Bubble introduces a new way to build a web application. It’s a point-and-click programming tool, for web and mobile. No prior coding experience needed. Bubble is a visual programming language for web and mobile applications. Bubble lets you build applications without typing code; it’s an alternative to Ruby-on-Rails or Django. Bubble hosts all applications on its cloud platform. Technology is taking over everything, and they think it is a travesty that programming is still a niche skill. They want to live in a world where the average person can create technology, not just consume it. They don’t believe the path to that world is teaching everyone how to code. Why should humans learn to talk like computers? Let’s build computers that can talk like humans. Their mission is to destroy the distinction between building technology and using technology, by making programming as user-friendly as your favorite app. They build tools that empower people to be first class citizens of the digital world.
