Styles tab update, Flusk 2.0 and the ultimate guide to PDFs
The styles tab just got a fresh new look
Bubble are updating their editor interface, one tab a time. First up is the styles tab. A new release that went live on Wednesday includes a much cleaner UI, a large preview window and additional functionality. There’s also now a folder system, that makes it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.
This is encouraging and we’re curious to see what part of the editor is next in line for an update.
New tutorial: The ultimate guide to creating PDFs in Bubble
Creating professional-looking PDFs in Bubble is one of those things that feels like it should be easy… but unfortunately that isn’t always the case! We recently released a detailed video tutorial that shows you how to create a PDF of:
A simple invoice
A complex invoice (including multiple repeating groups)
A custom sales report with headers and footers
Flusk 2.0!
We briefly mentioned this in last week’s newsletter, but the guys over at Flusk have recently released some really interesting updates. Flusk was previously best-known as a security tool, but Flusk 2.0 moves beyond this and also includes:
Error monitoring (including screenshots of a users screen at the time of the error!)
Scheduled app deployments
A visual log explorer
Backups - save and back up your app on a daily basis
Check out Victor from Flusk in this video for full details on what’s new in Flusk 2.0.
Plugin spotlight: Stripe Connect - Marketplace
If you’re building an app in Bubble you’re probably using Stripe to process payments. And if you’re building a marketplace app then you’re almost certainly using Stripe Connect. Our Stripe Connect - Marketplace plugin is the fastest and easiest way to integrate Stripe Connect into your platform or marketplace.
We recently added a new feature that allows you to embed Stripe payment forms in your app (no need to navigate to a Stripe Checkout page):
