I wonder what happened to those promises of Bubble Con 2024

First of all, you’re dead wrong. Parallel processing is an absolute must for AI agents to function properly which is probably the #1 trend in software, to the point where even OpenAI had to release an Agent Builder to compete with n8n etc.

5 minute cap on workflows and no parallel processing is an absolute joke in 2025/2026.

They ultimately lost hundreds of millions of dollars to a new wave of slop builders and automation tools because the platform has functionally remained the same since 2023 instead of being THE place to build AI SaaS + automations.

They still think people are going to join/grow Bubble by building point of sale software for laundromats. That’s over with. Those niches have been conquered already.

They still think that mobile apps will be the next “killer product,” despite mobile apps being a 2009 trend and not even all that profitable due to the 30% Apple hike.

The only sliver of hope I have left is @emmanuel recently stating his dissatisfaction with how JSON is handled by the API connector during a recent live stream. Maybe he also has a gut feeling that they’ve lost their way and is trying to reconnect with the community.

I warned them in February about what’s coming but not much progress since then.
