Bubble has now taught me that I can no longer depend on this framework for anything we would consider a “consumer-first” application.
This is what we see on ALL OUR APPS and even Bubble own front-site.
This has happened way too many times in the past few months.
Starting today I am building all of BuildAppolis’ tools and services outside of Bubble and will also help others in that direction to if need-be.
We will still develop and distribute plugins/services for Bubble, but that will no longer be the exclusive focus of BuildAppolis (nor will our client-facing application).
For clients we will still work with Bubble if needed but will recommend other alternatives after warning them that their downtime can be unpredictable.
The downtime is not the biggest issue however, as after years of this framework being alive, the simplest things like proper routing or load speeds still haven’t been tuned out. I can make basically anything off of Bubble and the load speeds are much greater. I have found a way to make load speeds 0ms, why can’t Bubble? (I’m not a genius).
Bubble is Jenga, I am the human in between trying to hold my foundation.
