I have a complex project that is reaching the limits of Bubble’s capabilities. It’s got supabase as a backend already, and weirdly have just heard about weweb for the first time.
There’s almost no content online on the material differences between the two (aside from the fact that weweb is only a frontend, which is fine for me in this case) but from what I can see in a bit of playing around in the editor it seems that the no-code UI layer is a lot more closely aligned with the actual javascript happening behind it, and actually allows you to get into the javascript on pretty much every element - which opens up quite a lot more flexibility.
Anyone have any experience with it? What did you like/not-like compared to Bubble?
If you’re just using Bubble as a front-end, don’t use Bubble, because it’s a crap front-end.
Only use Bubble if you’re using both its front-end and backend. Otherwise use WeWeb with your backend of choice, as it’s designed for that purpose.
I have just been on Bubble for so long that it feels like second nature to me so I guess I’ve not looked at alternatives and just assumed that Bubble was the most powerful no-code frontend… and therefore defaulted to using it, despite the fact that I pretty much only use it as a frontend now.
What kind of limitations are you hitting?
if you have an external database do not use bubble
I switched to weweb and xano 6 months ago for all new projects and it has been an absolute dream I cannot speak highly enough of both platforms
I still use bubble for very simple apps but almost everything now I build on weweb/xano it’s been the best decision. very difficult to change and unlearn all the bad/lazy habits of building on bubble and it was a steep learning curve but man what a huge improvement.

I really want to test it, but my project is huge, with dozens of pages and integrations with other systems… I’m phobic just thinking about redoing everything from scratch
