New to Bubble! A few questions :)

Hello all,

I am new to Bubble, but I am learning pretty quick. My plan is to launch a social network that connects people with great ideas with people who would like to start a company.

I am almost done with my application - but I am still missing some features, and I am kinda lost…

The challenge is:

I would like my users to choose 3 skills and afterwards give them the ability to rate how good they are at the specific skills. I would like to show this by using colors (red, yellow. green) but I can’t find out how to safe the data and how to show the data for the specific user.

Furthermore, I was wondering how much a Bubble site can handle? Is it possible to handle over 10k users for an example?

Best,
Simon

Hello Simon,

I would like to extend my welcome to you, I don’t currently know a proper way of doing your questions right now, but I’m sure someone can help you soon. To answer your second questions, if you’re on “Hobby” plan, it won’t be able to really handle 10K users, your platform would probably receive immense lag and nothing would work as it should, if you’re serious about creating a full on social platform, I’d recommend upgrading that project to one of the highest plans available, but you can wait to do that until the majority of your social media is finished to help save a bit of money.

Sincerely,
Gregory

Hi Gregory,

Thank you for your answer!

I actually have another questions you might could help with :slight_smile:

How do i filter in repeating groups? I would like to filter by the answers my users has given in the sign up process.

Regarding the plans, would one of the higher plans be able to handle over 10-20k users?

Best,
Simon

You can do this by either doing a “Do search for…” and filtering it through that or by clicking at the end of the condition called “:filter” and using information.

I will also addon to this with a link to our amazing lessons for Bubble.is.

For your final question, I’m not entirely sure, I’ll tag @emmanuel to help answer this question.

Thank you. And what about traffic?

Let’s say we have 100k monthly visits and 20k users. Could the site handle that with one of the larger plans?

Best,
Simon

That will be a question Emmanuel can probably answer, Emmanuel is one of the creators of Bubble, he will probably be able to provide you more accurate information about the Bubble plans and their abilities. :smiley:

Okay, looking forward to his respond :slight_smile:
I am currently facing a problem:

I have created a repeating group where users can upload ideas. I have created the fields under ‘‘Users’’. But the problem is, every time a user registers - the user automaticly creates an ‘‘empty’’ idea.

I hope you can help

Best,
Simon

Yes, when a User registers it create a new User field, now what you want to do is when users add a new “idea” make changes to user and add the idea to the user’s list of ideas, which means you should have your “idea” datatype set to “List of Texts”, or you could alternatively create a new “thing” called “Ideas” and create datatypes for that, then go back to your User thing and create a new datatype called “List of Ideas” and then making change to that user and add the idea to that list of ideas, if that makes since.

I figured it out :slight_smile: I just searched for users where there ‘idea name’ was not empty
