That’s brilliant! I see a match there also if you finally find a way to include self contained server, php and mysql!
That would be very close to what Bubble has.
Im sure it will be, its just a bit of a change from having everything there for you in bubble. Im sure ill get there…hopefully! The server stuff is all so incredibly intimidating, even when you get the right software there are a million options / error massages. Feels like im building a city so i can get round to building my little house - anyway, like you said…time well spent!

I have been thinking for some time prior to posting this but here goes. I personally have been waiting to try Wappler beause 7 days is just not enough for me as others mentioned with the day job and family it will give me minimum time to play with Wappler before the trial ends. While I know if a company is not bringing in money the features and support can not continue and I am sure I am not Wappler wheelhouse market but I do think there is a market for folks like me as the ones using these tools fall into 2 brackets developers trying to speed up development and wannabe coders with day jobs trying to launch an idea on their own like me.
I can see why Wappler has only a 7 day trial because someone going nonstop at building an app could build and export within 7 days so with that… I would recommend Wappler make it so you can’t export the code during a trial. I think a free package like Bubble has would bring a lot of folks to the table maybe Wappler could have a free plan with all the features but don’t allow export of the code and the Wappler branding can’t be removed. While I know that is things that would have to be coded to even create the free package I think it would bring folks to the table that are going to Bubble due to the free plan that they offer.
Again I could be wrong on all of this because heck I can’t even get my app to market yet because I am torn between what platform to go with.
All this coming from a wannabe/hack coder that needs no-code and drag & drop builders to even make a web page

I guess that defines the major difference between bubble and Wappler
Wappler just produces standard HTML/CSS/JS directly, there is no intermediate stage so no generation/ export is needed. That’s why it is so flexible and extendable.

So basically there is really no way to limit someone on a trial then?
Actually we don’t want to limit the users in any way during the trial.
The 7 days trial is just to evaluate and test the options and features which Wappler provides, without any limitations. Of course we don’t expect you to learn a new software and build a whole app in 7 days, but it should be enough to explore it and decide if it will suit your needs.

Hai friend
I moved to wappler from bubble after price changes. I hope the wappler tech support and ex friend from bubble can help me. Thanks
HI @devper and Welcome to Wappler!
We are happy to welcome you to the only coding home you will ever need !
I had the same feeling. As someone who knows literally nothing about web development, databases or computers (only slightly kidding) I kinda thought it was hopeless, but I decided to give Wappler a try. Once I figured it out I discovered its actually quite easy. Obviously a greater learning curve than the set ups of Bubble and Web Flow, but the benefits of controlling all aspects of what you’re building massively outweigh the con of spending one day learning about setting up a database.

Same here. I’m still a complete newbie but I think the one thing that sums it up is that in Wappler you are learning real development. They make building stuff easier than coding it all yourself but you are going to run into problems and you will need to work through them - these solutions apply to real development - not a no-code specific workflow tool that you will never use anywhere else.
If you are playing with an idea and you want to knock up an MVP then using whatever tool you are most familiar with is still the best solution. However if you find yourself tied into that tool and you build your product on it then your business relies on someone else to function and you have to accept that will always be the case.
Getting started on Wappler is tough if you haven’t set up a database or server before - I would strongly recommend following one of the existing set-up (database / server) guides to make your life easier. I didn’t do this and although i’m up and running now I very almost gave up (about 10 times). Start simple, build slowly and it wont be long before you are making actual things for yourself and your product that you can take anywhere if you decide to get extra help in the future.
The forum help is awesome too. I do feel bad for asking so many questions (maybe a newbie area for questions you have a feeling might be dumb would help) - Credit to @Teodor for helping me work out a few issues I was really stuck on

You shouldn’t feel bad asking questions here at all.
That’s why we are here

And Bubble does a wonderful job at that because you can forget about infrastructure(setting up and maintaining).
But once you are passed the MVP you really need to take control of your business and Bubble does an awful job at that right now. If you resume all the posts in the forum the reality is that you are putting your future behind a “trust us” post. And that is very dangerous. Specially since they invited investors to the table(and their board).
With Wappler you just have to follow their promise that they will always do their utmost to provide the greatest builder powered by the community.
Wappler doesn’t have to promise impossible things. And Bubble is.

Yep exactly!
I still love “no code” and i still think its great that anyone can have a go at making anything, hopefully the space continues to grow - especially if some of the platforms are brave enough to give you the option to export your apps!

100%. You’re not just learning to use another “app builder” but you are learning to use development techniques and languages that you may have never used before and will be useful for the years ahead.

Hello @Shuteopengco, I am also from the Philippines. 
The price you pay for the license is nothing compared to what you can do with Wappler.
Really, I have looked everywhere for a Low-Code tool that can help me create something “solid” in a short amount of time and I am very lucky to have come across Wappler (checked out Bubble, Radzen, PHPRad, Scriptcase; but still can’t be compared to the more expensive tools like Outsystems, Mendix, Servoy, and of course Wavemaker).
Just like what people say, you have to invest in something that will be useful for you, and I suggest for you to start with the monthly plan. In any case, you have to start somewhere.
