Yay for frontpage 2.0. All this seems to do is make it easier for people to not better themselves. "What's this? I can make a website without having to learn anything?! Great! Let me put a million animated gifs on here!"

#42So, it lets you prototype apps. That is awesome. Too bad all those engineers are going to be farmers by 2020 though. Because when your prototype gets popular, I doubt Bubble.is can handle all the things that actually make your app run at scale (the deployments, maintenance, database, etc management programming that is really what makes apps like Twitter run .. not just the tiny html/css/js stack that the client plays…

#44It's an interesting concept, but the slowness and buginess of the site only show why that will never happen.
It's good at creating prototypes/static interfaces, but bubble.is most likely will not be the future of programming for the web.
Most sites rely on a complete infrastructure of networks, and unless you can provide a really solid PaaS creator for this, and charge money for the actual infrastructure, most users wont take it seriously. Personally I probably wont use it, but it might be nice for some people on Shark Tank :)

#46It doesn't need to scale especially well for the vast majority of customers. If your first reaction is "this doesn't scale" or "this doesn't eliminate programmers" you have to be a professional point-misser. I'd want to see how intuitive the interface for making this is but it's cool stuff, and as it matures I'm sure will only get more interesting.

#48I do not like this narrative at all, and it's becoming pretty common. Do you imagine a doctor saying "Don't worry, in 2020 most physicians won't be doctors, they will be engineers, teachers, farmers, executives"?
