Moj i jos jedan tim smo isli na jedno takvo natjecanje na faksu. Mi nismo dobili no oni jesu.
Oboje smo imali WhiteLabel verziju vec postojeceg servisa tj aplikacije. Samo naljepili vlastiti dizajn.
Dobili smo 10k kn koje smo podjelili medju nama.
Kasnije smo otkrili bubble.io. No nismo imali srece s tim.
Bubble.io and you build yourself with no code. Pretty sure there is even a tutorial to build a YouTube and I’ll get it for you. I would build an mvp here and see if you gain traction. Save your money and validate
To promote the most widespread adoption possible, are there plans to develop "no code"/visual developer tools so that even non-coders can build sophisticated apps on the IC?
There is an extremely high demand for no code tools that is only growing. Millions of creators that can't code are now building powerful, scalable, and customizable software using traditional tech stacks. Bubble.io, for example, just passed 1 million users and the no code space is blowing up (no pun intended!). (Bubble does have a blockchain integration already* but it really should be for the IC.)
Enabling anyone to build IC apps would be a massive enabler and distinguishing feature imo. No code will be the default way to build apps within a few years so perhaps a good idea to get out ahead of the changing landscape.
Thanks for all you do! :)
*See here: "How to create decentralized applications with no-code using Bubble + Nexus plugin: Nexus’ no-code plugin for Bubble lets you create Web3 applications on the Nexus blockchain using REST APIs in your Bubble app."
Some of the comments are not really being kind in their explanation, but what you built looks more like an API than a no-code platform. Bubble.io is an example of a no code platform. No-code is basically a way for non software developers and average people to build something that usually takes a software developer to build.
I wouldnt really call the project a no-code platform, but rather an API. To interact with it, you have to send POST requests, which is pretty standard for APIs. Someone still needs have to have technical understanding, rather than being Jim from marketing with no experience in software development/networking.
Best of luck with the project!
I would forgo getting a cofounder or spending thousands of dollars on a developer, if you can avoid it. I would use bubble which will enable you to create a web app version without knowing how to code. Build an MVP, see if you can get some traction, then try to find investors.
10 ideas for six figure business
- Crowdsource data with subscription (e.g. nomadlist.com)
- Consulting Services - Social Media Marketing, Data Science, Content Generation agency, etc
- Paid Newsletters (Substack) with a compelling topic or groups of topics
- Building extensions for Chrome, Zoom, Bubble.io, etc setup a subscription base
- Build NoCode applications for Entrepreneurs that are too busy
- eCommerce (you need to do lot of niche research)
- Flip eCommerce sites, mobile, apps off Flippa.com (buy improve seo and operations and then resell)
- Build an online interactive tutor to teach a coding language using Artificial Intelligence
- Automated Code migration (e.g SAS to Python)
- Business Validation Service for Entrepreneur (build landing page, MVP, initial social media)
You may need to a combination of these to go past your six figure market but it should get you started.
Sorry to say, I have never heard of anyone doing this successfully, though I've heard of lots of people wasting time and money contracting out their MVP development (including myself). For Saas, you're almost definitely going to want to build onto your MVP right away, and you'll quickly run into problems if it's been contracted out (if you can even get it to an MVP you're happy with).
As u/Simplemnt said, a technical cofounder is ideal, if you can find one. Any good engineer will want to see traction before they jump on board. If there's one thing engineers hate, it's building something that never gets used.
Something else you might consider is no-code options. These tools have really progressed in the last few years, and may make it possible for you to develop. Something like bubble.io might do the trick, and they have templates you can buy off the shelf and customize. Like anything custom though, there is a learning curve.
If you're really committed and really believe in your product, you should consider a service like gigster that will help manage it and handle vetting and the product management. It's not going to be cheap, but it will at least assure you get something functional. Again though, I'd only look at that if the first two aren't options. Cheers and good luck!
Here’s how I would approach it if you’re interested:
- Start with interactive lessons here: https://bubble.io/academy
- Then do this course: https://canvas.airdev.co/bootcamp
- Build one complete sample project to showcase your skills
- Then go on the bubble forum, bubble Facebook groups, bubble slack channels and start answering peoples questions
- Put your title as a bubble developer on LinkedIn
From there you’ll start getting project inquiries.
Prepare for the process to be 3-6 months assuming you’re committed.
There is one library name Syllapy in python using this you can easily count the syllables.
REF: https://medium.com/@mholtzscher/programmatically-counting-syllables-ca760435fab4
For Frontend there you can use customization tool that will let you to create app with just drag and drop technique without writing any code.

Learn python only. It is easy and you can almost anything with this language.
That's all
Not to be disrespectful, an idea is worth nothing - it's how that idea is developed and executed. Even explaining your idea to capable developers, it still takes time and motivation for people to act on "taking" your idea. Most people are likely more interested in working on their on projects and goals.
