Some features requests / ideas

Sharing a few ideas that could help a lot of us building bigger apps on Bubble.

First idea

Expose workload usage directly inside workflows.

Today we can see the usage per action in the logs and in the usage chart, but it is not usable inside the app itself.

It would be super useful to access the workload used by a workflow run and by each action as a dynamic value.

That way we could store and track workload per client, per feature, per subscription plan, instead of only having a global view in the logs.

Second idea

Improve the server logs.

When an app has a lot of traffic and many backend workflows, the logs become very hard to use for debugging. There are too many entries, the filters are very limited, and finding one specific error or workflow run is painful.

Better filters, search and grouping would make debugging backend logic much easier on serious apps.

Third idea

More flexibility in the Data tab. Data types and fields are always sorted alphabetically and we cannot move anything around. Being able to reorder or group them would make large databases way easier to manage.

Nothing crazy here but these small improvements would make daily work smoother for a lot of builders. It’s almost Christmas so maybe Santa will hear me :slight_smile: :folded_hands:

Good catch and I would add some more ideias:

1 - In the data tab add tabs to be able to open more than one table at once, similar at we have on supabase

2 - Still on data tab, the ability to collapse all custom views by default instead of them fully opened by default

Nice @vella.mathis.pro .

you should put these in the ideaboard, so people can vote and the dev team can see the requests of the community

Great idea.

But, if I had to suggest one, the one request that we all BADLY need is to not have downtimes or at least get as close as we can get to a 99.99% uptime.

All the features and cool ‘AI’ tricks mean nothing if Bubble’s gonna have weekly outages.

Also, we’re currently in another downtime/outage. Some users are facing abnormal latencies while others are getting straight up error on load. :man_facepalming:
