Thanks for the kind words :)

Yes, this distinction will probably remain, but we're trying to push where we need to get back to textual languages. If you need to build a machine learning algorithm, I'm not sure visual tools will ever be the way to go (though i'd love to see this).

But both ways work well together. In Bubble, you'd build your optimization algorithm as a plugin, and then you (and even better, others, non technical colleagues) will be able to use the action you've built visually. The Bubble interface becomes the common language between business, product people and coders.

That's actually very close to how modern game engines with with large teams(substitute designers/artists for product/business) work.

Very cool stuff, kudos.

Yes gaming is more advanced that general purposes applications for some reasons. Let's change that :)

Yeah, I've tried it at a few shops and it tends to be a cultural problem more than a technical one.

It's also really hard to build the right tools. It's very easy to sink 3-6mo into a tool that doesn't get a ton of usage because you either don't have partners on the other side who are invested or didn't solve the right problems.

For it to work right you need a lot of factors to go just right. When it does it's pretty incredible but feels a bit like trying to catch lightning in bottle.
