Mastering Code & Plugins In Bubble

Ever felt like you've hit Bubble's limits, knowing there's a solution?

We've all been there:

  • You're using a plugin but it clashes with your design and can't be styled.
  • You want a specific chart, but existing plugins lack features AND look ugly.
  • You need to calculate some numbers, but doing it in a workflow performs too slow.
  • Your app needs a unique calendar experience, but building it in Bubble takes forever.
  • A client requests an analytics integration - but there's no plugin, just a JavaScript SDK.

These are all examples of things we ran into while working on real products that we were actually building on the job. We've spent the last 5+ years figuring out how to build plugins to solve these kinds of problems.

Over that time, we learned that building with bubble is like working with a nice, simple toolbox. It's great for most things, but sometimes you need that one missing tool to finish the job.

Mastering Code & Plugins In Bubble gives you that missing tool.

Learn to code your own plugins. Stop struggling with workarounds and limitations. Instead, build exactly what your app needs, with the perfect fit and style. It's the resource we wish we had.

What you'll learn

The biggest objective of this course is to teach you how to build real plugins that solve actual problems - not just tutorial examples.

We cover fundamentals like:

  • When to use custom code vs. built-in Bubble features
  • Setting up a good development environment and workflow
  • How to actually get the code with the help of LLMs like ChatGPT
  • Understanding the plugin editor and its various features

...as well as hard topics, like:

  • How to search for good libraries to use that work in plugins
  • How to use npm modules and React, using JavaScript bundling
  • How to debug JavaScript issues using LLMs and get the solutions
  • Best practices for dealing with code to keep things performant

Every example we show is open source and accessible for you to inspect in detail.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this course for?

This course is for developers familiar with Bubble who want to understand how custom code and plugins work. While we show you how to get code using AI tools like ChatGPT, building plugins still requires learning JavaScript. It's not super easy, but it's more accessible than ever. Anyone can learn it, but you should know that coding inherently comes with challenges. If you're already comfortable with code, the sections on React integrations, bundling and NPM will be valuable.

Will this course teach me javascript?

This isn't a JavaScript course - it focuses on the complete process of building plugins. As a Bubble developer, you already understand many programming concepts which makes learning easier, but you'll still need to learn some basic JavaScript. We'll show you how to use AI tools to get the code you need, but you'll need to understand JavaScript enough to handle issues in your own plugins. Throughout the course, we'll link to free resources that can help you learn the specific JavaScript concepts relevant to each lesson.

Will I get lifetime access after buying?

Yep. One payment gets you lifetime access to the entire course.

Do you offer discounts?

We want to get this course to as many people as possible. We understand that differences in purchasing power can make it unaffordable in some countries. We also know that Bubble builders come from all over the world - that's part of what makes the community great. If you're in a region where the course price is a real barrier, email youssef@minimum.studio. We'll figure something out.
