📚 NEW BOOK
Bubble Patterns
The no-BS guide to building Bubble apps that don't break in production.
After years of debugging conditionals at 2am and watching junior devs cry over repeating groups, I wrote down everything I wish someone had told me. Proven patterns, real examples, zero fluff.
What the hell is this?
Every week, I share the shit nobody else wants to say about working in Bubble. The workflows that make you question your life choices. The conditionals that break your soul. The plugins that promise the world and deliver disappointment.
Weekly Articles
Deep dives into Bubble shit that actually matters. No fluff, no corporate speak.
Podcast Episodes
Listen while you're debugging. Same rants, different format.
Real Talk
Sarcasm, swearing, and blunt truths. Your standard Bubble forum but fun.
Still reading?
Look, if you made it this far, you clearly need help with Bubble. Or you're just procrastinating. Either way, subscribe for your weekly dose of reality.
I don't spam. I save that energy for complaining about Bubble updates.
Why the hell does this exist?
I spent 10 years building shit in Bubble. Ten. Fucking. Years. And you know what I learned? That every tutorial says “it's so easy!” until you try to build something that actually matters. Then suddenly you're 12 hours deep in a recursive workflow wondering if it's time to learn real code.
So I started Bubble Therapy to save you from my mistakes. To call out the BS. To share what actually works when you're building real apps with real users who expect real performance. No sugarcoating, no fluff, just the unfiltered truth about no-code development from someone who's been there, cried there, and somehow kept building anyway.

"
Why the f*ck does this conditional work on desktop but not mobile?
"
I just want to loop through a list. Why does it feel like solving a calculus problem?
"
My capacity units bill just hit £200. What fresh hell is this?
"
I've been staring at the debugger for 2 hours and I want to cry
Don't just take my word for it
Real testimonials from people who get it.

Questions you probably have
Will this make me a Bubble expert?
No, but it'll make you less likely to throw your laptop out the window. I share what works, what doesn't, and what nobody else tells you. The rest is up to you.
How often do you send emails?
Once a week. Every Wednesday. Like clockwork. Unless I'm debugging something that's broken my will to live, but that's rare.
Is this really free?
Yep. 100% free. No paywalls, no “upgrade for the good stuff” BS. I might add paid stuff later, but the core content will always be free.
Can I unsubscribe anytime?
Obviously. There's an unsubscribe link in every email. I won't guilt-trip you or send passive-aggressive “we miss you” emails. Leave whenever you want.

Join them before your next workflow breaks
Who's behind this mess?
I started as a traditional coder—spent years normalising databases, following OOP principles, and memorising design patterns like they were scripture. Then I discovered Bubble and realized I could throw all that perfectionism out the window... except I didn't.
Now I put all that nerdy knowledge to good use coming up with ingenious (and sometimes batshit insane) ways to bend Bubble to my will. I've spent years building apps, breaking things, fixing them with duct tape and prayers, then breaking them again in new and creative ways.
I write about it every week because misery loves company. And also because someone needs to say what everyone's thinking but nobody's posting in the Bubble forum.

Questions Your Ego Won't Let You Ask
Why should I trust some rando on the internet?
You shouldn't. But I've spent 3 years and built multiple apps in Bubble, so I've made all the mistakes already. I'm just saving you from repeating them.
Is this actually helpful or just rants?
Both. Every article has actionable tips wrapped in sarcasm. You'll learn AND be entertained. Revolutionary concept, I know.
How much does it cost?
Zero dollars. Free. Zilch. I make money other ways. This is just my therapy and your education.
Can I unsubscribe?
Anytime. One click. No guilt trips. I'm not your toxic ex.

Questions your ego won't let you ask
Why should I trust some random newsletter?
You shouldn't. But I've been building with Bubble since 2015, made every mistake twice, and learned the hard way so you don't have to. Plus it's free, so what do you have to lose besides 5 minutes reading time?
Is this actually helpful or just rants?
Both. The rants are therapeutic, but every article includes actual technical insights, workflow patterns, database strategies, and real solutions. I just refuse to be boring about it.
How often do you send emails?
Once a week. Every Sunday. Like clockwork. Unless I'm debugging a workflow, in which case you might get a bonus rant mid-week.
Can I unsubscribe anytime?
Of course. One click unsubscribe. No hard feelings. Come back when your next workflow breaks and you need someone who gets it.
