Visual Programming | Bubble
Bubble is a no-code platform that enables building web applications visually without traditional programming. The Bubble ecosystem includes a domain (hiringtools.org) that is connected to a Bubble application. However, the current app plan does not support a custom domain, so ownership may need to upgrade the app plan with Bubble to restore the domain connection.
Overview
- Bubble-based web app that supports product design, data logic, collaboration, security, AI prompts, and mobile access.
- The platform targets founders, developers, agencies, and enterprise teams looking to rapidly prototype and deploy apps.
- The domain connection status and plan alignment impact whether the app can be accessed via a custom domain.
How Bubble Works (High-Level)
- Build visually using Drag-and-Drop UI elements and workflows.
- Define data structures (types and fields) to model application data.
- Create logic with workflows that trigger on user actions, API calls, or schedules.
- Deploy to a live environment; Bubble handles hosting and scaling.
Platform Resources and Context
- Product Resources: Product Design, Data Logic, Collaboration, Security, AI prompts, Mobile, Status.
- Audience: Founders, Developers, Agencies, Enterprise.
- Learning & Support: Academy, Technical guides, Blog, FAQs, Support policies, GDPR/DPA considerations.
- Marketplace & Tools: AI Marketplace Templates, Plugins, Templates, Extensions, Partners, Community resources.
How to Use Bubble (Typical Workflow)
- Create or connect a Bubble project (app).
- Design UI with visual components and pages.
- Configure data types and fields to store app data.
- Define workflows to implement app logic and integrations.
- Test in a preview mode and iterate.
- Deploy or upgrade plan if you need domain support or advanced features.
Domain and Plan Considerations
- The app domain connection depends on the current Bubble plan.
- Upgrading the app plan may restore the ability to use a custom domain (e.g., hiringtools.org) and improve reliability for production use.
How It Works
- Bubble provides a visual editor for UI and logic, server hosting, and built-in security features.
- You can connect external APIs, implement user authentication, and manage data through a no-code data model.
- The platform emphasizes rapid development, collaboration across teams, and scalability for startups and enterprises.
Safety and Legal Considerations
- Ensure you comply with Bubble’s terms of service and privacy policies.
- If handling user data, configure data privacy rules and security settings appropriate for your jurisdiction (GDPR/DPA considerations).
