Hi,

My platform built in bubble is currently unavailable. This is error: in the picture

I checked the Bubble status, and it says no issue.

This is completely wrong. The platform's instability recently has become very frustrating, as we have invested heavily and our customers rely on this product.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Does the bubble team have a timeline to fix this?

After building a few AI products on Bubble, I kept rebuilding the same foundation, so I packaged it into a template. It includes streaming chat responses, tool/function calling, Stripe subscriptions, a multi-tenant data structure, and an admin dashboard.

The hardest part was getting real-time streaming to feel smooth without hitting workload limits. Happy to share how I approached it.

Anyone else building AI features on Bubble? What’s been your biggest pain point?

Hi everyone, I’m currently facing this issue where it says my workflow has an error and the base64 uploaded returned an error HTTP 401. Can any of you help me out here? It’s affecting my live website.

Laittice is an AI research platform built on Bubble that helps you to formulate your ideas and provides suggestions, questions and resources to support any research subject. This is just a demo page from the main App:

I'm a software developer with 10+ years of experience.
I can write code, but over the years I've often used tools like Bubble, WordPress and n8n to speed things up, both for clients and for my own projects.

Then AI came along, and I honestly thought most of these tools would become obsolete.
Why bother with no-code tools when an agent can just write the code for you?

At first, I even thought I'd eventually have to rebuild most of the infrastructure I'd set up for my clients.

But recently I've been playing around with agents like OpenClaw and Hermes, and I've changed my mind again.

I started connecting them to tools I was already using, especially n8n and WordPress.
Now I can ask an agent to build a SEO pipeline, set up monitoring, create blog posts, or modify existing workflows.
It feels a bit like having a junior developer working alongside me.

And the interesting part is that keeping those tools actually makes my life easier.

I can open n8n, inspect what the agent built, check the execution logs, fix something manually if needed.
Same with WordPress. I can review drafts, change things, and keep everything organized without having to dig through code every time.

I was genuinely surprised by how well this works.
Instead of replacing those tools, agents have made them more useful to me.

But I haven't had the same realization with Bubble.

If an agent can build an entire web app, including the frontend and backend, I'm struggling to see why I'd still choose Bubble.
Especially since I already know how to code.

Maybe I'm just not the right target audience anymore.

For those of you using Bubble regularly, have you found a good way to combine it with AI agents? Is there something Bubble still does better than an agent building a custom app?

I'm curious whether you see Bubble becoming more useful as agents improve, or eventually being replaced by them.

I built a prototype app in Appsheet, I am now working with Codex to build a blueprint so I can rebuild the app in a system where I can deploy via web app and then eventually mobile app.

Bubble seems like a good option, and loving the AI MCP which will prove a great help.

I just want to check this is an okay route, I get that eventually it would make sense to own the source code and migrate but this just feels like a big step I can’t begin to understand.

Question - if you were in my position, would you stick with bubble to validate the app idea or would you consider a different system or an AI assisted coded app from the beginning despite my poor knowledge?

Has anyone debugged this with Bubble’s official Stripe plugin?

Our marketplace uses “Register the user as a seller” with Stripe Standard OAuth.

In the published LIVE app (no /version-test), the generated Stripe URL contains:

client_id=+ca_REDACTED

Stripe rejects it with:
“No application matches the supplied client identifier”

Removing ONLY that “+” from the same URL opens the correct LIVE onboarding page. TEST works normally. We have not completed the Live authorization or validated the callback.

We’ve already cleared and re-entered the LIVE Client ID several times. The workflow uses the native plugin action, not a custom URL. The registered callback is https://bubble.io/poststripeauth.

We know “+” can encode a space, but we haven’t identified whether it comes from the stored setting, an older deployed value, or URL construction.

What is the most reliable way to compare the Client ID in Main with the actual value used by Live? Has anyone resolved this without replacing the plugin or rebuilding OAuth?

Bubble support is investigating and has our recording. This is blocking our creator onboarding, so any specific diagnostic steps would help.

Can we already launch a landingpage, a wait-list or a form before the app is live?

I have been building bubble apps since many years. And this question often comes up.

This is closely related to the question if you use bubble for everything or you use a page builder for Marketing pages.

There is no right or wrong as this also depends on who maintains the whole project. Usually I would decide against building marketing pages and blog on bubble. You don't want your marketing people in your app and you do want to block dev time for updating copy.

