Known Issues

• Ordering discrepancies: Sometimes, the Bubble JSON doesn't reflect the visual arrangement in the editor so the generated code may be wrongly ordered.
• Naming conventions: You have to properly label or rename all your elements for smoother code conversion.
• Style limitations: There’s currently no support for Bubble's style libraries or components.
• Color definitions: Define colors explicitly (e.g., use #ffffff instead of "Primary color").
• Font consistency: All converted code currently uses a single font so for now, your application font won’t be reflected in the conversion

How To Use

• Go to the settings page of your Bubble application, under the General tab you’ll find the option to export your application. This will download a file on your system.
• Open and copy the content of the file then paste into the converter.
• You’ll see a list of pages with supported elements that have been identified from your app in a dropdown. Choose the one that you will like to convert.
• Run the conversion and view the converted code in a sandbox.

Feedback

If you would like to give feedback about a conversion, you can:

• Submit an issue with details of your application’s JSON, the page you tried to convert and the sandbox link.
• Send me an email
• Record a Jam or a Loom video

Things To Note

• Use sample applications that have simple pages including only the elements currently supported by the converter.
• Conversions that encounter issues may be logged sometimes to help identify and fix problems.
• Only the Bubble JSON shared by you is accessed, it does not have unlimited access to your live application.
• Burst is still in its early stages, so expect some imperfections.
