Bubble has released an update that allows users to create plugins for the platform, which can be used by others. These plugins can add various features such as API connectivity, new elements, and background services. Users can build private, open-source, or commercial plugins, with different types of plugins available, including API-based plugins and headers plugins. The plugin system is designed to allow users to extend Bubble in any way they want, with the ability to write custom elements and server-side logic. Anyone on Bubble can create plugins, which can be tested and published for others to use. Once a plugin is published, it will be accessible through the Add Plugins box in the editor. The platform also introduced new features such as dedicated hosting plans, an audio recorder element, date and number range types, and UX improvements in the Editor.
