44. Behind the Scenes of Bubble's Biggest Launch Ever with Nick Carroll

How do you bring a feature as game-changing as native mobile app development to a mature platform like Bubble?

In this episode, we go behind the scenes with a very special guest, Nick Carroll, the product manager who leads the mobile charge at Bubble.

Nick shares the exclusive inside story of their native mobile platform launch—a journey that started years ago as a "when, not if" dream for the founders.

We dive deep into the strategic decisions, the engineering challenges, and the "lightbulb moments" that turned this vision into a reality for hundreds of thousands of no-code developers.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in product management, SaaS, and the future of building software without code.
