Just saw this message, Keith. Sorry about the late reply.

Turning off cookies on page load makes for a faster load for new users (who don’t have cookies set on them). This was a performance recommendation given to us by the bubble team.

Running an app with this setting requires you to opt users into cookies IF you’d like to save data about the users before they’ve created an account. This can be done via a bubble workflow action.

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Bubblers,

Two exciting announcements:

  1. We’ve launched the ability to add custom responsive pages to your Canvas app - please see this thread for more details
  2. We’ve also launched the ability to update all of the colors in your Canvas application with just a few clicks - please this video for how to do that

Hey,

Can you please help me understand a little bit more about Canvas, This is what I learned so far:

  • Canvas Template only works with when it’s linked to AirDev server
  • To add a page, I must buy credits, Credits that I have to purchase (3 given for free)
  • I cannot transfer any of these pages to any other app and expect it to function correctly.
  • I cannot modify these pages directly in bubble

Hi @mohsen,

Thank you for your interest in Canvas! To answer your questions:

  • Canvas Template only works with when it’s linked to AirDev server
    The Canvas Template is a standalone app that is free for anyone to use. You can choose to either build on top of the Canvas foundation app by yourself or add visual layouts / pre-built widgets using Canvas Pages. The latter will require you to add dev@airdev.co to your app as a collaborator so we can add pages and groups to your app (using custom automation that we’ve built).

  • To add a page, I must buy credits, Credits that I have to purchase (3 given for free)
    We give users 3 free credits to start because we want users to try out Canvas Pages before they decide to purchase any credits. The standard page layout is free. We have three different credit packages that are available (basic, pro, enterprise).

  • I cannot transfer any of these pages to any other app and expect it to function correctly.
    These pages are most compatible with the Canvas template because 1) they use the canvas app styles, 2) some pages may refer to the canvas app database fields 3) they work best with the responsive settings in Canvas app. These pages can still function if you move them to another app but like any transfer of assets between apps, you need to ensure that the app you are pasting this page into has the same styles, database fields, and responsive settings. If not, you would have to manually reconnect everything to the corresponding styles and fields.

  • I cannot modify these pages directly in bubble
    You can definitely modify these pages directly in bubble. A lot of our users add pages to their apps and build on top of it :smiley:

Hope this helps!

Hi @stephanie @vlad ,

I have bought some Assets but when I want to create a new page with any of them, it shows me that I need some Credits again.

Can you help me with that?

55

Hi @byIR - yep, you should indeed be able to buy them once and then use them as many times as you need. We’ll take a look and get back to you via email.

Two quesitons:

(1) I don’t understand the logic behind the idea of making bubble reigstration/login page throung airdev canvas admin panel? Especially, I am concered about transfering personal data to a third party (bubble is already a third party, they at least applied for SOC2 Type II certificaiton. Did AIrdev applied for it?)

(2) secndly, how does a separete login/signup page aligns with the idea of a native app, where all the elelments are on the same page, and the user never leaves that page.

The questions are based on this tutorial – https://youtu.be/vzYa6G6VM18. perhaps there are better options available in Canvas to handle (1) and (2), but so far I am leaning towards droping the idea of using canvas as it looks premature.