​
My two cents, just explain your idea, then people can give actual and pointed advice. For an e-commerce site, it really depends on what you want to do. You can use a template from wordpress or squarespace, go with a no-code solution like bubble.io or develop from a framework to create something more custom (like using Django).
​
Best way to start, go to YouTube and look up a tutorial on how to create an e-commerce site/store using XYZ.
Sure, here are the answers to your questions:
- How has been the responsiveness of the website
Very good. I did a 'Bubble beginners Bootcamp course' at Udemy and learnt the tricks of making it responsive and it worked very well for us.
- Have you used any real time analytics or streaming on the service
No we havent used any streaming, but you can check their community Forum on if others have. Its a very supportive community.
- does it handle the backend as well? And if yes, is the data security in place?
It is encrypted at rest on AWS RDS and you can read about Bubble security here: https://bubble.io/video-course/security--privacy-1600816591920x608075716417290200
I am not sure about the GDPR requirements though, if you plan to operate in the EU
- do you have payment feature in your website?
Yes, we have Stripe integrated in our website
Naval specifies that you should learn enough coding to understand what happens under the hood and not necessarily switch your career to a professional coder. To understand how the tech works for starters i recommend this book : https://swipetounlock.com/ and to learn basic programming go to: freecodecamp.org
Also, now you can build a prototype of an app or website with no-code/low-code tools like webflow, squarespace and bubble.io etc. Play around with them.
If you want to build an MVP quickly you can try bubble.io which is a no-code platform ideal for websites and web apps. You can find tutorials here bubble.io/academy
I just made it for myself with Bubble.io privately. Bubble is totally free for private use. It's technically not a "mobile app" but can be accessed via the browser. I think there are other no-code tools that will make actual mobile apps, but can't recall what they're called.
I just set up a basic database with item types and then I add individual item entities with their expiration dates. I think there are other inventory apps like Out Of Milk and stuff that will do similar things and are probably also free, but I was just curious to make my own for some reason.
You really need to do a risk assessment to determine how PHI would be moving around and whether anybody at bubble would have access to it. But it doesn’t look promising. It appears that bubble will not execute a HIPAA business associate agreement, and they discourage using their platform for processing PHI. https://bubble.io/support-article/is-bubble-hipaa-compliant
It’s not possible to say yes or no to your question without knowing a lot more about what you plan to build. There’s simply no such thing as a “HIPAA compliant platform.” Everything is highly dependent on your specific implementation, and it is your HIPAA risk assessment where you are required to document that.
But at a glance, I would say that bubble does not look like a good partner for a HIPAA covered entity, in contrast to salesforce who actively courts HIPAA covered entities as clients and will happily execute the required business associate agreement.
My own two cents/story. I started law school in 2007. I thought of my (now current) fantasy football idea during my first year of law school. However, it wasn't feasible because:
- I was in law school
- I wasn't technical
- The internet wasn't as advanced as it is today
Over the years, I casually looked across the internet to see if someone has done my idea. No one had (maybe more appropriate: I hadn't seen an idea like it).
Fast forward to earlier this year. I finally said - why not try it? I spent maybe an evening or two detailing the phases of my idea, etc. in a Word doc. Then I said screw it, let's go. I literally just started working on my idea. I'm still NOT technical (although somewhat ironically I'm product counsel for a tech company - I do understand the technical concepts - I just can't implement them) so I started with Bubble.io but it was too complicated for what I was trying to do (leverage the Yahoo Fantasy Sports API). Ultimately, I spun up a WordPress account added a survey plugin (Tripetto) and we were off to the races.
So, TLDR: Just start and figure the rest out as you go.
Once you build it on your own, you'll get a bunch of ideas coming to you, and you'll have a much better understanding of what it takes to get to your end result.
And, in case you're wondering, this is the site/service I built with no technical experience: LineupAdvisor.com.
How about using nocode tools like Bubble.io?
My startup RewardNation is built completely on nocode and I just launched a second micro SAAS SupportBell on Product Hunt. Built the MVP in just 5 days.
Have a look at animaapp.com not quote IOS but web. I do remember seeing XD to IOS so will try and remember.
Edit: It may have been Bubble https://bubble.io/
See what you can find for no-code app builders.
Bubble fundamentals video series is a great place to start. It will walk you through what is possible in Bubble, as well as share guided walkthroughs of how to achieve it.
hey thanks for your input. People not willing to share their ideas is a problem slowly fading away I think. More of us realize it's about execution not the idea.
As far as conflict of ideas go.. it's a process you know. Those collaborating together will have to solve issues together. If they can't find the common ground they'll fail and there you go. But as the one with the idea has more expertise on problem he/she will have a final say.
I'll be using Bubble.io for general inquiries unless specific NoCode tool is a better match.
