Hello Bubble Team , @Alex Ginsberg @Isabel Feuerstein ,
I'm writing to ask if it would be possible to submit my Bubble Challenge entry using the Preview link instead of a deployed application link.
I've completed my app along with all the other submission requirements, including the AI baseline proof, demo video, and written description. The only thing preventing me from submitting the deployed version is that deployment requires upgrading to the Starter plan.
I understand that Bubble offers a free trial, but unfortunately I haven't been able to activate it because it requires a valid credit card. I'm an international student from a developing country, and I don't currently have access to a working credit card that Bubble accepts. Because of this, I'm unable to deploy my app, even though it is fully functional in Preview mode.
This challenge means a lot to me. It has been an incredible opportunity to learn Bubble, challenge myself, and build something I'm genuinely proud of. I invested a great deal of time and effort into creating my project, and it would be heartbreaking if I couldn't participate solely because of a payment requirement that I'm unable to meet.
Since the Preview link is fully functional and allows judges to use the application, I wanted to kindly ask whether you could make an exception and accept the Preview link for my submission.
I completely understand if this isn't possible, but I would be incredibly grateful if you could consider my request. Participating in this competition is far more important to me than the prizes it's an opportunity to showcase my work, learn from the community, and compete alongside other builders.
the preview link should be fine as long as we can still interact with your project and see that it was made in bubble!

SkillSwap — The No-Money Freelance Economy
What if you could get a website built, a logo designed, or learn to code — without spending a single rupee? That's SkillSwap.
SkillSwap is a skill-for-skill marketplace where people trade talent instead of money. A designer offers brand identity work in exchange for React development. A writer offers SEO copywriting in exchange for a logo. Zero payments. Zero middlemen. Pure human exchange.
Category: Marketplace
How I built it:
I started with a single prompt to Bubble AI — and let it generate the foundation. Pages, data types, core UI — all AI generated in minutes. I then took full creative control: designed a premium editorial system using Playfair Display typography, warm paper tones (#efe7d2), and coral accents (#ed6f5c). Every page heading has custom CSS animations built inside Bubble HTML elements. The Skill Board, Post a Swap form, Request Swap popup, and success flow all work end to end.
What works:
Browse 11+ real skill swap listings across 6 categories
Filter by Design, Development, Writing, Marketing, Video, Photography
Request a swap with a message — confirmation popup included
Post your own swap listing in under 60 seconds
AI suggested matches shown after every submission
The idea behind it:
Millions of people have skills but no money to hire. SkillSwap removes the financial barrier entirely. Talent becomes the currency. This is the future of collaborative freelancing.
See it. Experience it. Make your first swap.
What a concept and design I really love it
RoomVibe — Social Interior Design Platform
Built for the Bubble "Prompt & Circumstance" Hackathon.
RoomVibe is a social platform where users design virtual rooms in 2D and explore them in immersive first-person 3D. Furniture stores can list their 3D models directly on the platform, and users place real products in their rooms before publishing designs to a community feed.
How I built it:
Started with Bubble AI — one prompt generated the entire foundation: authentication, community feed, user profiles, likes, saves, and an Explore page.
From there, I collaborated with Claude to extend what Bubble couldn't do natively. Claude wrote a full drag-and-drop 2D room editor with wall snapping, furniture resizing, and height control — embedded as a custom HTML element. Claude also built the Three.js 3D first-person viewer, where you stand inside your room and rotate 360° with mouse and keyboard.
Categories: 🛒 Marketplace + 🤝 Social/Community
Tech stack: Bubble (AI-generated base + manual workflows), Custom HTML/JS, Three.js, Bubble Data API, GLB 3D assets generated with Freegma/Hunyuan3D.
nice work! don't forget to share your live app link too!
Built ScrollStop AI in 48 Hours for the Bubble Hackathon!
Hey everyone! 👋
As content creators, we all know the absolute biggest challenge today: How do you stop someone from scrolling past your video in the first 3 seconds? The "Hook" completely decides whether your short-form video goes viral or gets buried by the algorithm.
To solve this massive bottleneck for creators, I built and launched ScrollStop AI from scratch in just 2 days for the global Bubble Hackathon! 🏆
👉 Live Project Link: https://alidanial697-64610.bubbleapps.io/version-test?debug_mode=true
🔥 What is ScrollStop AI & How It Empowers Creators?
ScrollStop AI is an intelligent, multi-modal companion designed to analyze your Shorts, Reels, or TikTok videos before you publish them, predicting and optimizing user retention.
Key Features (Fully Functional):
AI-Powered Hook Scoring: Upload your video and instantly get a data-driven score from 0-100 indicating your hook's strength.
Visual & Audio Feedback: The AI evaluates your video's pacing, text overlays, lighting, framing, and background audio to offer actionable, real-time improvements.
Viral Toolkits: Automatically generate high-converting viral captions and tailored hashtags optimized for discoverability.
History Tracking Dashboard: Creators can look back at all past video analyses to track their improvement and consistency over time.
The Tech Stack (Under the Hood)
To make this platform incredibly fast, secure, and scalable within a tight 48-hour window, I designed the following architecture:
Frontend & Backend: Built entirely on Bubble for seamless, lightning-fast No-Code execution.
Media Infrastructure: Integrated Cloudinary for rapid, secure video hosting and processing.
AI Engine: Implemented advanced multimodal AI pipelines to read directly from the media storage inputs and generate deep analytical insights in seconds.
🎯 Why This Project Matters
Instead of spending hours guessing what works or dealing with the painful trial-and-error of social media algorithms, creators can validate their content strategy instantly. It saves time, maximizes retention, and completely eliminates guesswork before hitting "Publish."
The app is fully functional and live right now! Since this is my official submission for the Bubble Hackathon, I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or suggestions in the comments. Let's help creators stop the scroll! 🎬✨
