Additional development features for bubble.io

Questions
1

I am curious how other devs and agencies handle the development process for their Bubble apps. What other tools are used?

Is there anything missing that would help improve the ongoing development and release process?

Typical code dev teams would have sprints, kanban boards, automated testing, version control, code reviews, continuous deployment etc.

I use several tools for very specific, singular things (API testing, screen recording, etc.), but no matter what I’m doing, I’m organizing it in Notion. I practically live there.

Same here, work out of Notion and use several tools for workshopping, designing, asset creation.

Any chance you could share these tools? @romanmg

Big ones are here in this video.

The ones I’m always in and out of:

  • Loom, Vimeo, or OBS for screen recording
  • Talend API Tester is an API Chrome extension. Similar to Postman, but more lightweight
  • ChatGPT
  • A color picker browser extension (there’s a ton of them)
  • Responsive Viewer is another Chrome extension where you can preview multiple screen sizes simultaneously
  • I also use different browsers to cross test designs and niche functionality that might have different behavior.
  • LastPass for sharing/revoking access to sensitive accounts between teams, clients, etc.

  • NQU Secure (free security, unsubtly owned by us)

@romanmg @georgecollier
Great lists thank you for sharing. Anything else to help with development when using Bubble?

I sometimes find development workflow is a little awkward, maybe automated testing, comments and scheduled deployments are missing.

loom
make
chatgpt
claude (does better for app mockups)
notepad++
my own bubble app to manage tasks/projects/invoicing/client portal - I couldn’t find anything that did what I wanted so I just built it instead.
