Im about to leave bubble😅

who here has insider intel on when bubble will release the mobile editor?

It’s done when it’s done. Even if they were to release it tomorrow it will still be at least 6 months before it reaches a reliable state.

You are about to leave because the mobile editor is not done? I hope you didn’t arrive because of the mobile editor.

More than likely it will not be something worth trying to build in until Q1 2026

I have used the beta and it’s nothing to be excited about yet. Still much work to be done. There are a lot of features that are still being worked on. There is a lot you can do with Bubble without the mobile editor. I would focus on that first. :man_shrugging:

They advertise like this. I get to know about bubble because they said they have mobile nocode

The Bubble landing page does not mention mobile. It’s a footnote. Even when you click it, the page shows a waitlist.

It states there: “Sign up for the mobile waitlist”

This type of prectice is called “misleading”
Bubble is already a lot behind other mobile platform like flutterflow instead of mobile they need to focus on their web apps side which is worsening

I think it is hard for management to get their strategy right and to focus. When Bubble started, mobile was not that important as it is now and AI was nowhere. Today mobile is very important and becoming more so. And AI can write software. It can even rewrite a platform like Bubble.

So what do you do…you have all those customers and a culture and a particular mindset.

Not easy

Actually it is very common. If you take a snapshot of the S&P 500 every 15 years you will be amazed.

Bubble has taken on 100 million in funding and what do you do? You try to make your product better and add features. That seems like a no brainer. Often it is better to take your best programmers and leaders, give them 10 million and 12 months to build the next big thing that will blow Bubble out of the water easily. But in reality this almost never happen.

Perhaps it would have been smarter to fully focus on web and build the ultimate saas building platform. Mobile is such a different ball game. It also brings in many complexity’s that I think Bubble was not fully aware of when they announced their mobile plan.

Eventually we decided to go with build natively. You get lots of functionality. They could have bought them a year ago. Then people would have their mobile app with so many features that it would work just fine for 80% of the people. Those 20% will be lost anyway to FlutterFlow and others focusing on mobile only.

But again, it is easy from the sidelines and we have to give credit for them trying! Let’s hope they can pull it off!

It’s always been since the last seven years.
7 years we are enough time to make a quick decision and work on it.

You mean market shifts right but tech trends are more flexible than that, you can see in every 3 years technology come and go.

It’s very surprising that companies like bubble don’t have minds that can give them a full disclosure.

We are not buildings side projects we are building real businesses and we want a sustainable platform not one who are still figuring out what to do.

What’s misleading about it? It literally says join the waitlist in search and on the landing page.

Pretty sure Bubble was not built to for native mobile development from the get go. That’s why the new mobile editor will not be interchangeable with the current one.

Web apps are what come to mind when I think Bubble. Web apps are responsive after all. When i first signed up native mobile was not even a footnote. In fact I’m still surprised they are developing a native version of Bubble.

I don’t see any misleading.

Before reading this you should know the definition of full stack.
Now, Just have a look in the first link and the second link when normal person who didn’t know about neither the first not the latter, how can we distinguish that one is saying him to join the wait list.

In fact if by chance he click the second link and goes to bubble and then sign-up using email and then joins the wish list he will of course and of course go back to the first link and mind his business there.

So it is clearly a big MISLEADING Content or ad here
I don’t know why you guys are so over protective, or maybe your first language is not English.

@prosto.duda thanks for sharing this type of act

Firstly, that’s not an ‘ad’.

Secondly, the search snippet doesn’t mention mobile or native apps…

So what are you referring to? There’s nothing misleading there at all.

The fact that it’s showing up when searching for Mobile Nocode App is down to Google (although for me, Bubble only shows up on page 4 for that search term on Google)…

But Bubble makes no claims to be a Mobile App builder on their website, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about to be honest.

You are not honest to be very Frank, you definitely know what I am talking about.

Check out both screenshots can’t you see it’s saying react native apps, and MOBILE APPLICATIONS ,the description is made so to make people believe what they are reading.
It’s misleading for sure,

And it was my mistake for as “ad” part, it’s actually how it’s appear on search.

But we won’t ship your machine to other people :rofl:

I think you misunderstand what full stack means…Full stack is not unique to native mobile apps. It’s a term to represent both the front end and backend of a web application. Which is what Bubble offers. A web app that supports both desktop and mobile.

From rendering client side on the browser to backend processing and deployment.

In your image, the search link still goes to the waitlist…

Nope… you’ve lost me there (I still don’t know what you’re talking about).

The first link you posted points to a landing page which CLEARLY explains the mobile builder is in Beta and there is a waiting list to join to access it.

I’m not sure which part of that you’re having difficulty understanding?

The second link makes no mention of native Mobile or React Native apps - so again, Im not sure what you’re referring to, what point you’re trying to make, or where the confusion lies.

Anyway, if you think Bubble is a native mobile app builder, you’re wrong - it’s not - it never has been, and probably won’t be for some time.

And if you don’t think that then, what are you confused or misled about?

Having worked in the app world for years…

I feel pretty confident when I say those that feel they need to have an app in the app store to be successful are most often those who are inexperienced when it comes to apps.

If you can’t get a web app to be successful, you will never get an app in the app store to be successful…look at the app stores’ statistics if you don’t believe this.

It is frustrating to me that so many have this burning desire to ‘be legitimate’ with an app in the app store. Nonsense.

Focus on getting your web app successful and then if in the future you feel you still need to be in the app store, work on that.

It’s good Bubble is working on the ability to build native apps for those that really feel their success depends on it as I’m sure there will be plenty that think they’ve suddenly found the answer for their future success.

Don’t confuse effort with results when it comes to the business world and being successful.

It says mobile application isn’t that sufficient. ? Read each line in detail.

First link says native mobile apps.
And then context is

So what’s so ignorance upto ??
Read last 7 posts and then have some context we are taking about normal people who are mislead to believing that bubble allow them to build native application, ie android ios apps, and when someone clicks they are said that it’s in beta and please enter email.
That’s misleading you are saying something on the door and when someone enters it’s something else.
Closing your eyes don’t change the situation :slightly_smiling_face:
