Questions
7

Hey @ulrich_00132,

  1. What are you passionate about?
  2. How could an app help you?
  3. What kind of data/information is relevant to your passions?
  4. Build small things, do experiements, PLAY. Bubble’s an amazing sandbox to try new ideas.

Suggested Project Level: GET STARTED)

Make a SIMPLE website, QuiCKLy. Get some confidence pushing things around.
I mean, you can make a website in 10 seconds… It’ll be awfully simple, but heck, you’re cookin online now buddy!
Get to know the basics of shapes, groups, text, pictures.

Make a picture album
Make a menu for a restaurant
Build your resume online.

These ideas are all static. They don’t deal with changing data.

Suggested Project Level 2: RESPONSIVE)

Learn about making things responsive
-fixed width
-learn how to use the responsive and UI builder tabs.

Play play play. learn how to make things be responsive.
Could you make that album, menu, resume look good on a small cell phone? a tablet? a TV?

As you explore and play, you’ll get to experiment, fail, and succeed at bringing your vision into reality.

Suggested Project Level 3: DATABASE)

Make some things!
Make a to do list with an input box and a repeating group.
Add a delete button to those items.

Make it pretty.
Figure out how to make a full screen button for your home screen. (That’s kinda advanced, but things look way better and feel more like a real app)

USE your todo/shopping list.

Suggested Project Level 4: USERS)

Figure out how to make users.
Add users to your todo/shopping list…
Share this amazeballz website with your friends. Have them login and use the thing.

After this site is working,

Try making a messaging app.

Suggested Project Level 5: STATES)

A database is a place to store all of the information of your website. At it’s simplest, it’s kinda like a physical warehouse of servers (computers) that sits somewhere and holds your data… I’m guessing Bubble’s database servers are in New York?!? I dunno. As Bubble grows, they’ll have servers all over.

That’s all well n good. But talking to those servers can take time. so… Learn about STATES.

Make a stopwatch that saves its values in STATES.

States are great.

Those are some things to get you started.
The most important thing, @emmanuel always says this, is to have a CLEAR idea about what you want to build.

Have fun

and…

Happy Bubblin!

your friend,

Ashley
