Isn’t learning Bubble.io putting all of my eggs in one basket?

Well kinda...

When you learn a particular library (in coding) or a proprietary tool (in “no-coding” or “low-coding”)— there is ALWAYS a degree of skillset “lock in”.

So don’t make unfair judgments when every skill set is in the same boat!

But not really

The skills you learn through building an end-to-end digital product on Bubble.io are 100% transferable to other tools.

There are some great emerging competitors to Bubble out there. They all accomplish similar things to Bubble in similar ways.

So if you ever need to, transferring to another tool will be a faster process than learning the first tool.

What is transferable?

Beyond practical skills — how to do this, how to do that — most of the things that make me successful as a Bubble developer are completely transferable:

How to think about any digital product, end to end.
How to have empathy for the user.
How to work within a product team.
How to create documentation.
How to structure a database.
How to structure an application.
How to scope a feature or project.
How to price a feature or project.
How to communicate with a client (whether it’s a boss, an internal client, or an external client of my business)
How to test and make testable software
How to organize logic to be maintainable
How to think about the risks of taking different approaches.

Momentum Academy

After 3 years of building products in Bubble, we know that the skills outside of Bubble are just as important as the skills of using Bubble (if not more important).

Our 8-week academy program teaches BOTH:

Bubble skills
Product building skills

Both are necessary to succeed.

It will take your career as a no-code software developer to the next level, no matter what tool you use.
