Crazy stuff @josh - thanks for these updates!

josh:

We’re doing this gradually so that the team can tackle bugs and make sure the product is working well as we scale.

Any news yet on the ability to extend the capabilities by publishing plugins? We’ve got a list of applications to be built for clients at Zeroic and would love to have this

josh:

If you’re building on an Agency account, we just added some updates ‌to help you stay organized and grow your agency

This was a much-needed update and I hope things go upward from here wrt agencies. Would love to have more stats for agency owners going forward

A progress tracker indicating how far an agency is from its next tier (revenue, CSAT, projects, certified devs etc)
Time spent by devs across applications (these data points will help a lot in terms of scoping and allocating resources + getting an idea of productivity). This is when it’ll make sense to actually pay $80+ for an additional seat, at the moment, there’s not much value for an agency. It’s easier to have devs onboarded as collaborators (most of our work is on existing applications on higher tiers and 1-2 devs work per project which is why it makes sense financially to not have seats, and instead add them directly)
Agency profile metrics (views, clicks, highly converting projects)

josh:

We’re starting to include Flusk features on Bubble pricing plans without requiring a separate Flusk subscription. Features will vary by plan, so stay tuned.

Looking forward to this one. Next acquisition - Bask? Plugin devs are crying out there lmao

We’re beginning work on the React Native mobile plugin editor, starting with foundational user research and project scoping.*

Will this allow us to build Plugins for the react environment @josh

aestela · 2024-11-01T20:07:29.484Z

and API Connector… this should be native within the editor and not through a plugin

gnelson · 2024-11-01T20:35:06.606Z

How many mobile beta testers are you adding each time? I’m pretty sure I signed up very early on, yet I’ve not yet received an invite.

@josh just wondering about the proposed regional hosting you mentioned back when bubble was having their reliability issues.
Is this anywhere near close to being on the roadmap?

I was speaking to one of the engineers and it’s something they can only really do once they finish current platform related work around reliability/performance/tech debt - after that, they can think about stuff like that. Regional hosting is one of my bingo items to be announced at next BubbleCon

randomanon · 2024-11-02T02:59:46.913Z

Can you guys fix these?

Yay an answer!!! I really can’t wait, we are more and more building for corporate and we’ve had a bunch of no’s solely on data sovereignty

georgecollier · 2024-11-02T08:34:07.758Z

chad5:

Yay an answer!!!

I mean it’s not an answer… it’s just their unofficial thinking. The part about not being able to do it before current platform issues is definitely the case, but whether they want to do regional hosting after that is a different question. Point is, not in the next 6-9 months.

Finally, we’ve heard from plugin developers that you want access to more info about sales, user retention, and churn for your plugins. Sales data reports now show customer IDs so you can track transactions easily. Read more about this update on the forum here .

Would this also be possible for template developers?

brickstech · 2024-11-02T15:45:56.544Z

Completely agreed. Right now there is no reason to have any extra seats. Transparency around tiers is extremely limited.

Interesting. Will this be happening on the editor itself?
Glad to see its not increasing price - hopefully it doesn’t in the future either.

Great work team! Really appreciate the work behind the scenes and the update.

Do we have any news on the speed of page loads? This for me is critical. I know it was touched upon during the conference but it would be great to be in the loop of the progress. For me and i’m sure for may others, it’s really starting to be something that is a priority.

chad5 · 2024-11-03T05:12:09.922Z

I’d love to see their log feature in the bubble platform

fede.bubble · 2024-11-05T19:09:29.514Z

8 posts were split to a new topic: Page load speeds and SEO optimizations

ti13 · 2024-11-05T14:58:24.343Z

Very GOOD!

fede.bubble · 2024-11-05T18:40:10.095Z

A reminder to please keep discussion on topic, otherwise starting a new topic is the way to go.

Thanks!