A booking site and student upload area as a bubble app is well within its capabilities. Bubble takes a bit to learn, but if you've done websites, you shouldn't have too much trouble with it.
There are a lot of training videos, a long list of app guides for uber, amazon, airbnb type apps that take you through them from UI to full workflows.
And, there are coaches that can help you to build your app, too. I use one for a couple of apps I've built, it's helped tremendously!
Good luck!
Do you need to actually build the website?
If not, you could just use a white label service e.g. https://iteach.world/en/educationalprojects
If you want to build with visual programming software, bubble.io has this template which looks perfect for you:
https://bubble.io/template/coursely---courses-like-udemy-1509630238849x479543609925304300
I use bubble.io. It's quick and easy to get started but getting everything 'right' is a pain. Let me know if you want to discuss more. I have spent probably over 100 hrs making a no-code platform and would be glad to talk
Adalo is a more visual programming app that lets you see the flow of your user interface, and then customize a whole lot more. The functionality can't extend super far, but you're going to be able to build 95% of what you need. For instance, a full marketplace application is easy to build there. Bubble lets you build almost anything, and it connects super well with other apps, so it's going to be the go-to if you need something more complicated with any deeper backend database.
No-code tools like Bubble are revolutionizing how everyday makers can build software. Bubble’s powerful platform has made it easier than ever to start building software without having to write a single line of code. Our customers are using Bubble to build websites, directories, and even social networks.
But if you’re a maker who’s eager to start building your own messaging app, go no further than Bubble.
For website builders, checkout Squarespace, wordpress, or webflow.
Also Bubble.io is a smartphone app builder - you mentioned Opentable/Resy so if you're ultimately looking to create an app that can help.
I don't have a solution for you (from what I have read Bubble.io does not allow extraction of code), but at least you only spent 2 hours to learn that hosted development platforms are very sticky and hard to leave.

Programming is slowly becoming a commodity (an expensive one to pay, but still). What I mean is that, for building software, programming usually is a small part of what will make it successful. Sometimes an average idea with poor programming but with great design and marketing will be much much more successful than having great ideas and great programming.
That's happening because the internet is crowded. Releasing something on the app store means nothing. Today you need an audience, people need to find you somehow. And for that, you need to pay (ads, influencers to talk about it) or build it organically (with contacts with journalists or social media -- SEO, Instagram, Linkedin...). The first is quicker, the latter is pretty slow.
That being said, I'd recommend you to learn a bit about no-code (Shopify, Webflow, Bubble.io etc) and see if with that you can build a simple first version. Your solution must solve a problem, and how great the solution should be, depends on how competitive is the market.
After that, my advice is to start building your audience right now! At the very least start learning about it. If you don't have money, you won't be able to pay for ads/influencers, then you only have the organic option. Learn how to launch stuff, PR, Product Hunt. It's essential nowadays.
(i say that based on my own experience working in different startups and now creating my own products since June. Hope it helps!)
On Bubble Academy there are some basics tutorials on how to use the platform. https://bubble.io/academy
And you can easily find a cheap Bubble course on Udemy. https://www.udemy.com/course/the-bubble-beginners-bootcamp-2019-visual-programming/

Read or listen to the Audible book Nail It then Scale It: The Entrepreneur's Guide to Creating and Managing Breakthrough Innovation it will give you a blueprint.
Also you can use the no code platform https://bubble.io to build out your MVP.

You will need user accounts and commenting, which can be hacked together on webflow but it requires lots of external integrations. You should look at Bubble, they just released a bunch of tutorials, you achieve everything you described on Bubble

Also her channel has a bunch of great tutorials to get you started https://youtu.be/6OKVj1A9OcY
If you are aiming to build an app/website that goes beyond Wordpress (so the simple filling in of an already existing template), I would really recommend Bubble (bubble.io). It's a drag and drop platform, that allows you to create an app from scratch without coding. You can pretty much build anything on there, including an AirBnB/Facebook (not joking). It of course takes some getting used to, but you'll have complete freedom in creating the exact app that matches your idea.
Themeforest has a bunch of wordpress templates for <$100. Bubble.io has templates as well, but I haven't used them myself.
Are you working with any planning/business plan tools to flesh-out this idea more?
Bubble.io, though Appsheet used to support reselling as well before Google bought them. Not sure if it's still is that way or not.
Bubble has more robust customization options and a ton of API integrations as well.
This is great advice. I had not heard of GummySearch or IndieHackers. I do know some coding, but maybe these are things that I could build in Webflow or Bubble.io. This is awesome, thank you!
From my experience, It can be realistically done using Bubble.io

* Grouping & Relationship : It's a database design you have to consider.

I'm in the process of making the leap from "no code" developer (bubble.io power user) to actual software developer, and feedback from a pro would be invaluable.
