Who at Bubble Thinks this is Okay?

The new page and resuable element view, I get it, there needs to be differences between web and mobile, but really, who at Bubble thinks this is okay?

I can not easily find my reusables because so many are under the list of pages as this is all sorted alphabetically into one list.

Bubble USE TWO LISTS!

Give us Web Pages and Web Reusables so we can dropdown the view and see ONLY those that we need to see

@kate.mcnally @alex.bolanos could something be done to get this fixed to be better? A very important BUG to fix is this spinning wheel of death that causes the view to constantly reload and scroll back to top, making it IMPOSSIBLE TO SELECT ONCE FOUND

Does Bubble do any in house testing before deploying?

and they are pushing this and the other “improvement” for the workflows LIVE in a few weeks. Absolute nightmare feature improvement.

I can kind of see the reasoning logically but the real world usage is abysmal… I’m just waiting for the avalanche of backlash on the forum when these features become the new normal.

But then this has become bubbles MO.

Beta feature release. Collect feedback. Don’t fix half the bugs. Push it live before it is ready. Leave it half broken despite all the criticism. Start work on something else.

Feels like a death by a thousand cuts.

You’ve been around long enough to know the answer to that is no. Maybe their QA staff are also no-coders themselves.

A worryingly large amount of work/updates done on the Bubble product is based on angry feedback from loyal bubblers who has gone to great lengths to handhold and teach Bubble embarrassingly basic stuff interns should be handling at Bubble.

@josh mentioned in the February update that he doesn’t view discrepancies and issues with WU as bugs and that Bubble will only prioritize responding to extreme issues. I think that’s the generic thinking he follows and Bubble just makes updates for the sake of staying relevant and keep up with the new players to keep investors happy, and go back to the old method of angering longtime Bubblers by making us do all the QA dirty work for them.

Like everytime, real feedback from the community will begin to come through future updates, only after a lot of begging and chasing.

You had me at the title of your post!

I’ve prepared many responses but the main issue – just like with the new workflow design; large apps are not considered at all.

I get it, why does bubble care when 95% of apps don’t even use backend workflows

This ^ I really hope we can revert that wf editor still because the new one is insufferable to use.

I am absolutely terrified of this, I had it disabled because it’s so bad vs the legacy workflows. We’re currently going for a big round of investment, so hopefully we can just dip from bubble and it won’t be my problem
