This is great! Does anyone know what the "onboarding system" is called? The one showing tips and videos as you go along, I'd like to use it in my own project
This is actually custom-built, as it's very closely integrated with our editor (i'm talking about the learn lessons with the arrow).
Anyone know of a decent programming flow chart system? With drag and drop ifs, etc. This is for educational purposes.
We have been working on a visual tool[0] for ourselves and the development speed gains are incredible. Hopefully, there will be more non-text based programming environments.
Ummm, no. That's just rude.
No code required!.. unless you want need something that isn't a date picker or Google maps widget, then yeah you need to write code [0]. [0] https://manual.bubble.is/building-plugins/building-actions.h...
Yes, that's the vision. But then other people can use the plugin without coding, so the work is only done once. Disclaimer: I'm the founder, but didn't initiate this thread. Happy to answer questions though.
My question is: So one big strength of textual languages vs visual tools(and DSL's) is expressivity - visual languages are limited to their specific domains, while you can use, say, python to build complete systems.
Do you see this distinction remaining ? or we'll have some way to build multi-domain systems visually ?
hmmmm, "No Credit Card Required" you can sign in with Github! Just give us access to all your private repositories! Ummm, no. That's just rude.
> Public and private
I've not developed with the GitHub API, so I don't know if that just comes with the type of scope they're requesting or what. Still, wonder why they're requesting such access?

I noticed that as well before I ultimately backed out. > Public and private I've not developed with the GitHub API, so I don't know if that just comes with the type of scope they're requesting or what. Still, wonder why they're requesting such access?

Bubble is such a great tool, and you really put a lot of attention to the details. I really enjoyed trying it. My question is: So one big strength of textual languages vs visual tools(and DSL's) is expressivity - visual languages are limited to their specific domains, while you can use, say, python to build complete systems. Do you see this distinction remaining ? or we'll have some way to build multi-domain systems…
Yes, this distinction will probably remain, but we're trying to push where we need to get back to textual languages. If you need to build a machine learning algorithm, I'm not sure visual tools will ever be the way to go (though i'd love to see this).
But both ways work well together. In Bubble, you'd build your optimization algorithm as a plugin, and then you (and even better, others, non technical colleagues) will be able to use the action you've built visually. The Bubble interface becomes the common language between business, product people and coders.

Unfortunately, there's no per-repo or per-org perms which is somewhat annoying. Enabling on a repo-by-repo basis would be insanely useful.

Very cool stuff, kudos.
