AI Builders vs Bubble

Idea

Message to @josh

Hey Josh if you want Bubble to win in the long run add code editor to Bubble. Allow devs to make changes to Design, Workflows, DB on a code level.
Gen AI has already proven to be great with code.

This strategic move will make Bubble relevant to trad devs. Without them AI builders are going to take over brother. No way to compete.

@bestbubbledev so true. We still can’t scaffold.

I haven’t found an AI builder nearly as useful as bubble

I think they should develop what the power users have been requesting for years. There is a hard cap on what we can do with bubble because of some very basic limitations. For example …

  • Client side loops
  • Supporting custom data types in API calls
  • Fixing the janky plugin builder
  • Add async to plugin actions instead of relying on events
  • MB limitation in server side npm packages, making page crawling with browsers impossible (this is actually a huge problem and is the reason why we don’t have great server side pdf generators yet)

This is just naming a few. Adding code in the way you’re wanting it is a bad idea in my opinion since we already have plugins. Just make plugins better and easier to use!

Edit: want to add another thing:

Allow us to store duplicate things in a list… It’s really ridiculous that I can’t do this. An array having the same thing twice is pretty damn standard

First off, lower the cost of WU.
Then bring in an AI builder.

Fix things first before adding more.
