I get asked this question a ton:

"I want to learn @bubble. Where do I start?"

I always suggest starting with as much free content as possible, because there's so much out there.

So here are 10 FREE resources you can use to get started: #buildwithbubble #nocode
1. Bubble's YouTube channel (@bubble)



If it's your very first time opening Bubble, you should start here. What better way to learn about how a platform works than from the folks who built it
2. Coaching No-Code Apps (@CoachingNoCode)

youtube.com/channel/UCTL_m…

This channel helped me solve a lot of issues in Bubble, and I suspect it helped a ton of other builders given how popular it is. They have a mix of short and long-form content for a variety of features
3. Buildcamp (@buildcamp)

youtube.com/c/Buildcamp

I've spent so much time on Buildcamp's YouTube, and I go back to it again and again. Super clear, step-by-step explanations. Also, the video quality is top-notch.
4. Building with Bubble (@LachlanKirkwood)

youtube.com/channel/UCoBO1…

If you're into clones like I am, this is the channel for you. Lachlan walks you through the process of building a variety of different clone systems in Bubble, with super clear explanations.
5. Evan Little

youtube.com/c/EvanLittle

He doesn't seem to post a lot these days, but when I first started, his videos were helpful for my niche problems. Lots of what is discussed/shared is evergreen so worth checking out anyway
6. No Code Assistant (@Heman_shu )
himanshu-sharma.medium.com

This is a blog, not a YT channel.

If you prefer written tutorials, Himanshu has some fantastic content on his Medium. He's actually the first search result for a few things I googled. He breaks things down super well.
7. The Bubble Forum
forum.bubble.io

There's a very high likelihood that any problem you're facing in Bubble has been solved by someone before. There's also a rather high likelihood that there's a forum post about it. If you find yourself stuck, this should be your go-to
8. Bubble Builder (@MartyLindsay_NZ )
bubblebuilder.substack.com

Marty has some really great long-form content on different 'how to' scenarios in Bubble - especially around payments. If you're building a SaaS or any product that will accept payments, this is worth checking out
9. NocodeSaaS (@jamesdevonport )
nocodesaas.app

Speaking of payments and Saas, James has a substack that's all about building SaaS applications. If you're serious about building a product with recurring revenue in Bubble, you should definitely subscribe to it!
10. How To Bubble
howtobubble.substack.com

A shameless plug: I write a newsletter with long-form content on how to build in Bubble. I'll be ramping up the content here once I'm done with the TikTok clone. All of what I share is derived from lessons learned building the clones!
I hope this was helpful! If you have any other resources you'd recommend, feel free to drop them below :)

Also, like and retweet the first tweet in this thread if you found value in it!

You don't need to be a designer to create beautiful apps or websites in @bubble.

I've put together a collection of resources that can help you elevate your app. No design skills necessary!

A thread:
#buildwithbubble
figma.com/community

Figma Community has a wealth of design resources that are shared freely by the community. You can find UI templates, illustrations, mockup files, and more! I've used it a few times, especially for the iPhone and laptop mockups.

If you need illustrations, you can find a collection of free, open-source illustrations in Open Doodles.

Happy Monday Twitter fam!

A lot of folks have made a new year's resolution to get started on #nocode and learning @bubble

To help you hit the ground running, here's a crash course of the different layout types in the new responsive engine (with examples at the end!) A thread 🧵 Image
Last year, Bubble introduced 4 new layout options: Rows, Columns, Align to Parent and Fixed.

These are part of what's known as flexbox - a layout method that gives you a lot of flexibility in structuring web pages and organizing elements.
These options make designing in Bubble much simpler, but they may be hard to grasp at first.

It's first important to understand that these options define how content *inside* a container is organized.

Here's how each of them work:

I started reading 'The psychology of Money' last night.

I loved it for its practicality, its brevity, and the examples shared of the good and bad ways people have treated money.

Finished it all in one sitting.

Some takeaways:
'One of the most powerful ways to increase your savings isn't to raise your income. It's to raise your humility'

Basically, avoid airs and graces, or inclinations to flaunt money.

'The world is filled with people who look modest but are actually wealthy'
'When people say they want to be a millionaire, what they might actually mean is "I'd like to spend a million dollars." And that is literally the opposite of being a millionaire.'

Wealth is more about what you don't spend than what you do.

Hey no-coders,

Here's the thread on how I made my custom icons work in Bubble.

I will note, this process would be easier to do with a plugin, but since I don't know how to build plugins in Bubble (yet) I've figured out a way to do it without a plugin.

#nocode #buildinpublic Image
Preface: As with all my other 'how-to' threads, this will be posted here:

threadsby.me/its/shikuwango…

Pro-tip: If you sign up with your email, I can send these to you directly to your inbox and you'll never miss one :).

Will start sending via email when I reach 10 subs.
1/ Bubble has a set of icons that are native to the platform, and you're more than welcome to use those.

If you do so, this process will be much more straightforward.

However, not all the icons there are great for my use case or my aesthetic, so I uploaded my own.
