As if the update on its own merits was slowing things down wasn’t bad enough, the new freezing/constant crashing of the editor is making it completely unbearable. Even prior to this update I could only work in Bubble within FireFox Developer Edition since it was unuseable in any other browser I tried, but seems like even Firefox DE is struggling now.
Time was you’d open the editor thinking “lets get stuff done!”. Now it’s just an outright miserable affair.
I believe this is the original post of how to convert it horizontally. It’s really easy. Just install the Tampermonkey plugin for chrome and paste the javascript provided.
I like it personally. As others mentioned, it covers the fundamentals of logic and loop features.
When it was released, there was a search input for workflows, but it disappeared with the new top menu. It was very useful for filtering workflows by type.
Ok, but looping and logic can be achieved without a complete revamp right. How much time have you spent in the old vs new? Is it actually less for you now, given the same output?
I’ve given it an honest try but it is not merely breaking with routines, it is just more clicks and mouse movement to achieve the same things (yes even with reusables first and folders first approach).
This is seeming to get less attention than what it deserves. I can not work in the editor nowadays as it is unbearably slow and keeps crashing. I tried to bring it up by asking for system requirements to run Bubble and also it has been discussed in a few other threads on app interface manager change, and people being frustrated in general and some others. Some other people also raised it. But the topic seems to be getting lost and drowned in people’s love for new workflow editor. Bubble created new workflow editor and now people are not talking about editor being unusable overall. That’s a masterstroke in itself.
Many people are also dismissing it with saying that it is because of lack of reusables. Funny thing is, I face this issue even if I am loading a reusable which has less than ten elements and five workflows in it.
I pointed out day 1, unusable I have seen more than 10 posts complaining about same thing. Make sure to report a bug. Contacted with @fede.bubble and mentioned @kate.mcnally. No actual response for far.
56% against the new editor and 44% not against it at the time I’m making this comment.
I honestly don’t think 137 people voting will sway bubble when there are hundreds of thousands that use Bubble.
My guess is that before the new WF changes were permanent, Bubble focused on how many had switched over to how many decided to still go with the old. It was reported that out of around 30,000, 92% stayed with the new editor.
What I think will happen is that from the responses of those against it, Bubble will work on changes that will make the new WF editor better.
I don’t have a problem with the new editor and actually find it refresing that Bubble is working on modernizing things…
Actually to take them out of equation, you’d literally remove their votes as splitting 50/50 is unfair as it’s not a 50/50 split, but it only makes a ~4% shift 80/116 = 68.9%
@senecadatabase fair point, but have you considered that users staying on a new version and not reverting could also mean they simply accepted the new normal / wanted to see improvements / give feedback in the beta.
That does not mean they gave their approval let alone were excited for it to become the default (basically no one reverts back to an old version of iOS after an update, does that mean they all love it?).
Curious, how do you explain the massive discrepancy between the Bubble stat and the forum vote/general outcry?
Happy for you btw if you have no issues with your SPAs.
Well, I don’t put a lot of credibility in the forum poll because as I said, I’m not sure it took into account those with multiple accounts. Maybe it did, but that is something I had thought about.
Plus, 180 or so votes compared to the million or so people that use Bubble? I mean that’s like almost zero percent who took part in the vote.
Also, I don’t have a problem with people voicing their concerns about things that could be fixed with an update.
What I do find odd is those who threaten to leave Bubble and move their stuff elsewhere if things don’t go back to the way they were…or suddenly calling Bubble irrelevant instead of working on improving the new change.
The new change was done to usher in other new changes.
Some of those I see complaining about slow editor problems were complaining about them before the change. I’m thinking there are other factors involved.
I’m sure Bubble will work on things that need changed with the new WF editor.
I do not really understand where the massive trust advantage you are giving bubble comes from vs forum. And it makes me question how much you have witnessed in terms of bubble changes e.g. new pricing.
Tbh using the new workflow editor literally feels like a mockup of someone who was told how theoretically bubble works but wasn’t forced to use it him/herself.
The trust advantage is because Bubble is one of the oldest and best established no code platforms in existence…unless you consider microsoft excel which in a technical sense is considered the first no code platform, but doesn’t compare to Bubble in its end use.
As far as the pricing…
I commented several times that I wasn’t a fan of the new pricing system originally.
They’ve revised it and given tools to monitor it since then and I haven’t had a problem with it after my initial comments.
The new editor is just a precursor of what’s to come.
It works fine for me.
I do think some users need to optimize their apps to better use the new editor.
Story time, about a year and a half ago, new update comes to the on page editor, everything crashing, fire everywhere, 2x this wf editor complains. I post a comment saying ‘‘Christopher Nolan used this new editor to emulate nuclear bomb in his movie’’, got banned for it 3 days. End of story.
So in my opinion, giving Bubble credibility is the latest thing you can do, far behind on the roadmap, graveyard of features that never published, every now and then editor crashes, radical changes and initiatives.
Don’t play the authority, only thing you have authority on is this passive aggressive attitude of yours. Here is what I will do, best move on the chessboard. I will continue to pay attention to the history of Bubble and decisions being made. I still have trust but diminishing trust. At the mean time I will reduce referencing Bubble to my network because I don’t want my network to get harmed and I will start exploring alternatives
