Summary

Bubble offers a unified platform for developing both web and native mobile apps, bridging the traditional divide between web and mobile development tools. Unlike conventional methods where web apps run in browsers and mobile apps are installed on devices with full access to hardware features, Bubble allows developers to create both with a single workflow. Web apps typically use technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, while mobile apps often rely on Swift, Kotlin, or frameworks like React Native. Bubble's visual development platform enables users to build without coding, supporting seamless transitions from web to mobile by carrying over backend logic and workflows. The platform also aligns with app store guidelines to facilitate the app approval process and integrates with best practices in user interface and experience design. Bubble's approach to mobile development includes support for native gestures, navigation patterns, and performance-optimized components, making it easier for developers to create apps that feel truly native.
