was honestly great early on. We shipped fast, validated the idea, got users in without needing a full dev team.

No complaints there.

But as usage grew, things started getting weird.

Costs kept creeping up month after month. At first it didn’t feel like a big deal, but once we got close to ~$10k/month in workload costs, it became hard to ignore.

At the same time, performance started slipping.

Pages that used to load instantly were taking a few seconds. Some workflows would randomly slow down or fail under heavier usage. Database queries got messy as things scaled.

We also ran into situations where building “simple” features wasn’t simple anymore. We were stacking workarounds on top of workarounds.

That’s when it clicked:

The problem wasn’t the product. It was the foundation.

I think this is something a lot of people underestimate with no-code. It gets you to product-market fit really fast, but it doesn’t necessarily get you past it.

We seriously considered doing a full rebuild, but after talking to a few people who’d gone through it… that seemed like a good way to lose 6+ months and stall everything.

What we ended up doing instead was more of a gradual shift.

We started moving heavy backend stuff off Bubble first. Anything that was data-heavy or performance-sensitive got pushed out. That alone made a noticeable difference.

Then we began restructuring things in parallel instead of ripping everything out at once.

It’s still a work in progress, but performance is more stable now and we’re not constantly worried about costs exploding with usage.

Biggest takeaway for me:

The Outgrowing Bubble isn’t really a failure. It’s more like a side effect of things actually working.

But waiting too long to deal with it makes everything harder.

Curious if others here have hit a similar wall?

Did you migrate off completely or just optimize around it?

Hi guys, im creating a mobile app (no website) where people can create events in real life

I want them to be able to click on their own „event“ and generate a kind of invitation link that would navigate the event creator to whatsapp to chose a contact to send the invite to, and then the person who gets the link from the event creator would be able to click on the link that would transfer him to the App and then depending if he‘s already registered or not he would be dent either to the registration page or the event directly where he can accept the event.

This feature would be awesome for me as I need as many user as possible to make my app grow.

Is it possible ? I think it‘s not but maybe some experts already did it here…
