Suggestion: Ability to “show” hidden elements in the editor by default - Even if they are not visible on page load.
We all know that hiding an element then showing when you need to is a great performance gain for your Bubble app - But it makes things clunky when you’re using the editor. Each time you load a page to edit that has hidden elements on page load, the element is invisible - Leading to large blank spaces on your editor page - Requiring you to manually un-hide each time.
For SPA apps, it’s a killer if you have 25 hidden groups on a page.
My Recommendation:
Example 1:
BEFORE:
AFTER (put an overlay on top of hidden elements, so when you open up a new page, you can SEE what all hidden elements you have without having to click into each one):
Example 2:
BEFORE: (Notice it’s just a large blank expanse…)
AFTER
How would it be done?
Make it an option in the Grids and Border menu - “Outline hidden elements”:
Notes:
-
This would not apply to popups/floating groups. Recommendation is to start with groups/repeating groups first.
-
Clicking on the eye icon at the top left of the outline would unhide it so you can rapidly edit right there.
This idea was brought to you by a co-worker who was tired of working on MVPs with me and going to pages with 10 hidden elements (for maximum performance) and wondering where the heck they needed to make changes!
