Build Real Apps with Bubble, Not Just Prototypes

Prototypes don’t scale. Products do. Bubble compresses design, data, logic and deployment into a single visual stack so teams move from idea to income without wrestling boilerplate or cloud scaffolding (Bubble).

Ship features in days, not quarters. Swap messy hand‑offs for a unified editor. Upgrade safely with deliberate versioning and scheduled releases.

Track every change with Changelog for surgical debugging and accountability. From messy debug sessions to AI‑powered clarity, what matters is momentum. Launch apps, not prototypes.

System requirements and setup: 100% browser‑based, no local setup required. Create an account and open the editor.

Start with the Getting Started guides in the Manual to learn editor navigation, data modelling and workflows.

For controlled updates, configure Immediate vs Scheduled Release and test engine versions in dev first.

Step‑by‑step:

1. Create app: New app from dashboard; choose blank or template.
2. Model data: Define data types, fields and privacy rules.
3. Build UI: Drag elements, bind to data, design responsive layouts.
4. Add logic: Create workflows for events, including backend tasks.
5. Integrate: Use API Connector or install plugins from the marketplace.
6. Test & upgrade: Validate features on dev; adopt new engine versions deliberately.
7. Deploy: Promote to Live when verified.
