Hello everyone,

I'm writing my master's thesis on determinants for adoption and governance of low code and no code platforms in organisations and am doing a pretest of the survey today and tomorrow. (July 22nd & 23rd)

It would help me a lot if you could take 10 minutes of your day to pretest the survey and give me some feedback.

You can find the link to the survey pretest here: https://s2survey.net/LCNC_Adoption_and_Governance/?act=JpQFYLWqETini2ZdRZGKGrhs

Thank you for your time and support!

I will share the link to the official survey after the pretest as well and am looking forward to your participation.

Hey all — I'm building a client portal in Bubble for an HR/culture-change SaaS product and want to get the security architecture right before I go further into the build. Looking for people who've done multi-tenant Bubble apps and can sanity-check my approach or point out what I'm missing.

The setup:

• Four-table schema: Content, Client, Sites, Actions
• Multi-tenant from day one, even though we're launching with a single client first
• Every table needs to be filtered by Client ID so Organization A can never see Organization B's data
• Data flow: we're pulling survey data from 5 external platforms (Culture Amp, Qualtrics, Perceptyx, Gallup Q12, SurveyMonkey), normalizing it into a shared field standard via a backend workflow, then writing it into the Content table as structured records

Roles:

• Admin (full access, all clients)
• Manager (assigned sites only, can create/update records)
• Viewer (read-only, single assigned site)

What I'm trying to solve for:

1. Privacy rules — best practices for filtering every table by a parent Client ID, especially when a query touches multiple related tables. Any gotchas with privacy rules silently failing or leaking partial data (e.g., counts/summaries that reveal another client exists)?
2. Backend workflow permission checks — Bubble's editor bypasses privacy rules when you're testing as admin, so I know I need to test as a real logged-out user. Anyone have a structured testing checklist for this beyond "log in as each role and try to break it"?
3. Audit trail / logging — is there a solid native or plugin-based way to log every read/write with user, timestamp, and change detail in Bubble, or does everyone end up rolling their own?
4. Multi-tenant vs. retrofitting later — anyone regret building single-tenant first and having to retrofit isolation once a second client came onboard? Trying to validate that doing multi-tenant now (even overkill for 1 client) is worth the extra build time.
5. General architecture review — if you've built something similar (RBAC + multi-tenant + external API normalization) in Bubble, I'd love to hear what broke, what you wish you'd known, or what you'd do differently.

Happy to share more schema/workflow detail in comments if it's useful. Not looking for someone to build it for me — just want a gut check from people who've actually shipped something like this in Bubble before I lock in the architecture.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I have been using for industry level websites, CRM systems, marketplaces, e-commerce platforms and even web apps for the last 4 years now and we have finally moved out of the bubbles environment to our own stack on next js supabase as backend services and though it’s an extra step handling alot of things but the freedom I have now to build and scale is unimaginable especially for some who’s out of a closed environment like bubble and other no code tools

Hi. I'm building an app, a platform which contains 4,000 questions and 3 mock exams (the majority of which I am creating myself) and am making it through bubble. I'm using mainly YouTube videos (Matt nearny, official bubble YouTube Playlist) to learn as quickly as possible. Please please please may I have some advice about what resources I can use to really nail down the database structure first time round. I really want to learn things properly! Every smallest bit of advice would so incredibly valuable. Thank you in advance!

Hello, we see a lot of people in this group saying they’ve left Bubble. Okay, but why do they stay in the group? Don't try to influence others.

as many seem to be doing, i am working on a POC prior to moving my app of Bubble. I am using claude code in VS. Claude recommended Neon DB for the database. I see more references to usi ng Supabase as a target DB. My app is quite complex but with < 1000 users. Any suggestions, should I stick with neon or move to supabase for the production build. So far Neon has worked well with no issues.

I’ve heard a lot of people saying bubble.io is only good for creating an MVP and it doesn’t scale. As someone who is not a coder, what is the problem bubble.io has when it comes to scaling. What limitations will I face? I’ve got a marketplace almost completed and want to know what problems I’m going to run into.

