Bubble genuinely changed the game

Entrepreneurship

Bubble has genuinely changed the game. I just want to be sure to thank the team for their endless hard work. All of their new features they are working on. The continued reliability over the last years, and the open ability to code anything your mind can think of.

Ive recommended many to build with bubble, and will continue to do so. Ive built my app and its changed my life, and they have created a subscriber for life with me. I am about to start my second bubble app in the next few months.

When companies do well, I wish to share it with others.

Im incredibly grateful for this platform and wish nothing but continued success to the bubble team and everyone building their apps.

THANK YOU BUBBLE TEAM <3

Just making sure Iā€™m following: the app you already built, which looks like a pretty small setup (maybe 15 fields or so), is the one that changed your life? If so, thatā€™s pretty cool. Interesting how even simple builds can have a big impact.

I was going to do similar post (may still do) as was using bubble all over Xmas & New year building something very cool and litterally in a constant state of positivity & awe for days on end and it really is all down to bubble.

I fear that when new users first see this forum they may not get the best impression - lots of passionate people who are vocally willing bubble to improve in every area - which is great, but when focusing on the gripes & areas to improve, it can have the side effect of the forum feeling like itā€™s quite negative sometimes, and I wish new users would be able to see the flip side too - how much positivity & great stuff it brings to the table, how much stuff it does well and does right. It really is an amazing platform :sun_with_face::folded_hands:t2::heart:

@emmanuel @josh and team - you are appreciated, youā€™re making peopleā€™s lives better, keep going, keep positive. Have a wonderful 2026 and beyond :oncoming_fist:t2::collision:

Business aside, it makes people happy that they can just build stuff. Gives you control and makes you excited to be able to just make something cool happen. Itā€™s why I started Bubble.

Thank you for your post, this means a lot. Yes, the forum tends to be the place where people give feedback; its always valuable, but can be harsh and negative at times.

Itā€™s something Josh and I often repeat to the team. From the inside, we basically only hear the tough feedback, complains, problems, but not necessarily how much impact Bubble has had on our users. We started inviting users for live interviews at All Hands so that the team hears more about this, because thatā€™s why our team members joined Bubble in the first place, and we want to make sure they rememberā€¦

So THANK YOU for the support in this post, this has more impact than you think. For new users visiting the forum, but also for the team.

Bubble also changed my life. Without it I couldnā€™t have start my company. I quit my job that I didnā€™t like and now do what I really want. Thank you for that Bubble.

I have always said that ā€œforums are like the hospitals of the internet.ā€ Itā€™s where people go when they have problems.

At the same, there are two types of harshness. One is the chronic complainer who just wants an outlet for the negativity. This is equivalent to the crazy person ranting on the street yelling at random bystanders. These are the people who post ā€œBubble sucks and X platform is unequivocally better.ā€

But then thereā€™s the second type of harshness thatā€™s like a family member who just wants the best for you. So theyā€™re gonna give you brutally honest criticism that might be tough to swallow, but is whatā€™s best for you.

You can differentiate the second type because the criticism is usually packaged with a specific and well thought out solution.

Finally, some of this is due to the nature of the product itself. Some days I think to myself ā€œBubble is too good to be trueā€ and hours later I think ā€œHas anyone at Bubble ever tried to build a Bubble app?ā€ You guys have certainly hit product market fit. When users depend on your product enough to get angry about it, thatā€™s the ultimate sign of success.

I think what happens when it comes to Bubbleā€¦

someone discovers it and has that ā€˜ahaā€™ moment where they realize they can now put their idea into action and start profiting from it without needing to pay 10s of thousands of dollars in developer fees.

Then, over time, they get more involved with the whole app culture, code, etc., and start thinking of everything they could add that they think would make their app better. They then come up with what they see as limitations.

Although, I donā€™t know of many limitations with Bubble. You can virtually create anything in Bubble if you use code. Butā€¦

the real question is, are any of those extras really necessary to create money?

I catch myself falling for the nonsense sometimes that I need to have flashy cards or spinning this or that and remind myself that doesnā€™t equate to a bigger bottom line. Yes, theyā€™re fun to have and look neat, but donā€™t add anything to the bottom line.

So, anyway, without rambling on forever, I think Bubble does exactly what itā€™s meant to do, in the best way anyone could do it. I also think itā€™s great that Bubble is continuing to expand, add things, and even make things easier
