New Workflow tab - Discussion Megathread

Cross-posting an update from the team:

Great hybrid example you made.

What we need as well. Obviously with search / filter and look and feel improvements to the left folder pane.

The folder view could collapse into the new list view.

However, this approach would still be sub-par to the other big ones out there.

It should be a fully integrated “one-view”, rather than panes and boxes.

Bubble Team, you need to approach this as experienced UX designers with a focus on flow work and efficiency, rather than table thinking engineers from the 90ies.

It’s too “programmatic” like an engineer had the final word here, rather than the UXer :slight_smile:

There are plenty of great examples out there.

Please do multiple editor UX examples for bubblers to test out.

Eg 2-3 usable samples made in figma or just a couple of rough versions in bubble itself to test out. A pro-bubbler used to the old editor, could do that in a couple of weeks at most.

… Living by bubbles own MVP / iteration qualities :slight_smile:

it would take a day max to mock up a decent editor design using bubble. Maybe even a few hours.

It’s quite frustrating as a UX orientated person watching them take sooooooo long to do anything or fix small things, but I get that there’s a lot more behind the scenes and we don’t know everything that’s going on.

Still, bubble/figma mockups with community input (even allowing us to alter the mockups) would be a nice thing indeed. After all it’s us who will end up living on those screens. :sweat_smile:

FWIW, that’s how this screen recording was created. It’s a mock editor built in Bubble. It took the better part of an evening, and it doesn’t access the DB, which would have actually made it easier to implement some of the behavior. (I had my reasons for wanting to use static data.)

Hi,

I tried the new version of workflows again, it’s really hard to navigate, why not keep the format with squares and colors, it’s so much more intuitive?

What would really change the game are condition groups with parentheses (if this and that) OR (if this and that) that works, and the ability to directly execute Javascript without having to use a plugin.

I 100% agree with you.

Being able to natively return the result of JS code to a bubble element would certainly be a welcome improvment.

Or access backend custom workflows from front end….
