Building consumer products to a thankless crowd is tough gig.

From a user interface perspective, I do agree with this:

@emmanuel this is my biggest pain point with Bubble. I want pre-built UI components, similar to Apple’s UIKit framework. I am tired of spending hours trying to get pixels to look perfect.

For example, when building an iOS app, you just add a tab bar, which has a pre-set design. You don’t have to determine the tab bar height, icon size, item spacing, selected state, etc. You don’t have to customize responsiveness. It just works.

Look at Bootstrap - if you put a header on a page, it is pre-designed, collapses on mobile, has a mobile menu, and requires zero customization to work.

I’d love a fixed UI framework that allows you to build an admin dashboard for a middle-market business, without having to think about design customization.
