While building some pages today, I kept jumping between using the responsive engine and Bubble Classic (That’s my nickname for it). I started noticing that more complex pages seemed to take more time with the responsive engine over using Bubble Classic. I thought I would post a friendly question.
Does anyone prefer using the classic engine over the responsive engine? If so, why?
Note: I want to point out that there are certain things I like about both engines, but some things like images seem to be much easier in Bubble Classic.
It’s more to do with pages using complex repeating groups. For example, I may have a RG with 15 data points on each row (Pulling from multiple data types). Getting everything to align perfectly has been an issue for me.
It can always be user error, but I found the old system a little easier for these scenarios.
I also should have been more detailed in my original post. I meant the development time for complex pages was a little tougher. It could just be me needing to find the right methodology.
No, not really. On the old engine I kept on tweaking and tweaking the responsiveness. On the new one its very clear what will happen. I use the tree structure combined with a couple of pixels of padding while building to be able to select the different elements quickly and once the overall tech and design is ready I remove unwanted padding.
But the freedom of design the old engine offered I do sometimes miss. Saturday morning, a cup of coffee, a clean Bubble canvas in front of you and being able to draw exactly what you want was such an experience.