I'm just finishing up my first self-directed project after completing the Foundations section of the The Odin Project. (I decided to try and build the "Peg Game" that you find on Cracker Barrel tables)
It is written in vanilla JS, but even just somebody to point out any bad habits I may be forming would be invaluable.
I'm just working out a few tweaks- might be done as early as tomorrow. Is it cool if I follow up when I'm done?
The way I see it is that you don't need to learn any particular language to learn programming, language is just means to an end in a particular domain and contexts.
If you're starting out, I would suggest picking a no-code tool like https://bubble.io/. Take some lessons, and go build couple of projects there. It will give you a very good high level idea of the typical web dev workflow.
Once you learn the fundamentals behind web programming, you will pick languages and frameworks at a faster rate.
Once you are good at Bubble, I would recommend picking a full stack framework like Ruby on rails which is still is a gold standard in web development and is amazingly productive. Try building the projects you built on bubble, on Rails.
This means you will need to learn a little bit of ruby and then some JavaScript along the way. You don't need to waste much time on HTML and CSS cause we all use some kind of component library these days, so just pick something like tailwind.css and master the utility classes.
Steer clear of all the messiness of the JavaScript ecosystem at the beginner stage, where there's a framework born everyday and it's easy to get lost. You can learn something like react with next.js down the line, or even try using react in your rails app.
During all this, they key thing is to not chase perfection, keep your projects simple so you can finish them and learn how to Google effectively to find a solution. Join communities of Framework and languages you are working with and ask questions. We are all beginner at some point.
And two most important things, enjoy the process and don't give up, cause it will be hard at the beginning, but then it will all make sense suddenly.
Hope my answer helps in your journey :)
- Company Name: dwellmo
- URL: www.dwellmo.ca
- Purpose of Startup and Product:
- dwellmo helps homebuyers afford better houses, and allows you and I invest in the real estate market with the ease of clicking a button. House prices in Toronto are $1.2 mm on average, with downpayment getting very unaffordable in $100,000s... so we connect investors who want to participate in the real estate market's rise with the home purchasers who need the funds.
- There is no mortgage-like debt liability or monthly payments. You simply pay % of the house's sale price when you sell it - if you took $100,000 to help with a downpayment of a $1 mm house, and you sell it for $1.5 mm in 5 years - then you will simply pay $150,000 (which is 10%).
- This is targeted towards first families who are buying condos first. THey are more likely to struggle with entering the real estate market, but also are on average staying in their new home for shorter amount of time.
Technologies Used: Currently building MVP on bubble.io, going to start development after some early customer interest
Feedback Requested:
- Would you use this product? It would be helpful to hear from people living in expensive and rising real estate markets, like New York, San Fran, LA, Washington, Boston and Seattle... or Canadian cities like Toronto and Vancouver
- How comfortable would you be with the requirement to sell the house within 5 years? Or refinancing the debt to pay out the equity investors
- How comfortable would you be to invest in real estate through this structure?
Seeking Beta-Testers: Yes! Please DM me
Additional Comments: We are currently approaching finance regulators to approve this product. But we also need increased confidence in the market being ok with this market
Thanks for the feedback!
I have to agree that some of the demos I made don't really represent what users might want to build, they rather show the technical capabilities of the platform (someone using Bubble.io will see that making a calculator in nocode is a big deal).
I'll work on more projects that actually resemble what people may want to build with sktch.io.
I'll also rework the landing page (based on all the feedback I got!!)
I understand the issue you mention and the solution I found was that I implemented an Exporter that allows you to export your project into a standalone NodeJS project. It has all the functionality but works independently from sktch.io.
It solves the issue because if sktch.io ever goes under, you can always host your project yourself on your own server. (You can also add more functionality to your project if you want). The other platforms like bubble.io don't have this feature so when you use those platforms, you are really locked in their ecosystem.
Also, as you said, it's not easy to make people learn a new system especially if they have doubts, it's something I have to work on!
Thank you so much for the feedback, it means so much to me!
To answer your questions, from what I've seen, people stumble upon the project and give it a try, some of them find it cool, but that's it. They don't necessarily have a specific project they want to build through sktch.io or maybe they have already started building their tool with another tool such as bubble. (It's difficult to find people that have a project in mind and at the same time, they haven't already invested time building it using another tool).
I totally agree with what you said about finding a way to make it more engaging and making some kind of milestones! (I'll brainstorm and try to find something). It's really a great idea so that people spend a little more time with the platform, it's a way to gamify the process.
The project is geared towards freelancers especially people that have some kind of technical knowledge but don't know how to code. For example someone that creates wordpress websites but wants to build the next reddit. It's the really same type of people as Bubble.io users.
I will also try to make it clear what problem Sktch.io solves and why it's THE platform that should be used to solve that problem.
Thanks again for the feedback, it helps me a lot :)
Bubble.io and AppGyver are two great ways to rapidly build an app within hours to days (max). The main point is to get your product out a quickly as possible without worrying about perfection. Eventually, all apps get rewritten anyway.