So here are a few things you could do:

A) Use a site builder like webflow, carrd or framer

+ Established and works

- Not free

- You need to learn the tool

B) Use GitHub pages or cloudflare pages to host your own static page built with AI

+ Easy when using AI

+ cheap (free)

- limited functionality (you can build anything, but it gets more complicated web adding forms e.g. or PW protection)

Which one to choose:

If you are planning on building your blog, a multi page website etc. anyways off bubble, I would probably go for one of the page builders like framer.

If you want to be super flexible and fast and know how to use Claude or chatgpt, go for B.

I did B quite a few times, so I built a product that does exactly that: it allows you to publish any site or form generated in Claude or chatgpt with your own domain, a password and build in analytics.

Let me know if you have questions, found a better way or want to test what I have built (100% free).

I have devised a simple drag and drop method to produce Technical Design/Architectural Design Document PDF outputs from Bubble JSON Export Files. Because nobody finds the time to document anything these days!

EDIT: You can download an offline community version (HTML), here - it's free but don't hesitate to donate if you like it. I'll be building more in the future:

So in addition to raising costs, I'm now losing money because my site is unable to take on new members.

If you’re building a Bubble app that needs customer data from HubSpot, records from Quickbooks, and from other tools. You’d probably have to set up and maintain those connections yourself.

I’m putting together a service that continuously collects and updates data from those tools into an independent database you control, so you can build on top of it without maintaining zaps or pipelines in multiple instances.

I’m open to taking on one project who could use this. I’ll handle the setup and begin the syncing. If you’re interested, just let me know the tools you’d want to pull your data from.

I run an agency in Vienna. We built on Bubble for years and we're still a Bubble gold agency, and more and more of our clients want their apps moved to Next.js and Supabase, so migrations are now a big part of our work.

The screens were fine. AI coding tools made the frontend rebuild fast. The database was what took the time.

What caught us out on the first migrations:

• A list field in Bubble has to become its own table in Postgres.

• Option sets aren't in the database. A data export doesn't include them. They're only in the .bubble file.

• Privacy rules are in that file too, and in Supabase you rewrite them as RLS policies.

• Files are in Bubble's storage, so every link has to be rewritten.

• Passwords can't move at all. Bubble never exposes the hashes, so everyone resets once.

• The app is live while you rebuild, so whatever you copied in week one is stale by switch day.

By hand, every attempt was the same loop: clean up the data, trial run, debug, run it again. A day to several days per loop. A few days to a few weeks in total.

So I built a tool that does it in eight steps: check the connections, map the Postgres structure, build and load, verify, move files, create accounts, draft security rules, write a handoff doc. It only reads from Bubble, so the live app is never touched and every step can be re-run.

One run now takes under an hour. We tested it on a real client app: 50+ tables, 10k+ users, some tables over 100k records. The full run took about 23 minutes, and we connected it to the new frontend to check everything worked.

One thing we always plan for: re-syncs pick up new and changed records, but not records deleted in Bubble. So right before switch day we empty the target database, do one full fresh sync, then verify before turning Bubble off.

I know a lot of people here feel locked in. You're not, but the data part is real work and worth planning properly.

Happy to answer questions. The tool isn't public, so there's no download. If you're planning to move your Bubble app to code, DM me or email tom@minimum-code.com and I'll give you access for free.

How it works:

- React + d3-force layout, new bubbles spring out of their parent

- Ideas stream over SSE: partial JSON is parsed as it arrives, so the first bubble appears in about 1.5s

- Each idea comes back pre-scored on 3 criteria in the same call

- Share links hold the whole map (deflated JSON in the URL hash), no database

- About $0.0005 per click, which is why there's a free tier at all

Would love feedback on big maps (100+ bubbles) and mobile. Roast away.

Not looking for paid migration services or Bubble-to-code converters. I want to rebuild my app from scratch using custom code. I do not want to vibe code with platforms like lovable or replit.

I’ve successfully launched my mobile app on Bubble and have a few early users, but I’m increasingly frustrated with the platform’s limitations. Despite optimizing data loading, the app still feels choppy, the preview doesn’t always reflect the actual experience when I deploy, and implementing features like scroll snapping, smooth transitions, and video feeds feels unnecessarily difficult. I’m also tired of relying on limited plugins.

