It would be great if there was a link to explore without logging in, because I don't feel particularly compelled to give my details to this site.

well it'd be hard to make twitter without having handlers, etc., but you can put a random email address :) we're not doing this to collect emails

As far as I can tell, the login doesn't actually do anything...I think all this kid is claiming is that he made the login page I guess

> if we ever for some reason have to close down shop, we will release the Bubble source code under an open-source license so that you can set up your own Bubble server and keep your app running

That's quite a nice thing to read. I hope more people start committing to this.

So this is your site? That you submitted? Maybe should have been a Show HN?

it's one of our users.

Could have been a SHOW HN indeed, even though it's more about the idea that you can do that without code than showing twitter

Ah, you should specify that you need to make an account. For some reason I was thinking this might somehow attempt to do SSO and grab your actual twitter data

The level of detail in this makes me doubt the claim (0 lines of code), but assuming it is true: really well done.

For those who are wondering if its just a login page: you can register an account (login is automatic on registration, and email verification is not required). The entire UI is almost exactly same as twitter.