This was my exact experience as well. You are definitely not alone. We were looking for a no code / low code platform where departments could stop "managing by spreadsheet" and create centralized apps to become more productive and efficient. PowerApps wasn't even close to satisfying that need.
Bubble.io has been good so far, but we're still in the POC phase.
you can use Bubble.io/ webflow or draftbit like low code platform to build your apps.
Ideas are dime a dozen , but execution is important. you need to have a good business model as in why a maid will work for your company , if she already works around 8-10 houses in a society of 50-500 apartments earns around 2-5k depending on services.
Check out Bubble.io - they also have a bunch of agency's that can help and build you an MVP from $3K plus.
I've built multiple apps on it and highly recommend for early stage validation. I come from a product design background - so also dont know any coding.
It took me a few days to get enough bubble knowledge to build my first version. So if you have the time that's also an option.
Lastly, follow a process.
- create some basic wireframes - what are the key actions people can do?
- create visual mock-ups, and test a few iterations. Marvel, Invision, Figma are all tools that can help
- Once you are happy with the flow, experience and design. Then build.
consider using a no-code platform for your prototype to find a good product market fit. bonus points if it has low code functionality that lets you add custom logic yourself.
ive heard good things about bubble.
Definitely consider bubble.io . "No-code" web app builder which is more than powerful enough for your idea. Then if you want to publish it to app stores, wrap it with Cordova or something.
You have three options
1 - raise money & then build app
2 - invest time into finding tech co-founder to build MVP
3 - use no-code tools like https://bubble.io/ and build it
on tiny budget in will go for 3 option to start building app at same time keep look out for tech co-founder
motto "time is money"
option 1 & 2 will take more time, with 3 option, having something to show to both investor or co-founder will make things easier for conversation
even if it is not "perfect"
As I just replied to u/Chris_Hansen_AMA, I've traditionally leveraged Axure and taken the hit on training and investment in robust reusable libraries as a foundation. In a large enterprise cloud software design team, we used both Axure and Sketch + InVision, depending on the design task and tradeoff for usability / behavior comms (when doing a straightforward use case with existing components in the design system, Sketch can be great for speed). I'm in the process of evaluating how a new team I just took over uses Figma and how much we can make it dance for the complex use cases we are solving.
I've not looked at bubble.io - what do you think it's strengths and weakness are for prototyping?
I had backed and was excited about the potential of Subform a while back, sadly the team behind it put the project on ice and moved on.
I'm building something in bubble.io at the moment.
​
Logic is moving from text.. logically. As text and syntax, whilst flexible, are slow and error prone.
100% Flutter will go LOW code, but knowing how it all works and fits together helps a LOT when doing stuff.
As a dev I'm not worried because it just allows me to do more with less, but the logic is still as hard to nut out as ever.
bubble has a plugin to add the zoom functionality
https://bubble.io/plugin/image-zoom-on-hover-1563544719336x495754259818086400
otherwise fo something advnaced there maybe a necessity to use some javascript coding
You can try bubble.io for free. Webflow offers a free plan and a free student plan too. There are many but you might have to pay if you want to add custom domain and if your traffic gets high. I don't know about any completely free platforms.
Well, if you're just looking for reasons to use alternatives to Appgyver, what better reason than another platform offering you more functionality and features than Appgyver.
Bubble.io and Webflow are two of the most popular nocode web app development platforms. Moreover, when it comes to mobile applications, there are several tools including Appy Pie that offer a seamless development experience without being expensive. Platforms like Appy Pie and Airtable also offer freemium pricing, which can be leveraged for mobile app development.
No offense here, but why do you guys always use the same color scheme, same icons and same layouts for landing pages when using webflow and bubble?
For example open the https://bubble.io/showcase and see - 40% of the sites listed there are almost identical and look the same as your landing page.
Why not make it more unique?
There's a bunch of nocode tools that you can use.
My personal bias goes to Bubble.io. They're largely proven in the marketplace and plenty of SAAS have been built on top of it.
My startup, RewardNation was built completely on top of Bubble. I also just launched another micro SAAS on Product Hunt. This second one was built in just 5 days, which is incredibly fast for an MVP.
there are lots of website builders and web app builders out there and doubtless more will arrive over time.
They are not necessarily easy to learn though
I can't remember most of them but a few examples:
lol, another "Unique" social media idea, that offcourse MUST be made on the cheap, where have I heard that before hahahahhaa.
--
well if you're really serious about it tho you can have a look at https://bubble.io see if you can make sense of and work with it yourself.
Yeah, I've built a couple using bubble.io. It's not that hard once you get user roles, dynamic content and date management right white not trying to tackle the problem with an over the top complicated solution.
Just keep it simple.
You can do social authentication there. You own the data. It would be easier if you use their database and backend but I have met founders who use their own database.
