// Phase 2/2
It’s been couple more days of nonstop Bubble building since Phase 1/2 where I laid out the framework for the private events app aka my failed idea from 2017.
Designing, building workflows, setting conditions.. it’s no walk in the park, but dear lord, I’m STOKED!
Things that took months back then are coming together in days, not to mention that I can actually build it myself.
Still a lot to do but it’s getting REAL!
p.s In 1 week I’ve already surpassed the stage that took me nearly a year in 2017.
you did a great work on this
Appreciate it! :)
As for project Preview, can someone help me with how can I share it?
This is what Bubble AI says:
"For this mobile project, the Preview URL by itself is not a general‑purpose share link. To share during development, you either add collaborators (Bubble accounts) or go through BubbleGo / TestFlight / Play testing flows."
Really love all this screens, wpould be lovely if you shared your case study also was the bubble ai used to scalfold or you building everything from scratch
I'd love to but I haven't found a way to share Bubble native mobile app prototype (it's not a webapp).
Potential ways of viewing the prototype:
1. Inviting collaborators to my project via email.
2. Via Bubble Go or Test Flight setup.
As for Bubble AI, an initial prompt got me...
The efficiency gain here is the real story. It shows not just how far the tech has come, but how much your own building process has evolved since 2017. Great work on the private events app framework!
Very true! Thank you Rana for your kind words. :)
This is really cool
Thanks Jude :)
The time lapse makes it look so easy and I feel like seeing this work is what gives people a perception that by coding is so easy but you absolutely nailed it. I know it's not that easy and it's pretty insane.
Omg, you’re so right, Daniel! And, you’re clearly speaking from experience. As one of the top creators here who I think many people look up to when imagining what’s possible, without fully grasping the effort, hours, and sacrifices behind those mind-blowing results of yours.
...
Wow this is Amazing.

🚨 I'm making the full switch from Upwork to Contra — and honestly? I already get why everyone says it hits different.
Fellow copywriters and freelancers, be real with me for a second.
How many of you are just... tired? Tired of platforms skimming big cuts off the top, burying your proposals under a hundred others, and sending you clients who treat great writing like it's worth five bucks and a thank-you?
I lived in that loop longer than I should have. Endless revision rounds. Rates that kept sliding lower. Watching generic AI output land jobs that genuinely deserved real human persuasion behind them.
So I stopped waiting and went all-in on Contra.
No platform fees eating into my income. Creative clients who actually give a damn. A community that talks about craft — not just output volume.
I'm still early in this. No massive wins to shout about yet. But the difference in the quality of conversations alone? Night and day. The founders showing up here are a completely different breed.
Here's what I'm focusing on right now to build real momentum — take whatever's useful:
1. Value posts over spray-and-pray proposals. One genuinely helpful post sparks better conversations than 50 applications nobody opens.
2. My profile is my sales page — and I'm treating it like one. Clear services, strong samples, and a bio that actually sounds like a person wrote it. Contra's discovery feed rewards authenticity. Generic doesn't cut it here.
3. Leaning hard into warm, trust-building, conversational copy. Because that's still the one thing that consistently beats pure AI in 2026 — and clients are starting to feel that gap more than ever. They don't just need words on a page. They need copy that makes someone feel something and then do something.
Whether you're based in Dubai like me or freelancing from a coffee shop on the other side of the world — Contra feels like it actually levels the playing field, as long as you show up with intention and keep showing up.
Here's the honest 2026 take: the copywriters winning right now aren't fighting AI. They're using it as a tool while bringing the warm, persuasive, results-driven voice that no model has fully figured out yet — and probably won't for a while.

Excellent insights and Welcome to Contra! From my experience, I got on Contra 10 months ago and there is no going back. All the best!
Title: “Floating Crystal City – Surreal 3D Scene”
Description:
I created a unique 3D scene in Omma that no one has made yet: a surreal floating city at sunset, with translucent crystal-shaped buildings, bioluminescent rivers flowing through the air, and mysterious floating lanterns. Gravity-defying bridges connect the structures, creating a fantastical, cinematic atmosphere. Fully detailed, immersive, and visually stunning—built to push the limits of creativity in Omma.
