Visual Programming | Bubble
Bubble is a no-code/low-code visual programming platform that enables you to build and deploy web applications without writing traditional code. The content describes Bubble as a Bubble-built app with a domain brikly.ai linked to a Bubble application. Currently, the domain connection requires upgrading the app plan with Bubble to restore or maintain the custom-domain connection. It highlights Bubble’s ecosystem for product design, data logic, collaboration, security, AI prompts, mobile status, and resources for founders, developers, agencies, and enterprises.
Overview
- Build web applications visually using a drag-and-drop interface.
- Manage data structures, workflows, and logic without coding.
- Access resources such as templates, plugins, AI prompts, and technical guides.
- Suitable for founders, developers, agencies, and enterprises looking to prototype, iterate, and deploy products quickly.
- Domain connection requires an upgraded Bubble plan to restore full custom-domain functionality.
How Bubble Works (High-Level)
- Create or connect a Bubble app. Start a new project or reconnect an existing one (subject to plan limitations).
- Design UI with visual editor. Drag-and-drop elements to build pages and components.
- Define data models. Create data types and fields to structure app data.
- Configure workflows. Implement business logic through visual workflows and conditions.
- Integrate plugins and AI prompts. Extend functionality with plugins and AI-assisted prompts.
- Test and deploy. Preview, iterate, and deploy to a live environment when ready.
Note: The ability to use a custom domain may require upgrading the Bubble plan to restore the connection, as indicated in the provided content.