Their security: https://bubble.io/security
You can do it with Zapier, and with other tools as well.
I prefer Integromat for a bunch of reasons but to each his own.
As for bubble devs, the company has a list of agencies you can explore (prolly not gonna snatch freelance rates with those, but worth exploring nonetheless)
You can buy my templates that is built and hosted on bubble- https://bubble.io/template/e-commerce-tempalate-1624589899624x343125721481216000
Or alternative you can buy the zerocode e-commerce templates- https://zeroqode.com/templates
Hey u/shmatty52, that's awesome.
Bubble.io looks neat. I'd highly recommend checking out Microsoft's stack of apps that are low-code/no-code as well, their Power Platform applications, specifically PowerApps and Power Automate. (I know, I know, it's Microsoft... but it's good). I have found that most of what I'd like to automate/do is possible through Power Automate, and for everything else there's "Power Automate Desktop", which can run your computer on auto-pilot to do repetitive tasks (it's an RPA engine) - and that's totally free if you have a Windows 10 PC. Very cool stuff.
Wish you the best! Keep us updated!
Only thing stopping me from using bubble.io is not being able to self host & being limited in storage unless I pay $10 per 10 gb's which is far too expensive. They say I can add external storage through box.com but idk if that would be practical to build something similar to Youtube that requires lots of storage.
Check out Bubble.io (no code platform templates) - select Marketplace from the dropdown. You repurpose these for your Etsy idea
Well, I had like 1k+ users accessing the tool on a weekly basis, and Bubble.io was able to handle that bandwidth just fine.
However, we wanted to move towards SEO optimisation and just in general improve the loading time/performance for the app, especially on phones.
If you look at how Next.JS does SSR, you'll be blown away by how smooth the interactivity can be.
The problem is that Bubble.io loads a chunk of modules and files to run your app, but you have no option to customise what to load and what not to load.
All these things seem really minor when starting out (I was on the same boat), but as you keep adding more features, you start hitting walls that can't be broken. 👀
Bubble.io is a great tool to get started, but you start hitting the walls with Bubble, as you start building more advanced functionalities.
For instance, I made one app with Bubble, which worked great, but had a page-speed score of 20. Now, there was no way I could run any optimisations, here, as Bubble controls the entire front-end architecture.
That's when I started learning other tools. The ones that I'm learning right now are:
- Clutch.io (for front-end)
- Canonic.io (for back-end)
- Directual (for backend)
Given your low skillset, you might want to look for something in the Gig economy (most of these are Fiverr). It's going to be a tough market to break into as there are a lot of people chasing the same nickel.

5 Ideas:
- UberRepair - mobile repair trucks - someone else mentioned this
- Create Freelancer site that connects Technicians with local sites. The technician as reviews and portfolio of work. Shop around for rate or get quotes from a group of techs. Build it in Bubble.IO (belive they have templates for marketplaces_
- Broker for tech repair services. Put in your problem. System assess diffcult to fix and assigns recommendations of techs
- Use the iPhone to create an augmented reality space to diagnose problems
- Remote helpdesk support on any tech problem (although you could probably get this from Fiverr on the cheap) it's a basic software problem
Wow, thanks for all of the great feedback!
Yea the UI/UX is pretty rough, that's definitely not a strength of mine. I built it using bubble.io. There is a lot of data for each platform, and I have been trying to come up with a way that is easy to sort through everything. It's not great, but it's getting better.
Creating an account allows you to store your requirements, save platforms to look into later, and leave reviews. If you don't want to create an account, you can just browse by each category.
I've loaded in a lot of platforms that are available worldwide, but still adding more.
I definitely like a lot that you said though, I'm going to make some changes for the next update I push. Thanks!
I'm definitely leaning towards Bubble.io based on feedback. I've signed up and having a look around the interface.
Never heard of share tribe though so will check that out too, thanks
Somewhat more like the bubble.io that gives you feel you can build any type of web application. There is a lot of plugins is also available.
Industry-wise will attract the audience too ( so the dollars) and the General feature gives you to power any to built anything and also help to scale the platform.
I think a better way to create MVP is to target industry-wise but built general feature.
Industry-wise will attract the audience too ( so the dollars) and the General feature gives you to power any to built anything and also help scaling of the platform.
Wow. Andromo is new to me. . Thanks for the info. Hoping to learn it too. . I'm just starting to explore the no-code platform and I find it amazing. . You may also try to use bubble.io platform. . It gives us a glimpse of what we might expect to become the standard of visual application development in the future. It allows you to quickly prototype complex web applications without having prior coding experience. Plus, the onboarding tutorials on the Bubble application get you up to speed relatively quickly.
this youtube channel may be a good resource for you: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPDgLFs6WYk-qj16lEyFFlw
If you want to see more examples of what can be build with NoCode tools, you need to read through the "how to build" blog posts, which teach you w to build a clone of some common web apps like Instagram, Dropbox, etc. here's a link for reference: https://bubble.io/how-to-build
Tell them they have mental problems and unless they want to pay an assload of money after each hire they should start with a CMS.
