Bubble (programming language)

Bubble is a visual programming language and Application Platform as a Service (aPaaS) developed by Bubble Group that enables non technical people to build web applications without needing to type code. Instead, users draw the interface by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas and defining workflows to control the logic.[1] Bubble's vision is to make handcoding largely obsolete.[2]

While it is visual it does require some learning, and can be used to create more advanced functionality than what is possible with template oriented web application builders such as Wix. It is used in schools for education purposes, and by other organizations for commercial purposes.[3][4]

History

Bubble was founded by Emmanuel Straschnov and Josh Haas in 2012 in New York.[5][6]. As of October 2018, Bubble counts more than 200,000 users worldwide. Bubble has been bootstrapped since inception[7].
