Hi everyone,
This is the March community update! You can read February’s update here.
Before I jump into the updates, a couple of headlines:
If you missed it, Nick, the PM leading Mobile, shared that we’re aiming to open up the native mobile editor for public beta no later than June. We know that many of you have been waiting a long time for this feature and we’re just as excited as you are. Make sure you give the full post a read, it also has demos of some of the private beta’s newest features
Speaking of public betas, the AI app generator is officially open for everyone. (Last month, some existing users were still on the waitlist). The team is full-steam-ahead on making the apps you build with this feature as functional and beautiful as possible. More updates on the roadmap below!
In last month’s update, I talked about Bubble’s point of view on the future of visual development and AI. Since then, we’ve already seen some incredible improvements to visual outputs and logic from the AI app generator. I’ll get into the specifics of what shipped and what we’re working on for this feature below. Bubble + AI is going to be the best solution for creating and maintaining production-grade apps on the market, whether or not you know how to code, and we are moving towards that vision very rapidly.
Now, on to the updates!
What we shipped
The AI app generator now generates static imagery as part of its design output! This is a big change even from a few weeks ago. Test it out here. The team is working on dynamic images, which would populate based on your generated app’s sample data, so stay tuned for more updates there very soon.
Behind the scenes, the team has been primarily focused on improving overall output quality. We updated the base model to Claude 3.7 Sonnet and immediately saw improvements to frontend outputs. We’ve also reduced the number of errors in dynamic expressions, leading to fewer issues in the issue tracker and more searches populating correctly.
We shipped location services, the shortlist element, and the selectable list element to the mobile beta. The selectable list element allows you to quickly create a picker or select form without needing to set up custom states or workflows. As I mentioned, you can check out the forum post about the beta roadmap for more details.
Changelog is now available to 100% of users with premium version control! You can toggle it on via the side panel. Initial feedback has been really positive. Since rollout, the team shipped an update that makes it easier for you to see if the collaborator filter is on and fixed an issue a small number of users encountered when completing merges. We also increased the retention window from 3 days to 7 days to give you more flexibility when implementing or reverting changes.
If you’re building with the workflow tab beta, you can now sort workflows by either folder or event type. Read more on the forum here. We also shipped a few quality of life improvements, including making it easier to open the notes panel from actions and adding an icon for mobile actions to users in the mobile beta. See below for our planned next steps!
We also shipped an update that automatically gives all app collaborators the same level of access across Bubble and the security features from the Flusk acquisition.
The updated toolbar (the menu at the top of the editor) is now live for 100% of users! Read more on the forum here.
Finally, in case you missed it, the Bubble homepage got a full refresh. It’s more organized, easier to navigate, and it’s built entirely on Bubble! Check it out here (make sure you’re logged out to view).
What we’re working on
-
AI:
-
App generation: We’re working on the backend requirements that will make it possible for the AI app generator to use our component library to generate outputs. This will make designs look incredibly clean and modern, and it’s an update I’m super excited to get out to you. Right now, we’re aiming to complete that work in the next few weeks.
-
AI streaming: The team is wrapping up work on native API streaming. That release is tentatively scheduled for the end of March.
-
Editing and iteration: Generating apps with AI is just step 1: The real magic will happen when you can seamlessly switch between our visual editing tools and AI prompts to edit apps. We’re doing some behind-the-scenes work to make this possible and will share more in future updates!
-
-
Mobile: We recently kicked off the mobile plugin editor alpha, and we’re working on our execution plan for the mobile debugger. We’re also working on a number of smaller feature based on user feedback, including:
-
Shadows for buttons
-
Adding the ability to read page states in web view
-
Disabling pinch/zooming in web view
-
Adding loading spinners to BubbleGo
Make sure you read more about our mobile roadmap update here.

-
Workflow tab beta: In January, we announced compact mode, which allows you to see an overview of your actions. We’re also working on adding a grid view to give you a broader overview of all workflows, which will give you more options as you build. This would allow you to drag the left-hand panel to see more workflows at once (and collapse when you’re done). We’re also adding zoom controls into the workflow canvas, which will improve the building experience for different monitor sizes. And we’re improving searchability to better highlight your keywords in results and make it easier to find the workflow you’re looking for.
-
App interface manager: The app interface manager will change the way you manage pages/views across web and mobile apps. The goal of this update is to make it easier for you to navigate your apps and stay organized, and we’ll also be giving it a more intuitive look. The app interface manager is still in private beta with a number of users, including the Bubble Ambassadors and Gold Agencies.
-
Settings tab: The settings tab is getting a facelift! This will organize settings by web and mobile and provide a better user experience overall. We’ve been testing it internally and we’re aiming for a mid-March release.
-
Security features: As we integrate the suite of security features from the Flusk acquisition more deeply into our ecosystem, our next step is to make them look more like Bubble too. Stay tuned for more soon. We’re also adding several new entry points to these security features from the editor to make it easier for you to get there when you’re most likely to need them, like setting up an API connection or privacy rules.
