Key Insights - 2 Insights

Why doesn't the button do anything after adding it?

Adding a button only places it on the page (see Step 2). You must create a workflow (Step 4) to define its action.

What happens when I preview the app?

Preview mode (Step 5) runs the app as users would see it, allowing you to test workflows and UI.

Full Transcript

The Bubble editor is a tool to build apps without coding. First, you open the editor and add UI elements like buttons by dragging them onto the page. Next, you set the text or appearance of these elements. Then, you create workflows to define what happens when users interact with elements, such as clicking a button. You can preview your app to test these actions in real time. Finally, when ready, you deploy your app to make it available to users. This step-by-step process helps beginners visually build functional apps.
