Our star developer built two bubble games over the weekend for fun. All native @bubble -- not a single plugin to be seen, not even Bubble made ones. 🧵

@SSursom @LuizaJarovsky I was looking for this exact response. You expect a person with a PhD to draw a map from memory there lady? Ask it again but let it use some APIs.

@LuizaJarovsky So To prove GPT-5 isn’t PHD level, you ask it to do something most PHD level people can’t do 😂😂

Sam Altman: With GPT-5, you'll have a PhD-level expert in any area you need Me: Draw a map of North America, highlighting countries, states, and capitals GPT 5: *Sam Altman forgot to mention that the PhD-level expert used ChatGPT to cheat on all their geography classes...

I think I just hit the threshold of collector... #unhappywife

Yo! Never saw that tiny button.

It's about freaking time.

@ClausISaidSo @bubble No. Freaking. Way.

WHAT @BUBBLE!?? FINALLY!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 WE'VE ↖️ GOT➡️ ICONS↘️ IN⬆️ BUTTONS ⬇️ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@BrettFromDJ I think he only has one pant leg

@BrettFromDJ No hate brother. Did you get sales right away or just keep pushing until you did?

@JustHumeToGo I did and then stuck with it for 7 years. Thanks for proving my point.

@elibeachy We love using figjam. A much prettier miro.

Looking for product roadmap software recommendations. What works well for you?

@zubair_nocode @bubble We have done this so many times... It's like a man going to a carpenter and saying "build me this exact Ikea table, with no modifications whatsoever."

Just got off the call with someone who wanted us to build a marketplace for them using @bubble Here is how it went - They wanted a straight forward marketplace - Usual stuff, profile, landing page, stripe connect etc. - Calendar booking system. After listening to him, I explained the complexities around Stripe Connect Express and Calendar booking systems. I could sense his hesitation around spending so much to get his idea off the ground. So I asked him to consider @sharetribe to build his MVP. No need to do a custom build. He was surprised. Asked me if I could do it. I said no I only do bubble stuff. Then he was confused about why I'd steer him away to some place else. I'm like, I don't mind saying the right thing. If your marketplace had something special, sharetribe may not have worked for you. But you want a standard marketplace and that should work. Regardless, you'll refer someone to us later anyways. Its a small world Should I have continued the conversation and built it for them using Bubble? Or did I do the right thing? :)

@elibeachy This is hilarious. And sad.

Bubble devs have a unique sense of humor. I think its a coping mechanism 😂

@BrettFromDJ I'm sorry, I just have to say, components, variables and auto-layout take a few hours max to learn. They're also incredibly useful and a huge boost to productivity if used correctly.

@BrettFromDJ Brett, isn't this the research that you despise though?

Designers, there's nothing wrong with "fake" work. In fact, it can be one of the best things you ever do. Most of us aren't lucky enough to work at Meta, Apple, or Netflix. We work on boring products, for boring companies. This can leave our portfolios looking boring itself, when in reality we are way better. So what did I do? I redesigned brands and platforms I liked. This not only made me a better designer, but it allowed me to build a strong portfolio. Why? Because I wasn't restricted by my current job and the limitations often placed on creatives. I was free to flex my skills without having to gain 5 levels of approval for every decision. You'd be surprised by how many hiring managers would rather see this. The reason is simple: Fake work shows your actual creativity, unsuppressed and unrestricted. I didn't only get multiple design jobs this way. It's how I launched Designjoy. Showcasing "fake" work isn't something wrong or deceitful. If anything, it's a truer, more autentic representation of your actual talents. Versus some design asset that has been morphed and twisted over and over again by corporate bureaucracy. Which happens 9 times out of 10, by the way.

@BrettFromDJ Looks like intercom. Cool.

@elibeachy If you have a team member that's good at it, it's hard to beat.

Do we still like Webflow or nah?

@elibeachy Oh man dad guilt is a real thing

Why are there no late night coworking spaces? I would be much more likely to use a coworking space from 10p-2a than I would from 9a - 5p. Get the kids in bed and head out for several hours of focus work away from the house with no dad-guilt intruding.

@JJEnglert Time to join us in Canada!

@mneary0 Love it Matt. Amazing like always. Fyi it does say "Notifcations" on there.

New yt video just DROPPED. youtu.be/15JZoyrT97Q I say 'dropped' cause it sounds cool but really all I mean by that is that it's been 'posted' but 'posted' is so noughties.

@mflotron @ClausISaidSo @bubble @bestbubbledev @officialtaras @MantasOmus Definitely not a cult. Definitely.

So pumped to get to see so many fellow Bubblers this morning! Thanks for putting this together @ClausISaidSo! @bubble
