I’m Jennifer Javier, product manager at Bubble, and I work with the Platform team to help improve Bubble’s infrastructure. I’m excited to share that next month, we’re adopting the SolidJS library to reduce resting memory usage in the Bubble editor — meaning a faster, better app editing experience for you. We’d like to give you a preview of the upgrades and get your help testing the new framework before it rolls out to everyone.
Starting today, if you add the parameter &newautorun=true to your Bubble app editor url, you can start editing with the new framework. You can expect snappier editor performance moving from page to page and navigating across editor tabs (Design, Data, Workflow… etc.).
Note: This improvement is still undergoing testing and you may experience bugs. Any discrepancies with visuals in the editor shouldn’t affect your apps in production.
Please report any issues in this thread or to our Support chatbot (let us know it might be related to “SolidJS”).
This update is just the start and unlocks some exciting work for us to make Bubble and your apps faster and more performant, so we’re looking forward to rolling this out fully by late July!
Now that is a good announcement! I was tired of all these other announcements that felt like a waste of money and time. Editor improvements, now that I can get behind! Great job! I will add the parameter to start testing it out today.
this is about editor performance, not your apps, but the statement you quoted was likely was made to reflect the broad base work that Bubble is doing to improve the speed of both the editor and our apps.
This significantly improves the page load times within the editor exclusively. That means that you can switch between pages/reuseable elements in less than a second, which minimises the disruption when you want to move around your app. I’ve been testing it and it really is very good. Thanks Bubble!
Edit: It has always resulted in increased memory consumption for me (Chrome) compared to the old version, but I’m fine with that as the end result is faster.
I’m not seeing that, and if I did, it’d be nothing to do with this update. This update solely concerns the editor, and is completely optional (and disabled by default).