Now. I do recommend WordPress for this, but I also recommend just using it as an API, and doing the front end (if you are brave) using something like bubble.io or retool (two cool new startups that handle tool front ends that talk to APIS)
When you hand off the system the next people should have a good time.
Reddit has been known as one of the most popular online community platforms. With thousands of subreddits for every niche, the platform is home to some of the most engaged communities in the world. But if you’re a maker who’s interested in building a community, using a third-party platform can often carry some perceived risks. By hosting your community on an existing platform, you’re subject to the rules, policies, and product changes of this provider.
With the rise of no-code tools, makers from all backgrounds can start building their own software, all without writing a single line of code. Bubble’s powerful platform has made it easier than getting started on your development journey. Our customers use Bubble to build websites, mobile apps, and of course, communities.
The steps in building a reddit clone in bubble is in this site.
oh. thought it was already public, yeah this is just a snippt from the actual editor, there a ton of errors because i orginally had everything connected in the actual app.

Provide the solution without tech or with low-tech via bubble.io
For example, Zenefits did all their HR stuff manually until they built the product.
If your idea is as good as you say it is and it solves a real problem - you should be able to land customers that will pre-pay for your solution.
If that task is too difficult then maybe your not at product-market fit yet.
I'd go with https://bubble.io/ within WebView. However there are certain limitation on the minimal app functionality in Play Store and just a webview may not be enough i.e. there should be few other screens in the app.
Even after a 3 or 4-month full-time bootcamp you won't be able to build whatever you want, it will probably take months or years or applied use to get good enough to do that.
It would give you a good foundation but if you don't use it you will use it.
A better path might be to look at nocode/locode platforms that allow you to build web experiences with no/minimal coding knowledge. Bubble is a good option, there are many others as well. https://bubble.io/
Or you might want to do a Udemy (or similar) course on Wordpress.
I haven't used bubble.io yet. But I know from playing around with it, it's a great platform. I'm not sure how well it will function as a CMS. You might want to go with a WordPress setup since its built for this and it has all the features (plugins) you'd need.
Make sure that the blog is not a subdomain so that the content SEO value is pasted to the root domain. Subdomains are viewed as separate websites from the root.
You can almost certainly do this with no-code or low-code. The tricky bit is likely to be "algorithms to produce pricing". Depending on the processing you need to do, you may need to go outside the platform you're on, probably by calling an external API, or possibly using a plug-in if you can find a suitable one. So I'd imagine it's doable, but it might take a bit of wiggling. The database, contact form, and output of pricing quotes is all probably fairly straightforward. For what it's worth, bubble.io is great and can easily handle something like this.
Depending on how strict your requirements are, you could store the data in the Amazon/AWS ecosystem and not persist anything in your no-code platform.
As an example, I use Bubble.io for various projects, and for some I send data off to be stored in AWS products. For files you can use S3; for data in databases you could use RDS (relational database service) or DynamoDB (a document/NoSQL storage option). Happy to provide further details on this if you're interested.
The data will flow through Bubble with this set-up, but not be stored on their servers. Information should be transmitted securely (via https), and you can encrypt data at rest in AWS, so I believe this is quite secure for most purposes.
If you are dealing with HIPAA or financial data, you'd, of course, need to do some serious digging to determine whether this will be compliant. But for many cases, I think AWS is considered significantly more secure than home-rolled storage/persistence solutions. It is, in part, a question of threat model: is the concern that the data will flow through Bubble's (or other no-code platform) servers (i.e., it's highly sensitive), or that data at rest needs to be secure?
Hope this is helpful :)
i'm currently building a marketplace that also has a social network aspect...i'm using bubble.....still in the building stage
​
i found this video playlist very helpful in learning how to use bubble

I've found Webflow to be pretty limiting in terms of prototyping. For prototyping a web app with any sort of complexity, I'd really recommend trying out Bubble.io . Responsive design with it has been a pain compared to webflow, but they've set a pretty high bar to beat in that regard.
Have you tried this yet?
https://bubble.io/plugin/cotter-passwordless-login-1597612902630x453244932026794000
I found it by using Bing. Developing in bubble is tough sometimes because you can search on Google, not find an answer, search the forums, not find an answer, etc. I always try every search engine xD.
Appreciate the message of hope sir. I've never made anything in my life (tech wise) so this was a fun exercise if nothing else. I used Bubble.io which was a cool tool. I'm nowhere near a real developer but learning the logic and building something from scratch is definitely fun. Glad to hear your got out of the cycle and made some money!
