Hello everyone, I'm Emmanuel, cofounder of Bubble. It's great to be back here :-) Today, we're exciting to announce, together with Blockspring, our integration. By integrating our both products, we enable non technical people to build web apps with their any source of data, either from third party services or from your internal back end, without writing any code. Software is all about the data. So as part of making software development simple, we think connecting your Bubble app to your source of data — whether that’s an external API like Twitter, or your own database — should be as easy as clicking a button. This integration lets you add any source of data to your Bubble app. You start by adding the Blockspring plugin in your Bubble app, then authenticate with Blockspring, and can start adding blocks to your apps. You can even code your own, and have custom code run in a code-less app :) You can see some examples of what can be built with blocks. Searching Product Hunt and tweeting the poster, getting a word cloud of wikipedia articles, anything is possible, without any code. We'd love to hear your thoughts, and will be here to answer questions! Thanks for your support!!!

Love this trend of helping less-technical folks build rich apps (see motion.ai). Who do you see as the major competitors to bubble+boxspring? What about bowtie.io, which launched on here a couple days ago?
Emmanuel Straschnov
@afhill from what I see from boxtie, it seems more for developers, and I don't think they focus on web apps, but more static sites. But the overall idea is similar: making creating things easier.

And the real fun -- I mean epic productivity really I do -- begins today. Can't wait to experiment with this for 8-12 hours. Send pizza.

I have nothing but good things to say about Bubble! I'm a non-technical founder & I continue to be able to validate my ideas on Bubble. I used it to start bringing in revenue, get into 500 Startups accelerator & also build side-projects for my startup . Just this weekend I launched a new app (www.artcollectingschool.com) in 72 hours (including sleep) using Bubble. Pumped to check out this Blockspring integration!
