If you’ve ever tried to build a feature in Bubble that requires real-time updates—like showing a live preview of user input or validating a password dynamically—you’ve probably noticed the lag. Bubble’s native functionality works but updates only after the user stops typing and waits for about a second. This delay can create a frustrating user experience and slow down your app’s interactivity.
That’s why I’m thrilled to release Input Fast Value, a free plugin that solves this issue by capturing input values and character counts in real time, as users type.
What makes Input Fast Value different?
This plugin bypasses the delay in Bubble’s native workflows and enables true real-time input updates. It’s perfect for creating smoother and more responsive features, such as:
Live previews: Instantly display user input elsewhere in the app, like previewing a post or bio.
Character count tracking: Dynamically update the character count for tweets, descriptions, or inputs with length limits.
Password validation: Provide live feedback on password policies (e.g., “Must include a number”) with green checkmarks updating as the user types.
Seamless integration: Works with standard inputs, textareas, and even rich-text editors.
Use Case: Imagine you’re building a sign-up form with password validation. As the user types, Input Fast Value checks the password and dynamically shows which criteria (uppercase, number, special character, etc.) have been met, providing instant feedback and improving user experience.
I built this plugin to address a common frustration: Bubble’s input lag. Input Fast Value bridges that gap, enabling the speed and responsiveness your users deserve.
Available now for free on the Bubble Marketplace. Give it a try and let me know how it improves your apps!
