Took a sweet little detour to
@SwapstackHQ
-land, but as of today, I'm back in the full-time
@Bubble
freelancing game.
📢 Founders: If you need a designer / developer / funtime-friend to build out (or prettify 🧚🏼♂️) your thing, shop's open:
@romejohnso
My sister had craniosynostosis! She had a million surgeries as a kid. In her kindergarten pictures, she had a bald little head w/a bow taped to it. Now she's 43, a veterinarian, & tough as nails.
I never knew what it was like for our parents. Excited to have found your channel!
Just onboarded my very first actual paid user for
@rote_app
(built!! on!!
@bubble

Wanna cry and dance and also punch things for some reason. Maybe that's normal?

Big week for
@Bubble
- fancy new responsive engine, and (drumroll.......) 👉👉👉 ME 👈👈👈 for a Bootcamp Instructor!!!
First session starts November 15. Come learn some stuff with me! ⬇️
Alright
@bubble
friends, I can finally share this big honking thing I've been working on for the past couple months...
Indulge me while I talk about it all day...
Good morning,
@bubble
, I want this please:
A sweet little text field where I can explain to future me (and future devs) what the hell my conditionals means in plain English.
It would be amazing if
@bubble
had a couple folks who are focused solely on "polish" - just pumping out fixes for all the little papercuts that annoy us throughout the day. For example...
📣📣📣ATTN: Lady/Gentleman
@Bubble
Devs!
On March 14,
@_sarahesteve
and I are hosting an online "learning share" / "let's all be friends" summit for professional devs.
Anyone can present a session, on any topic, and attendance is FREE.
Details here:
Been
@bubble
-ing so much my brain is putting conditionals on my sleep positions...
Spoon [current partner] ONLY WHEN temperature<78 degrees AND socks:count<1 AND [current partner] is not "sweaty"
Despite
@iamjeremyenns
hammering 🤬 a 🤬 shelf 🤬 together 🤬 in the next room for almost my ENTIRE exam, I'm now officially
@bubble
certified. That guy is taking me out to the fanciest f*cking dinner tonight.
I want more face time with other professional
@bubble
devs. Anyone down for a weekly zoom? No agenda, just hanging out, helping each other, talking about boys or whatever. Holler at me if you wanna join. 💙
@tranhelen
In college I applied for a summer data entry job I found in the classifieds. Weird empty office, funny vibe. Half way through the interview, 5 or 6 FBI agents bust in the room and ARREST THE GUY. I was like "Um should I leave?" Young agent says "Yeah you don't wanna work here."
Yo
@bubble
how, seriously, HOW is this your policy when someone cancels their plan? The entire internet has figured out how to prorate billing - including most of your users. Are you *trying* to give off greedy overlord vibes?
The University of Calgary is launching a new program to introduce folks to
#nocode
and
@bubble
and it's gonna be amazing.
I'm so stoked to be a part of this team and this project. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Please give
@UCalgaryNoCode
a follow and share with all your people!
I think
@bubble
twitter is not ready for this..
The
@SwapstackHQ
product team is INCREDIBLY excited to welcome the one, the only, the incomparable
@ClausISaidSo
to the team!
Kelly is a true superstar, and we're building a dream team with her and
@marinatrajk
!!
👋🏻Welcome!
Alright, weekly
@Bubble
hangs for folks building professionally. Every Thursday (lord help me) at alternating times so folks on all sides of the 🌎 can come.
RSVP here, m'nerds:

The
#1
most common question I get on coaching calls is "Is my idea possible in
@bubble
?"
So far I haven't ever had to say no, and that is just really, really cool.
Who's freelancing in
@bubble
? I get a good deal of build requests and I wanna put together a list of folks I can refer projects to. Gimme a 👋 if this is you...
I know we're all freaking out about
@bubble
's pricing changes, but looks like they're listening (like they do). Choosing to have faith that they'll figure it out...
?!?!WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT!?!?
You guys!!!
@bubble
fixed the new-group responsive settings!!!!

