The new mobile editor is really awesome! I have been trying to recreate different layouts, and the only limitation I’m running into is the ability to create a dynamic list of clickable tags that wrap vertically (similar to these tags):
On the horizontal list element, would it be possible to have a “List type” dropdown with the options: “Horizontal scroll, Reverse horizontal scroll, and Wrap vertically”?
Same here. When building with mobile, we have to stop trying to make mobile work the way we do via the web app and building according to how mobile works and displays. Take example from ON Running and how the filters display. Resize screen for different views.
If you download their app, you’ll see that the way the same filters show are via bottom sheets.
To display filters on mobile, you have to understand how users are familiar with seeing these. A bottom sheet or a floating group is the approach here. I’ve had to wrap my head around the 4 types of mobile views and work around how the data can be shown or its allowed to show.
I’m pretty sure the limitations on the builder with the basic components from the Bubble team (@nick.carroll can probably vouch for my assumptions) is to make sure the app gets approved with the minimal hiccups.
All of my navigation and menus/submenus are from option sets and my app is very dynamically setup (@abdul from BrokerLoop can chime in as he saw it in person) and I’m realizing that I have to clone every table or reusable element that displays a repeating group into a view, and make that tab with active/underline status.
Also, native mobile apps are very user centric and should be focused on specific functionality for fast and ease of use (and not what we’ve been able to do with optimized mobile web apps).
These have been my thoughts and how I’ve coped and instead of trying to “fight against” and try to force certain ways into native mobile, I’ve embraced how mobile apps need to function and what the user experience needs to be, rather than what we want the app to do or glue our admin functions into it.
The new selectable list will have this option, and will also remember the selected items in the list so this type of UI should be much easier to build!
