Huge thank you to @Bubble for continuing to support AI Builders in the UK!
Create With_@CreateWithHQ

We’re excited to announce that @bubble is returning as a Gold Sponsor for Create With 2026! Bubble is the platform for launching apps, not just prototypes - combining AI prompting with powerful visual editing so you can build scalable web and mobile apps exactly how you imagine them, without writing code. We’re hugely grateful to have Bubble back for 2026. They’ve supported Create With every year since our very first edition in 2024. The Bubble team will be joining us on the day in Brighton, so make sure to stop by, say hello, and ask them your questions.

Security is as important as it ever was, and I'm excited to be teaming up with @bubble once again to create an extensive security course, that covers both theory and practical application of Bubble's security tools. The first batch is out, and we'll be dropping regular content that goes in-depth in nerdy detail on how to protect your user's data.
Bubble@bubble

It seems that vibe coded apps are tantamount to security breaches these days. Thankfully, Bubble comes with built-in security features across all paid plans to help you build securely from the start, and we worked with longtime community member @AmlieSolutions to teach you how to use them. New lessons just dropped covering how privacy rules can look right and still leave your data exposed, where the gaps form, and how to lock down your app before it becomes a headline. We're continuing to add to it, so start now and you'll get notified with each drop. 🔐

Everyone I work with that is thinking of leaving @bubble starts with ‘I love Bubble, but…’ Which is super interesting. Because how could a company with such positive user sentiment fumble their lead so catastrophically. What is Bubble doing that makes advocates consider leaving? The answer is probably more in what is Bubble *not* doing. If you look at the feature releases for the last 6-12 months, the biggest feature released by Bubble for existing serious users with real businesses on Bubble that don’t have native mobile apps, is button icons. Button icons! In 2026! And the most important ‘feature’ released altogether for this user segment has been Buildprint, which isn’t even built by Bubble! The property editor updates are fine but don’t move the needle for anyone because experienced users already knew the ins and outs of the old ones so updating it would never be a priority for them. The biggest question we have as users is ‘who is Bubble for?’. If you’re non-technical, you can’t really build anything substantial on Bubble and claiming as such is just wishful thinking. If you’re technical enough to use Bubble, you’re also technical enough to use AI-assisted development with code. Not even the Bubble TEAM knows who Bubble is for. @emmanuel_s has this even been agreed? How can a product roadmap exist if you don’t know who you’re building for? ‘Win first builds’ but win first builds from *who*? There’s no sense of direction or coherent vision that we can see externally based on Bubble’s releases and marketing. The serious users of the platform have basically been given nothing over the last year, so why would they believe they should stick with Bubble and trust they’ll get the features they need, when Bubble’s offered no words or actions to that effect? For many it will be too little too late and the decision has been made to move off of Bubble. But for most, who are still unsure, Bubble has the opportunity to extend an offer to them and commit to features that they need, like workflow branching, returning data from backend workflows etc. But on the current course, it will keep being ‘next year we’ll work on power users’ but it’ll never be attended to because the new user experience will always take priority. It’s all good prioritising new users, until the existing users spending thousands of dollars a month decide to leave and revenue starts leaking from the back door of the platform. I’m not naive to the importance of continued growth and staying relevant in an AI world but the reality is that a significant number of apps are now considering migrating (many for the wrong reasons, and they don’t actually need to migrate - but that doesn’t change the maths for Bubble). Bubble has an opportunity over the next few months to extend an olive branch to serious apps and give them things they’ve been waiting for years for. Waiting any longer will be too little too late for many. I’m rooting for Bubble and invest in the platform because it can have a future if it moves in the right (or even just any) direction. I’m not going to just stand by it if we get nothing back, though.

There is a part of me that wants to start a real world / non software business just to see how much I could actually automate it with AI.

@fraxool I’ve only EVER got reviews from support interactions, which is a shame as you shouldn’t really need to talk to support to use an app

I’m genuinely wondering how you guys get reviews on your apps without support interactions. I added review banners in-app and merchants sometimes click the 👍 but almost nobody actually leaves a review afterward. I’ve always struggled way more than competitors to get reviews 😬

Built a fun little Mac app this week in 30 mins using Codex! It does live subtitles for in person presentations using the OpenAI Realtime Transcription API. Super simple app, you can customise the size / position / screen the subtitles are shown on and select which mic input it should use. This definatly brings home how anyone can just build pretty much any app they need now!

@jamesdevonport You can just ask Codex to install it and it works - needs to go and download the files itself

Has anyone managed to enable the Codex Computer Use plugin in the UK? Can't seem to find a way and really want to try it!

We've just hit £4 billion in assets under administration. And we're only getting started. It took 33 months to go from £1bn to £2bn. 14 months to reach £3bn. And just 8 months to get here. 7,600+ investments, low fees, and part of FTSE 100 IG Group. We're building the investment platform you can count on. Thank you for your trust. Capital at risk. AuA figure correct as of 20 April 2026. Freetrade is part of IG Group, a FTSE 100 company.
