[Open-Source Toolkit] 4 CLI & DevTools to speed up your Bubble workflow (CLI, Visual Tester, AI Translator, Dead Code Detector)

Hey everyone! :waving_hand:

As a full-time Bubble developer, I often find myself repeating tedious tasks—like managing migrations, testing visual changes, handling multi-language support, or cleaning up unused database fields and workflows.

To make life easier, I built a set of open-source CLI tools and utilities designed to streamline development. I wanted to share them with the community in case they save you time too!

Here is the lineup:

1. Bubble.io CLI (bubble-io-cli)

A command-line interface designed to streamline local workflows and project management for Bubble applications.

  • GitHub: bubble-io-cli

  • What it does: Helps automate repetitive tasks and connect your local dev environment more efficiently.

2. Bubble Visual Tester (bubble-io-visual-tester)

An automated visual regression and testing tool tailored for Bubble UIs.

  • GitHub: bubble-io-visual-tester

  • What it does: Catches UI regressions, layout shifts, or broken elements before your users do.

3. Bubble AI Translator (bubble-io-ai-translator)

An AI-powered tool to automate application text localization.

  • GitHub: bubble-io-ai-translator

  • What it does: Quickly translates your app’s static texts, option sets, or dynamic content into multiple languages using AI, saving hours of manual copy-pasting.

4. Bubble Dead Code Detector (bubble-io-dead-code-detector)

A cleaner utility to audit your Bubble app structure.

  • GitHub: bubble-io-dead-code-detector

  • What it does: Scans your app to help identify unused workflows, custom events, elements, or data fields so you can keep your editor lightweight and performant.

Great job !

Hi everyone, I’ve made an update to these tools, I’ve now incorporated them into a desktop app with even more functionality, a GUI, UX/UI, and various additional tools for working with your Bubble apps. Hope it goes down well: [Open-Source Desktop App] Bubble.io Dev Studio v3.0.0 — Unified DevOps, 3-Way Schema Diff, AST Dead Code, AI Translation & Visual QA Suite :rocket: - Tips - Bubble Forum
