Bubble has lost its way

I was brought here by someone who tagged me in a private message and I received an email. I find it incredible how, since years ago, when I abandoned Bubble after the new price change, it is still skating in the same place. And there are still people who defend it tooth and nail!

With the exception of Bubble’s “representatives”, I cannot understand how, in 2025 and in the age of artificial intelligence, people still insist on being hostages of Bubble! Even more surprising is to come across, YEARS after coming back here, and see the SAME complaints from 2020, 2021!!!

For God’s sake, I replicated my 2 microsaas and my browser extension using HTML, CSS and JS and Firebase for free, using IA and hosted on Github for free! And all of them is making money!

People have really become blind and hostages of Bubble!

Why does Bubble live in your head rent free still?

From reading your comment, it sounds like you’re upset that Bubble didn’t collapse after the temper tantrum you threw…

or, is it the fact that there are still tons of people that are happy with Bubble and make a good income from it?

Either way, haunting the forum isn’t a good look for you.

Hey everyone,

A post about Bubble’s decline is drawing attention, that says a lot.

Let’s be honest. Almost every comment here, good or bad, comes from people who want the same thing. We want Bubble to get better.

But here’s the problem.

Five years ago, people weren’t questioning Bubble every day. Now it happens all the time.

This isn’t about love or hate.

It’s about one simple question.

Is Bubble doing the job?

No.

Bubble doesn’t listen until things get out of control. Bugs stay for years. Problems are ignored.

Yes, Bubble has improved. But not enough. Not for the level of growth, funding, or user base it has today.

At some point, Bubble needs to make a choice.

Be like Apple. Closed but polished.

Be like Android. Chaotic but flexible.

Right now, it’s the worst of both.

And the more time they spend chasing new features, the less time they spend fixing what really matters.

Bugs. Performance. Technical debt.

That is the real problem.

It means they’ve achieved product market fit, which is very hard to do. Customers being mad at you is a good thing. You won’t understand this until you grow up.

That might be the most absurd take I’ve seen in a while. People don’t get mad because things are going well. They get mad because their concerns are being ignored.

They get mad because they depend on the product (i.e. what I said in my last post).

If users are mad because they depend on the product, that isn’t product-market fit. It’s broken trust.

Dependence creates responsibility, and ignoring that responsibility leads to frustration. That isn’t strength. It’s failure.

Bubble is down again today, but hey, at least we have a shiny new workflow tab nobody asked for. :upside_down_face:
