Hi Bubble community,
You may have noticed that the Bubble team is beginning to use the nomenclature of “Alpha” and “Beta” more often. Here’s a quick explanation of what this means.
Note: all features are unique, so not every feature will follow this exact pattern! Also, we are still transitioning to this system
Alphas
- For new features that are mostly done, and we’d like help testing them out
- Generally need to be ‘activated’ for a particular app, so we’ll post on the Forum seeking volunteers
- (Dedicated users may not get access to an Alpha until a bit later, and will almost certainly need to upgrade their instances in order to have the Alpha activated)
- May be rough around the edges, but we believe the most common user flow with the feature works
- Should not pose risks to your app (if there are unusual caveats, we’ll let you know)
- As part of the Alpha, we ask that you give the feature a try and let us know any feedback, especially any bugs! Please let us know via the private thread we’ll create with the Alpha testers
Betas
- For new features that we believe are ‘done’, though given the creativity of the Bubble community, we expect people to uncover edge cases and bugs
- Generally new features will roll out with this label to communicate that they’re new and we’re paying closer attention to it in the short-term
- Generally will be rolled out to all apps on the main cluster
- Please feel free to provide feedback in the Forum announcement thread, but file bugs with [email protected] or the in-editor form as normal
Cheers,
Allen
