Template and Plugin Suggestions for a Newbie

c.mewborn · 2021-01-20T10:56:37.946Z

Hi Guys,
I wanted to build a new app and I don’t have any developing experience. I’m not too sure about whether I should build my app straight from scratch or use different templates and plugins. I have taken the starter courses and compiled a list of possible templates and plugins but before I start buying them I wanted to hear some opinions or advice on the following:

Is there any cons in using several different templates on 1 app with Bubble? (ie. combining too many different templates could cause bugs or issues with working properly) Is there a way to get around it?
Is there a plugin for adding an AI-survey feature? (ie. users can take a survey and receive customized results based on their answers) If not, is it possible for someone to build?

Hello,

Great stuff going on.

Please consider the following:

Point 1

Templates cannot be combined. What can be done is to copy/paste elements from one app to another.
For young Bubblers many folks recommend to use templates as learning resources … not as a foundation for an app. Bubble is a visual programming language and templates are built with the individual choices and preferred approach of its author.
You being able to edit everything about their app (template) requires that you understand how the author approached the build on all fronts. And this would be a steep hill to climb for a young Bubbler.
I suggest to first get familiar with Bubble and to build one or two basic apps from scratch. Here a good playlist of official (short) videos on how to build your first app:

Point 2

Yes there are. Here an interesting set of ai / machine learning plugins by @redvivi . For more you can explore the Bubble plugins marketplace.

Best of luck with your project and have fun bringing it to fruition!
