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
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.
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.
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.)
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 wish when adding a workflow to a folder that it would automatically scroll to the workflow again. Right now the work flow youre working on disappears and you have to scroll to find it
100% this, and this was exactly my feedback as well.
I’m not up to date on the latest cause I didn’t hear back, but if this hasn’t significantly changed it will be a disaster.
Someone please tell me they didn’t just ignore the endless feedback of “horizontal is better” and “going from an overview of 50 steps to max 7 is not an improvement” and are shoving it down our throats anyway.
You’re referencing a post that’s nearly 6 months old about a beta feature that has evolved since then.
Bubble has in fact listened and has made changes. Vertical is here to stay, but there’s now a compact workflow view as well as a grid view for workflows in the side panel.
The onus is on you to get up to speed. You should try it yourself and/or catch up on the relevant threads. The latest post from Bubble is here.
Thanks mr. Pedantic, but I’m well aware of the age of the post. And my statements are clearly conditional, as I’ve been reading through everything in search of significant changes to address these very real issues. But I’m not finding any, and you just confirmed vertical is here to stay (yet they’ve somehow listened?). That’s bad. I was part of the early feedback team and then things went quiet. I had to revert back from the new interface because it was unusable for larger apps. I’ll check the new version, but if it’s generally the same this is going to be a very big problem.
I think that the new workflow tab leave place for a lot of features that are not ready but will be possible with this layout. I’m thinking about parallel processing and conditional branching, that will fit perfectly with this layout. Actually, for one button, you could have multiple triggers because of differents conditions. With this new layout, this will not be needed and this will look more like this:
