Bubble

The New Build — a new podcast featuring the founders, creators, and industry leaders who are building with modern tools and redefining what it means to scale today. Coming soon to YouTube, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.

Tired: chasing the next big thing Wired: building the boring thing nobody else wanted to fix

The worst part of vibe coding isn't building the first version. It's the edits. You've got a working prototype. Something looks slightly off. The text is a touch too big. A card needs to move a little further right. The spacing between two elements is wrong. So you prompt it. "Make the heading slightly smaller." It makes it smaller. Too small. You prompt again. "Actually a bit bigger than that." Back and forth. 4 prompts. Eating up credits each time. Two minutes of waiting. For a font size. This is the part vibe coding we don't talk about. Like everyone I’ve been trying all the vibe coding tools, and I noticed @bubble solves this in the obvious (yet uncommon) way: You drag the element. You resize it with a handle. You click ‘font size’ and type a number. Done in 3 seconds. The AI Agent handles the complex stuff - database structures, workflows, logic. The visual editor handles everything you'd describe to an AI with the words "slightly", "a bit", "just a little" - because those words should never need to go into a prompt. A product design detail that just make sense when you try it.

What are you building for the #levelupwithbubble challenge from @bubble and @contra I am building... A Hint: Duolingo. Try to guess in the comments

So they built StepRole around a different premise entirely, one where hiring works for the people doing the hiring and the people hoping to get hired, because a process that only serves one side of the table was never really working at all. steprole.com

What struck them was how completely the experience had been designed around one side of the table, leaving the person applying with no structure, feedback, or honest sense of where their candidacy was going.

Yiannis and Constantinos spent years watching hiring operate like a black box — candidates pouring effort into applications and receiving nothing back while employers buried themselves in inboxes trying to manage a process that was never really designed to scale. 🧵

Take control, know what you build. Vibe code without the code with us @bubble

I've done my fare share of thinking outside the box when creating apps on @bubble, but this blows me away. Paul has some crazy skills.

Our biweekly Team Demos have a simple premise: show what you've been building on Bubble, whatever that is. Paul showed up with a fully playable 90s London parking enforcement simulator. Whether SaaS products, internal tools, mobile apps, or retro games — if you can imagine it, Bubble can probably handle it.

@Matt_Graham_ @Grantify_UK 👏👏👏

We helped build a platform that has put £185M into the hands of founders who deserved to get funded. Meet @Grantify_UK. Founders Mat and Luke spent months fighting through a grant application for their own startup. It worked, but the process was so bad they built Grantify to fix it. Grantify makes government funding actually accessible, and turns a brutal, months-long application process into something founders can navigate in days. It has funded over 650 businesses so far. We've been building it with them on @Bubble since day one and still going strong! Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Us, building with the Bubble AI Agent. 🥰

Lovable is missing the real growth or “generation influence” outside of the ARR posts they keep sharing and that’s their users. People actually using Lovable and building companies with it. I mean I don’t even hear about them, not even from Lovable. Where are the founders who built their first product with Lovable. Where is the person who quit their job after launching something with it. Where is the team that shipped a startup in two weeks because of Lovable. Those are the stories people want to see. Lovable is a VC backed company and it seems like they are making good money but the real opportunity is much bigger than posting ARR screenshots. They could literally create their own version of YC just from people building with their product. Imagine a cohort of founders launching companies with Lovable. Imagine showing the best products built with it every month. Imagine the stories of people building their first startup using Lovable. Put those people on billboards. Put them in ads. Put them all over social media. Tell real stories about what people are building. I love MRR and ARR posts. But honestly they hit very different when they come from bootstrapped companies. When a bootstrapped company posts 30k or 100k MRR you know exactly what that means. Someone sat alone building something. Someone shipped a product. Someone convinced real customers to pay. That revenue is survival. When a VC backed company posts ARR growth it just doesn’t feel the same. You raised money to grow. You have a team, marketing budget, distribution of course the numbers will move. The more interesting story is not the revenue chart. The real story is the companies being built with your product. That’s the real influence.

Bubble builders, the Selection Committee wants you. 🫵 The Level Up Hackathon is live on @Contra, and it's running bracket-style: 16 finalists, 4 rounds, one app left standing at the end. Build something that helps people learn, compete, or connect — then make a case for why it deserves to advance. #LevelUpWithBubble