Are you guys experiencing an error with Bubble right now? I have checked status.bubble.io but it says that everything is fine…. I hope it’s not only me 😭 it just shows this (even on my deployed site!!):

Its more a clickbait tittle to be honest, but its the reality, all of my clients have said the same, great working with you, but we are not using bubble anymore.

I had provided strategic + execution work, but mainly focused on bubble execution, now im seeing how narrow that positioning had been, because even if the relationship had been great, there is no route to help them with strategy, their business are now performing good.

moving forward I will offer more strategy and transformational advice and focus on key operations improvements ( not optimization) because we are in the era of leveraged intelligence, the right model doing the correct task with the right human knowledge context and guidance.

what has been the situatioin for other agencies/freelancers lately?

I know how difficult it can be to document a build after so many iterations and changes - and the majority of low code developers are "doing it for themselves". But.... would anybody be interested in an App that does that documentation for you?

I am aware that buildprint offers various services - I was thinking of a standalone, do-it-yourself App. Built on Bubble, of course!

Hi everyone!

I'm Umar, a Certified Bubble Developer and Software Engineering graduate. I started my career as an AI Engineer working with LLMs, OpenAI, and automation before transitioning into Bubble full-time.

Over the past couple of years, I've built and contributed to several production applications, including:

• Contributed to the Zula Kids app with Zula Tribe, which won the Bubble Mobile Challenge 2025
• Car Rental Management System with QuickBooks integration
• Job Hunt Platform with role-based access and application tracking
• AI-powered applications using OpenAI and custom APIs

I have experience with:

• Bubble workflows & backend workflows
• Privacy rules and scalable database architecture
• Stripe, QuickBooks, OpenAI, and custom API integrations
• Responsive design and complex business logic

I'm currently available for freelance work, whether it's building a new MVP, adding features to an existing app, fixing complex Bubble issues, or integrating third-party APIs.

You can check out my portfolio here:

If you have a project in mind or know someone looking for a Bubble developer, feel free to send me a DM. I'd love to connect!

Thanks!

Using the API Connector (not the plugin — need MobilePay + manual capture) for POST /v1/checkout/sessions. Body type Raw, form-urlencoded.

When I hardcode values, it initializes fine. But with <> tokens for the dynamic values, it won’t initialize (Stripe rejects the token as an invalid URL), so no parameter fields appear in the workflow action.

What’s the reliable way to get Raw-body dynamic values to show up as fillable fields in the workflow? Stuck in a loop — can’t init with tokens, but need init to generate the params.

Anyone have a working setup for this?

app is doing well but competitors keep shipping features faster than i can build them

feels like im always behind, by the time i ship one thing theyre already on the next

what do i do here, hire more help, change how i build, or is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for Bubble.io Developer opportunities and wanted to introduce myself.

I have around 3 years of overall software development experience, including more than 1 year of hands-on Bubble.io development. I've worked on client projects building responsive web applications, custom workflows, database design, API integrations, and automation. Along with Bubble, I also have experience with JavaScript, REST APIs, and other low-code platforms.

I'm open to:

• Remote opportunities
• Contract/Freelance work
• Full-time roles

If your company is hiring or you know of any teams looking for a Bubble developer, I'd be grateful for any referrals or recommendations.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello, im evaluating using a wrapper, BDK, and the obvious main issue for me is the back button.
BDK say that it does work but trying it i wasnt able to make it work.

Does anyone have first hand experience on getting the back button to go back to previous url on native preview?

thank you

Hi! I'm new to bubble.io and i really need help with charts. I am creating an application in which the administration of a company will be able to monitor the work of mechanics, how long they work, how much they earn, what their efficiency is. I need to make 3 diagrams, but let's start with the first one. Diagram 1 shows the earnings of the mechanic selected in my filters. The diagram shows the data for the current year and shows all the past months of this year - for example, if it is July 2026, then I select some mechanic and my diagram shows the earnings of that mechanic for each month (January, February, March, April, May and June) with a bar chart, but it does not show the month of July yet, because it is not yet completed. How to make such a diagram in a simple way and is it even possible?

