We initially had this one.
Is it better?

Love the problem that @jphaas1 & @estraschnov are trying to solve. Would love to hear about some uses so far of the platform.

I'm surprised they don't show any real-world examples of apps/sites built with Bubble. I'm naturally skeptical of these "WYSWYG" builders but this could be fantastic for prototypes or simple products. Stamplay is similar.

Check out the "What our users have built" section on our homepage... we link to a couple client sides including http://rippleconcerts.com/, http://tyled.co/, http://kindthread.com/, all of which were built by people with zero programming experience (a couple harvard business school students and a person in Switzerland who found us online)

Actually @rrhoover http://rippleconcerts.com/ was built on the platform.
Josh Haas
A couple not-yet-launched sites that demonstrate some more use cases: http://expertservices.askwedding..., http://bubble.is/site/vino247_ma...

@jphaas1 Ah! Sorry, I missed that.... it's 5:40am and I haven't had my coffee yet. :)
Josh Haas
@rrhoover Haha I know the feeling, no problems :-)

Side note - much prefer an actual video compared to the canvas animation on the homescreen. I like scrolling when I get impatient...
Miles Matthias
@estraschnov definitely not a content issue, just like being able to scroll ahead since I'm a developer and don't like the long explanation :)

My problem with services like this is paying per user, especially when it hits more than a $1000 month. I can see people using it for a quick MVP and then costing out doing their own dev for a second version and seeing if its more effective. Want to play with it when I get a chance, but that's my 2 cents.

@SacBookReviewer .. I think the non technical users wouldn't see as much of an issue with it. my .02

@BlendahTom You may be right. There may be a sweet spot between the unable to figure it out crowd and those that know how to get something developed that services like this will work for them. I am interested in playing with it. Always like to see new ways to develop.
Josh Haas
On the pricing, keep in mind that when you're running an app at scale, you're paying for server infrastructure, an operations team, developers, etc... even a two-person team is a lot more than $1000 / mo

@jphaas1 was the bubble website built using bubble?
Josh Haas
@lee94josh of course! :-)

@jphaas1 I'm looking forward to playing with it. Trying to get some time this weekend to catch up with a batch of test projects. (Just got back from a 3 day short pre-honeymoon trip. Downside to marrying your work partner is you both have a hard time getting time off to enjoy it.)