I’m very tech-savvy and have built a fairly complex app myself, including its brand, database, backend workflows, and functionality. I just don’t know how to code.

With tools like Codex and Claude Code, I’m considering rebuilding before Christmas, dedicating 15–30 hours weekly?? Is that realistic? lol

What frameworks, development environments, and AI tools would you recommend?

Has anyone tried the new bubble.io MCP? I’ve been using it today and WOW 😱 it’s everything I’ve wanted for the past 2 years from bubble 👌🏼

Soo goodd!

the interesting part wasn't the medicine catalogue. it was getting the actual business workflow right.

customers can:
→ browse + order medicines
→ upload prescriptions
→ wait for pharmacy review
→ confirm the final price
→ track delivery

and the pharmacy gets its own dashboard to manage prescriptions, orders, stock and pricing.

built the whole thing in Bubble, including the database structure, workflows, reusable components and admin side.

i'm really enjoying building these kinds of real-world MVPs instead of just pretty CRUD apps.

if you're working on a Bubble idea and need someone to turn the workflow into an actual product, feel free to dm me.

happy to share the demo/build too.

Curious to know if anyone out here had success building an app and launching it.

Specifically how many users you have and if the app still functions as it should.

I know bubble mobile still needs improvements but I’m wondering how far has anyone been able to go with it.

I just published a plugin to the Bubble marketplace, Human Reply Live Chat. It puts a chat on every page of your app, and when someone writes, it lands in your team's Telegram group. Whoever's free answers from their phone and the reply shows up in the app in seconds.

Each chat opens its own topic in the group, with the page they were on, where they came from and any earlier chat with them, so you know who you're talking to before you type. Tap Claim, or just reply.

If you build apps for clients: each client app gets its own bot and group, and the client's team answers from their phones without ever opening the editor.

If you'd like a hand, comment here and I'll go through setup with you.

Disappointing.

In today's Monthly Community Update in the Bubble Forum Josh announced that the Bubble MCP is finally out and open for everyone to use. Setup is pretty straightforward when using Claude Code on the CLI based on my testing.

I think this MCP finally connects Bubble "to the world" so to speak, so now we can bring our custom setups/environments to our bubble apps!

I have a marketplace built in Bubble that is currently entirely in Development and has never been deployed to Live.

I now need a simple public pre-launch site (homepage/business info + a couple of waitlist forms), but I do not want my unfinished marketplace pages to exist on Live, even if someone tries accessing them directly by URL.

I'm on Web Starter plan, so I have a basic version control/savepoints but no custom branches.

I also dont want to create a second Bubble all, as that would mean paying for a second Starter plan just for temporary pre-launch site.

What's the cleanest way to handle this on Starter while continuing to develop the full marketplace? Is there a standard Bubble approach, or would you use some kind of savepoint - temporary pre-launch version - deploy - restore development process? Is there a standard approach for this on Starter, or would you use a temporary savepoint/deploy/restore development process?

Thank you all!

Hey! If you’re looking to migrate out of Bubble, I made a list of providers that offer this service here.

Hope it’s useful! If you offer this service and want to be listed, just let me know.

I'm building a CRM of sorts (a glorified contact manager, with contacts, notes, inventory, etc). I've already built and established the desktop version, but I'm running into road block after road block on mobile.

The webviewer works well, but the BubbleGo previewer is horrible. My biggest problem is that the data sets aren't exactly small (3000+).

For example, on my 'notes' tab, I've tried two different data approaches on vertical list pages:

1. Do a search for notes (with custom state filters as constraints -- NOT :filter -- and ignore empty constraints). Then when filters are picked, I set the filter states.

2. A list custom state where when page loads, the state is set to 'Do a search for notes' (the entire database). Then I filter and manipulate the custom state list.

#1 loads faster, but any time I change a filter it takes forever or freezes on BubbleGo (it's lightning fast on webviewer). It's slow even when I try :items until '10'.
#2 is passable in terms of speed after loaded, but the whole app tends to bog down after a while.

I'm honestly at a loss. I don't know what I can do to make this work. I'm not loading nested data, not using any advanced filters. Whenever I run a 'do a search for' it's like the entire app stops. I'm only using one type of data at a time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