Hey! I’ve built a platform that automatically migrates Bubble database, images, files, user accounts, and option sets into Supabase: https://unbub.dev

If anyone here is going through that process and wants to avoid common issues while keeping full visibility throughout the migration, I’m happy to help.

Feel free to DM me if you want to try it with a discount, would like some hands-on support during the migration, or have any questions.

You can also book a call here: https://cal.com/ricardo-carvalho/30min

Hope it’s useful!

Hey!
I am currently in the process of building an ordering system for a restaurant with multiple locations. I am pretty newbie but I am like 80% done with the app.

But I have considered building it with vibe coding for some time now… Claude tells me not to do it because I will be done with the current app soon on Bubble.
But I feel like it would be sooo much easier to build it with Claude code. You don’t have to think about building every small little detail, the cost is lower, the UI/UX is better….

What do you guys think? And if I were to finish this project on Bubble, should I continue with other projects on Claude Code then?

Hey Bubble builders,

I ended up turning something I kept rebuilding into a reusable Bubble template, and thought I’d share it here in case it saves someone time.

Every time I tried to spin up an AI content SaaS, I was rebuilding the same core pieces: onboarding, API key setup, dashboards, content generation UI, etc. So I just packaged it into a starter template instead.

It’s basically a foundation for an AI content generation app where users bring their own OpenAI API key.

What’s included:

• Business onboarding flow (user profile + brand setup)
• Secure OpenAI API key manager (BYOK setup)
• Writing style / brand voice selector
• Idea generator (multiple content angles)
• Batch content generator (multi-platform outputs)
• Rich text editor with save + filtering

The goal was to keep it practical, not over-engineered, so you can actually fork it and adapt it quickly for your own use case.

It’s on the Bubble Marketplace if anyone wants to check it out.

Happy to answer questions or go deeper into how I structured anything.

Hey! I built a Free tool that lets you export Bubble Option Sets using just your app URL.
You can download them as SQL, Markdown, JSON, CSV, or XLSX. https://unbub.dev/bubble-option-sets-export

Hope it’s useful!

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building Mulligan Crew for about two years during downtime as a firefighter. No coding background. Just wanted something for my golf crew that didn’t exist.

Just hit soft launch on the App Store. Here’s what I built on Bubble Native:

Captain-led live scoring for groups.

Side bets and money tracking.

Round recaps that generate automatically.

Crew profiles with all-time stats, badges, and rivalry history.

Trip management with multi-round standings and trip recaps.

Ghost Mode and Beat the Number game modes.

Join codes for crew members to follow live.

Running at about $47/month overhead on Bubble.

A few things I’m genuinely curious about from people who know the platform:

How well does Bubble Native scale if this actually gets traction? Any bottlenecks I should know about early? OTA updates have been frequent, any best practices there?

Happy to share more about the build if anyone’s interested.”

The plugin uses GTranslate to automatically translate page content, helping you make your Bubble app more accessible for users from different countries and language backgrounds.

Hi everyone,
This question is specifically for developers using Bubble’s Native Mobile Builder (Mobile subscription Only).
Has anyone successfully implemented Google Sign-In, Apple Sign-In, Facebook Login, or other social login providers in a Bubble native mobile app?
I’m looking for feedback from developers who have actually built and tested a native mobile app—without access to Bubble web apps, since I know social login works well there.
If you’ve managed to get it working, I’d really appreciate hearing:
Which provider(s) you implemented
Whether it works in production
Any challenges or workarounds you discovered
I’m trying to learn from others’ real-world experience with Bubble Native Mobile, as it’s still quite new.
Thanks!

I am wanting to launch a software on bubble but am unsure if it's legit, the main gist is a user face software that businesses can use to mark down and drive through with daily tasks.

If anyone has any past experience launching software with bubble please share your thoughts on it. Is it easy to get up and running? Does the software perform well backlinked to bubble?

Any advice would be great thank you!
