Hey everyone!
I’m super excited to introduce 
Buildprint - the AI tool Bubble should have built
Generate documentation for free at getbuildprints.com
Buildprint automatically generates technical documentation for your entire Bubble app - covering pages, reusables, workflows, backend, APIs, and much more.
As an agency, we specialise in taking over complex apps, often weighed down by pretty heavy technical debt. Being able to deeply understand these apps and their logic is a game-changer for us. That’s exactly why we built Buildprint - and I’m thrilled to share it with the community too.
Now, let’s be honest: documentation for the sake of documentation is fairly useless. After trying existing tools, I realised I didn’t just want a huge dump of everything the app does. Instead, I focused on the purpose of documentation - what real problems it should help you solve.
With Buildprint, you can:
Instantly generate diagrams and flowcharts for your workflows
Understand user flows and how features are implemented
Easily explore how to build or modify features
Export your docs as Markdown to save, or use with other LLMs
Buildprint helps you go beyond just reading your app - it’s designed to help you understand it and grow it.
Examples
Logic flows
In this example, I generate a flow-chart of how audits are run in NQU Secure, which is complex as there’s plenty of security requirements to allow a user to run an audit.
I also get a step-by-step (action-by-action) explanation of what happens and why.
Database relationships and uses
In NQU Secure, apps have collaborators, but agencies exist too and agencies can also have superadmin access to their apps. It can be a bit hard to wrap your head around. It’s a little easier when it’s visualised for you.
Adding new features
Let’s say, I’d like to add Stripe billing in NQU Secure, and I’d like users to subscribe once for each app they connect. Buildprint can help me understand how to implement this into my existing app flow, with a hyper-detailed build guide that follows the conventions of your own app.
We get a workflow by workflow, action by action guide of how to set this up, as well as the database changes needed to facilitate it.
Modifying existing features
We might want to know - how the hell do we change this feature that we built many months ago? Let’s find out - ‘how can I add a ‘daily’ backup option in addition to the existing ones?’
Here, it correctly comes up with the solution, that is aware of the option sets and workflows in use for this feature. It’s just a simple case of adding a new option with that frequency option.
How to access
I intend to keep a free plan available as long as possible, but AI is pretty expensive for this case so we’ll see how that goes. NQU Secure has been kept free, and I hope I can do the same for Buildprint!

Roadmap
In the near future, I’ll be adding:
- best practice guidelines to ensure that new features guides are implemented effectively
- different modes e.g tech debt advisory, security review, design
- auto-sync with editor to skip manual uploads
- …and more