Okay then this: Your goal is to be an assistant on the kind of show you want to edit. If you want to films... do films. Don't say "welll.... I can do commercails." Its impossible to swtich. You can swtich from assistant on commercials.. to assistant on films.... but you HAVE to be an assistant on the thing you want to do.
Also be honest with yourself. Why do you like editing? Or do you really want to direct/ or create thing? Don't realize you really wnated to be a director all along but thought editing might be easier. Its not.
​
Also coding is so easy and simple these days. Everything is changing. You are entering into a world that is brand new. check out bubble.io thats just the beginning. Its wild whats out there. Unreal Engine. Man... in 20 years... films/tv shows will be very differerent. Actually.. ha probably not.
Check out some no code/low code platforms like Bubble.io These will allow you to build up the data structures you need and can do it all graphically without needing to actually code a DB up. You can also drag and drop a front end to that data to handle filtering and whatever else you might want. I used it as a proof of concept project back in school on the free tier just to show what could be done with it. Though I am a C# and Python dev (mostly C#) it was nice to quickly and easily build out a working prototype application with a backend with minimal effort and time invested. They also have great tutorials to get you started. There are other platforms out there, but I don't know of them off the top of my head. This is just the one I have personal experience using in a class project back in college.
"- Set up your data type structure" Follow the https://bubble.io/blog/build-stocks-app-no-code/ tutorial, the first step after creating your account is to add some fields to the data type user... you try it and... NOP, you need to first create the "List of stock" data type.....
"- Upload data via csv" You are UNABLE to use this feature unless you are a paid user, I do not have problems paying for the tool IF I already learned how to use it and get the most of it, so far I have seen that bubble is free mostly for the front end benefit, anything data related needs to be paid.
"- Create charts and searches on a page based on the data" How Am I going to be able to test/learn this features if I am unable to upload my data?
The example I use is Tableau, you can do all that from the start even in the free version (the only thing is that your data is going to be public), so bubble for instance would not be a good tool to make any type of data intensive solution (as I posted in my OP from one month ago)
Yeah I see your points, I think you are right, the design needs to be more practical and easy for the user. I've been looking at the behaviour of users and it seems like some "get lost" while using the site, so it does also confirm what you say. I'll try to remix some other sites and see what I can come up with :).
I had heard about bubble.io, but I have never used it, I'll check it out and see what we can do with it.
We had already heard that advice about making the site more "personal" and include info about us, so it's easier to identify it with a person. So another thing that we'll try to implement as soon as possible.
Thanks again for your feedback, I really liked your way of expressing it. Sometimes it can be hard to receive "criticism", but your way of doing it helped it to make it constructive. We'll get back to the drawing board and see what we can come up with. I also believe that easy access to therapy is very needed, even if it's only a simple course. We've met many patients who wait for years or can't afford it at all, so that's a big motivation to find alternatives.
Cheers!
I built ours with bubble.io, and as other commenters said it can be pretty fast to get going. I had the private beta live in 2 weeks (just me, nights and weekends, first time using Bubble)
Hey Sideprojecters,
For the last few years I've been meaning to clean out the dryer vent pipe. Y'know the thing that can burn your house down if it gets full of lint?
Well, I finally did it a couple months ago and it was so full of lint that the cleaning tool wouldn't push all the way through. I had to feed a vacuum hose down the other end to dislodge the massive amount of lint.
I don't know if it had ever been cleaned. We could have actually burned our house down by doing laundry.
That's on the extreme end, but I'm not great about remembering to do a lot of the other adulting things either, so I built this web app (on bubble.io) for my wife and I.
She loves it (she's a list-maker and likes to check things off) and it's working well for us, so I built out the site (wordpress) to open it up to the public. Onotto.com
If it's something you could use, be our guest. If it's missing a killer feature, or some part of the experience isn't great, I'd love your feedback.
You are exactly right about the benefit being way higher in person. But hopefully, you found Andrew's response on getting both instructors and customers to use it.
I think Andrew's response with using live video engagement was more about COVID solutions vs pre or post COVID solutions that can't be done outside (especially in the winter months).
Sometimes it's hard to get both or convince one to get on the platform first. If there are no customers, why would an instructor join it? If there are only a few instructors/coaches, why would a customer start using it?
So the solution is possible and probably doable with no-code tools like Bubble.io. If you create the tool, see who you can get to start using it in one city to validate market demand from both sides, then go from there.
If to build an MVP takes a lot of time maybe you should split your MVP in multiple, smaller, MVPs. If you want continuous feedback you need to push out small features as quickly as possible and you need to be ready to throw away parts of what you wrote.
Figma and InVision are useful for the wire mocks so you know how your MVP should work/look.
To code or not? It really depends on what you need to do. There are tools like bubble.io, retool.com, ... which can really speed up development, especially if you need some data entry and visualization.
Remember, you are building an MVP, you need to test out your idea. Faster you build it faster you will get feedbacks.