@estraschnov
, you freaking angel, MMMWAH!
The other day, a couple of
@bubble
-rs asked if they could peek at my naming(+emoji) conventions. I wrote up a little thing for them and figured I might as well share it with all of you fine folks. Here it is, if you're curious:
I wish someone had told me when I was first starting out in
@bubble
that you can restructure your data later if the way you've done it sucks.
If you're new to all of it and scared of doing it "wrong," this little 'bulk' button is your friend, my friend.
Closing out the final session of
#DevDay
and (I will speak for
@_sarahesteve
on this)... we are so very tired and SO DELIRIOUSLY CONTENT.
34 sessions, 350+ attendees, 2000+ RSVPs.
If there was ever a question, it's settled:
@bubble
has the best community on the internet. 💙
I just want to say, for as much as I moan about little stuff in
@bubble
, I love it x1000 and I'm so grateful that
@estraschnov
and Josh Haas built it.
It's completely changed my little life.
This morning I met Eve from the
@bubble
team. She is responsible for the B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L slides we all saw at
#bubblecon2023
and the brand refresh they've been rolling out and I think she and her (teeny-weenie) team deserve a freaking huge round of applause.
Helping a coaching client w/her
@bubble
app...
She hired a guy off Fiverr to build it. 1 page, 2 forms. Simplest app, maybe ever.
It took him 6 weeks.
Also, get this: It's never been deployed. USERS ARE WORKING IN DEV.
And...omg ready?
There is a PASSWORDS data type.
@SwapstackHQ
officially surpassed $1M earned by creators.
Between sponsorships, affiliates & tip jars,
#newsletter
writers of all shapes and sizes have used Swapstack to build & grow new revenue streams.
Huge milestone for our users, and it's just the beginning.
If you're still building in
@bubble
's old responsive engine, YOU ARE TORTURING YOURSELF FOR NOTHING.
Be nice, to yourself and just click the button, friend.
For the past 6 weeks, I've had the pleasure/honor/outright-glee to rebuild
@saidwithcandor
from scratch on
@Bubble
alongside founder
@kelseyCbishop
& her team of geniuses.
Today it launches on Product Hunt(!!!). Pls take a look and support it:
You guys think there are enough
@bubble
devs to maintain all the stuff that's being built right now? I think no, but maybe I don't know all the Bubble devs out there...
I didn't have real babies, but sometimes I gaze on my pretty little
@bubble
workflows and I think I probably feel just as much love and pride as actual moms.
In the final session of my first
@bubble
bootcamp, one of my students casually mentioned that instead of doing the homework, SHE BUILT HER OWN PLUGIN, and I literally started crying. This gig is the best.
@bubble
OH. And please make the 'Collapse when hidden' box checked by default. Very few instances where I'd want to hide something but not collapse it. Like almost none. Maybe literally zero.
PSA for
@bubble
folks: DON'T "schedule an API workflow on a list" if yer list > 100 things. That crap will break & you will scream/growl/cry for way too many days until Tonya
@ProNoCoders
tells you Bubble just sucks at that sort of thing and you gotta go recursive instead.
Today, I've been traveling for 6 years straight. 😲
No clue how many countries/miles/flights/trains that makes, but I *do* know I still cannot handle a cold shower or a lumpy bed (ahem, Mexico).
My (sorta)new favorite
@bubble
thing is having a bunch of "Variables" groups that just hold bits of dynamic data I need to reference a lot. Instead of building the same search a million times, I just point to that GR VAR and grab it's data source, easy peasy 🤜🏽🍋🤛🏽, yw.
The Madrid
@bubble
meetup was an absolute blast. At least 6 nationalities rep'd in this photo - newbies, oldies, founders, friends (and a little dog, too 🐕).
Round of applause for the glorious
@sonia_toqqe
, who basically IS the dynamism of the Bubble community in human form. 👏
The first-ever official
@bubble
meetup was a blast! 🤩
So happy to meet so many
#Bubblers
coming from different corners of Spain:
#Barcelona
,
#Valencia
,
#M
álaga.. and of course,
#Madrid
🤗
We enjoyed every minute of this 2-day-kick off event!
Have a look to what we did! 👀⤵️
MASSIVE thumbs up for
@bestbubbledev
&
@lowcodekrish
's API+
@bubble
YouTube series.
Super friendly approach + super clear explanations & examples. Highly recommended for those who are (also) a little terrified of all this silliness.
OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!
After 8 years of nomading, just got word that I can officially move to Spain!!! 🇪🇸
SOMEBODY DO A DANCE WITH ME, THIS IS VERY EXCITING!!!!!
All I want to do all day is refactor the data structure in your
@bubble
app and then clean up your UI and fix all your naming conventions and then record a bunch of Looms talking about it.
Man, teaching live is hard but teaching via pre-recorded video is HARRRRRRRDDDDD. You gotta be so clear and non-rambly. New respect for
@_gregoryjohn
, that guy is some kinda magic.
We just wrapped
#ODNC2
and I can honestly say I didn't think I'd ever have such a big experience again in my life.
@JanelSGM
,
@thisiskp_
@MorrisHuang5
you have restored my belief in community & leadership. My life is truly changed.
Y'all, be afraid of this next
@beondeck
#ODNC
cohort. We had about 10 of the new fellows on our
@bubble
learning share session today and they(😮) know(😮) their(😮) crap(😮).
Some of my favorite updates from
@bubble
's papercut sprint...
1️⃣ First, the big honker - the one we've aaaaall been waiting for: NO MORE FIXED SETTINGS FOR NEW GROUPS!
Look at that big beautiful infinite width column, freaking delicious.
Hey listen,
@bubble
. When you revamp the expression editor (which you must do soon or we will have words), all you gotta do is rip off
@coda_hq
's formula editor EXACTLY and everyone will love it. That thing is so good.
Playing with
@Bubble
's responsive engine today and need something to practice on...
Drop a screenshot of a page in your app ⬇️ and I'll reproduce it and share all the settings with you.
I would love for someone at
@bubble
to explain the decision behind making this window so absurdly tiny.
We can do it over drinks if you want. (Think you might need one, because I can be A LOT.)
Delight overload:
My oldest
@bubble
friends
@yodanparry
,
@tobyallen007
&
@JayYoms
(arrived 4 minutes after this photo was taken, moop) + my newest Bubble friend

(+ my BF & Charlotte who aren't Bubblers but are nevertheless delightful)
Calling London a win. 💪
