Cover image for As a social media marketer,
As a social media marketer, I hit the same wall constantly: brilliant small businesses want to create scroll-stopping video content, but they don't quite have the budget for a full-scale monthly marketing retainer yet. Instead of turning them away, I decided to productize my strategy. Just finished building Springboard - a mobile AI Creative Director app that generates un-boring, high-retention post concepts on demand. The Tech & Build: 📱 Built entirely on Bubble’s native mobile builder 🤖 Powered by the Anthropic (Claude) API to deliver visual scripts, dynamic hooks, and a creative twist 💳 Built-in a paywall strategy (after 3 free idea tokens, you get the option to choose a weekly/monthly premium subscription tier to generate endless ideas) The Future Strategy: This isn't just a prototype. I’m taking this all the way to the App Stores!! My goal is to continuously feed it my own marketing data, up-to-date trends, and working hooks into the backend as I learn them, making this the ultimate offer for clients who want elite strategy at a fraction of the cost. Feel free to share your thoughts or any feature ideas in the comments! PS: app name is Springboard and I believe ID is hello-76775

Cover image for Unfortunately, I won't be submitting
Unfortunately, I won't be submitting a project, but I would like to share my thoughts on Bubble as I was using it for a day. I was building a functional app with Bubble AI agent, a GDPR privacy tool - an easy way for humans to ask for their data to be deleted from companies, and a way to track it. The database, generated email formats, the time tracking, all of that. I went in as a builder, but ended up rage quitting, and here's my emotional journey, in case that helps anyone, and also I would just like to vent :) I was very excited for Bubble, because out of all the popular vibe coding apps now (lovable, bolt, replit, cursor and more) they're doing something different. These apps can build out a whole world out of a single sentence and it's all fun and games until you need to fix something in the end, but you're stuck in an endless loop of prompts trying to fix it, but you do not see where the problem is. Trying to read the script, going to Claude or Chat to ask for help, - it gets heated. Bubble leads with control without sacrificing the speed - every change you can see and refine. No code. You see what's happening in front of you. Comparing it to other apps - transparency and control are in the lead - I liked it. However, when I was building - the agent said that it all was there - the companies, the data I fed it, dynamic deadlines - but it wasn't on the canvas. The placeholder data was there, and after 3 rounds of prompts trying to fix that, I didn't get the result I was asking for - the trust is lost. The speed is compromised. Again, I crawl back to Claude to ask what is going wrong. Even a simple change from the AI agent to say "here's what I changed; confirm it landed", instead of "Done!" while it is not, would make me trust it more. Bubble could own a story that is both more accurate and more differentiated: not "a functional app from one prompt," but "the only AI builder that gives you a foundation you can see, trust, and control". The gap between what is promised and what is actually delivered is a gap that won't survive this market. Also, on a smaller note, but also important one - we are living through the dread of AI bubble bursting. I went in looking for tutorials, but all I got was tutorials on the economy crashing. Maybe rebranding the name or being more deliberate about it would be a good move, because as a user I wasn't reading your roadmap, I was looking for some damn tutorials. I'm attaching the screenshot of the project I was working on - maybe I am stupid and didn't see some simple button that fixes this - but also thought it's worth to share the experience. thanks for reading all that.

Sidekit: The Ultimate Freelancer Sidekick The Vision: Freelancing shouldn't be a solo journey. I built Sidekit as a community-driven platform where independent workers connect, share resources, and level up together. Design (Powered by Mobbin): I used Mobbin to study top-tier information architecture, ensuring Sidekit feels professional yet intimate. Aesthetics: I drew from OrbSocial and PillowTalk for a sophisticated "Dark Mode" that reduces visual noise and encourages deep work. Dashboard: Inspired by Numo, I built a minimal checklist dashboard. I kept it distraction-free and added an XP reward system to gamify daily freelance tasks. Onboarding: I adapted PillowTalk’s "Start Here" flow into a guided welcome experience, ensuring new members feel supported the moment they join.
