Higlights
- 🤖FlutterFlow AI Gen is now live for all users
- Bubble had its first developer summit where a lot of new stuff was introduced (roadmap, agency profiles, official bubble certification…)
- Post processing and direct database access for XANO users
Bubble
For a long time it haven’t been super exciting to see new features in Bubble. There are usually small improvements for existing functionalities. But we are super excited about features which current team is working on such as new Data grid element.
Things that have been released in June 2023:
- Privacy rules tweaks – Previously, there were certain situations when constructing expressions of the form “X’s Y’s Z” where users could see field Z based on a privacy rule given them access to X; they now also need explicit access to Y
- Public alpha for V4 of Bubble API – which upgrades to Node 18 (AWS is planning to deprecate Node 14)
- OAuth 2.0 User-Agent flow update – In the plugin editor and API connector, users connecting a login service using OAuth 2.0 User-Agent flow can now add optional parameters to the Login Redirect URL.
Highlights from Bubble Developer Summit. Source: HERE
- New agency profiles – Bubble introduced new agency profiles page. Also each agency can now create a page to highlight their work
- Agency tiers – There are 3 tiers: gold, silver, bronze, and all active agencies have been given a tier to start. (New agencies will be placed in their first tier later this fall.)
- The official Bubble Developer Certification – A new exam for professional Bubble Developers to stand out. Currently it is only available for beta testers and will be rolled-out in upcoming months
- Roadmap – Bubble announced what they are focusing on this year: Enterprise Readiness (SSO, SOC2, Performance optimization), Developer Experience (Reusable elements, Logic updates), Bubble + AI
XANO
We are excited by some of long awaited features and improvements, mainly support of asynchronous operations (execute business logic after API response) and direct database access.
Features released last month by XANO.
- Post-processing support added via function stack after API completion
- Direct query support introduced for Scale plans and above with a new query wizardUndo/redo functionality implemented within the spreadsheet editor
- Enhanced security with login activity available on all accounts and instance activity managed through the compliance center addon
- Various improvements including copy as curl support, new timestamp filters, additional lambda libraries, frontend upgrade to Angular 16, and a more user-friendly variable selection process. Several bug fixes were also implemented, addressing issues related to auto-selecting text type, bookmarks/multiple tabs, CSV file parsing, and multi-select/copy-paste functionality.
Flutterflow
FlutterFlow AI Gen is now live for all users. Long awaited functionality is finally available for all users. It’s like a Github copilot but for no-code. Super excited to build mobile apps even more effectively with no-code and AI! Here’s a summary what is available with FlutterFlow AI Gen
