How to set up API Connections in bubble Recently, I had the opportunity to create educational content for @airdevco. The goal of the project was to help grow the awareness of @bubble and the amount of developers in the ecosystem.

@AvidCommentator The construction labor shortage has been critical for the last decade. Less than 7% of 16-18 year Olds want to enter the industry despite high salaries in trades. One challenge is marketing, the construction industry struggles with selling career opportunities and pathways.

Narrative: Australia needs more construction workers Reality: Australia has almost 50% more construction workers per capita as the U.S and 57% more than the OECD average. Perhaps the demand side of things needs to be considered? Chart source: macrobusiness.com.au/2024/04/canada…

@radshaan There's been 17 unicorns in Construction Tech. Here is a breakdown of the successful business models and what each unicorn does by @foundamental and @aec_vc foundamental.com/aecvc/5-models…

Someone needs to bring quality software to the construction industry. That entire industry is stuck in a pre-software era

Everything I learned about audience building reading @david_perell is turning out to be true. I am starting to receive deeply thoughtful replies to my newsletter on construction topics I mention including introductions to experts subscribers know. It's wild.

If you want to learn about more solutions which could help you - check out my newsletter. 11 new construction tech solutions were featured this week: contechroundup.substack.com

Technology solutions gives engineers LEVERAGE. That means we can do MORE with LESS.

Startups such as @Permitflow or @WithPulley help streamline the construction permitting process. @upcodes helps us with building code compliance.

One reason is that we have increased the regulatory burden which, while necessary (think safety or emissions), affects delivery schedule and cost. One solution is to use more tech.

We build SLOWER than we used to. Construction productivity in Australia has fallen 1.8% since 1990.

Just got to 50 subs on my newsletter and my first paid pledge! There was no growth for about 10 weeks and then people subscribed all at once last week. Not sure why yet.

@JVazquez2022 @zeroqode @bubble @myfirstmilpod @syedbalkhi Had no idea, that's so interesting. I assume they are the largest plugin dev/owner for bubble. Their Air Native plugin has 24k installs and is $10/month or lifetime $29. That's minimum ~$700k in rev.

@bhragan1 @zeroqode @bubble @myfirstmilpod @syedbalkhi This is insane, they just sold most, if not all, their templates and acquired a whole bunch of plugins from smaller developers

In 2021 @zeroqode had 200+ @bubble plugins ~30% of all available (In 2023 they have 524 plugins). Listening to @myfirstmilpod and @syedbalkhi I wonder if his Wordpress plugin strategy can be successfully applied to bubble plugins and templates Curious to know the rev from these

@mneary0 Thanks Matt!

@bhragan1 Massive effort mate! Absolutely no small feat and Canvas really needed some more video tutorials, nice work 🚀

For the last couple of months I've been working on a new education project for @airdevco. It's been easily one of the most rewarding projects I've been lucky enough to work on and the goal was to help @bubble devs build faster using tips we've learnt and implemented on builds.

Anyway, the videos are out now! It's on the Canvas Building Framework by Airdev and aimed at helping anyone easily use this to quickly and easily build scalable apps on bubble. youtube.com/watch?v=imqqa8…

Personally, I'm grateful to all the bubble educators and teachers out there who have put in the effort to make high quality content which helps us all to learn and grow within the ecosystem. It's a lot of work and I wouldn't have been able to progress without them.

One of the coolest websites on the history of sci-fi. Has rare stories by famous authors such as Jack London, Rudyard Kipling or Edgar Allan Poe - whom I never realised wrote sci-fi. Remarkably prescient wondersmith.com/scifi/index.htm

This is really cool. By @BretDevereaux, its a resource of historical texts/info writer's can use to make their fictional world more accurately follow the rules/expectations of reality Writer's need stories/experiences to make their worlds more realistic acoup.blog/resources-for-…

Travel these days feels less about sightseeing and more about lifestyle experimentation. What habits and lifestyles do I enjoy and wish to bring with me back home?

@JJEnglert @airdevco @mneary0 hahaha I'm Aussie, it's definitely a good thing

@bhragan1 @airdevco @mneary0 I’ll take the gun remark as a good thing. Thanks!!!
