Creating web based drag and drop web apps

[doddsmarketing]

So I am wanting to build a drag and drop web app that is browser based. For example; I am a graphic designer and want to create a character creator app where I upload all the designs, and let the users drag and drop to build a unique character. Then they can download the finished character.

Is something like this doable in Bubble?

Welcome to Bubble. A similar question was asked earlier this week and I shared a few thoughts there:

Possible to create an app like Canva.com?

Much of the basic components and functions of Canva are possible in Bubble, but it’s one of the rarer instances that I wouldn’t actively recommend a Bubble-based approach. There’s a fair amount of advanced image manipulation within Canva that I don’t feel Bubble is a solid fit for. (And that’s OK; Bubble focus is not on building graphic design applications). Otherwise, most of the basic constructs of storing data, selecting images from a database, etc, that’s do-able).

Drag and drop is certainly possible. But it will likely have some constraints. Creating composite elements that export in a friendly format, resizing objects and such that may give you a good bit of difficulty.

I love the idea doddsmarketing… I also wanted to do something similar but not so complicated I think. I would like to create an app where the user can move images and create a file…Think of Allseated.com where they use graphics to create a floorplan by adding tables and other pieces of furniture. I dont’ want it to be complicated, it is just that I don’t know how many items a person is going to choose. If I could figure this out I can sell the “app” and not make it customer for each person.
