Announcing No Code MBA 2.0

I just rebuilt the entire backend of my learning platform (https://nocode.mba) in Bubble.

TLDR: the No Code MBA app (after users login) is now built in Bubble, while the marketing site remains in Webflow.

Since I use no-code to build and run No Code MBA itself, I wanted to explain what no-code tools I used to build No Code MBA2.0. Hopefully, this thought process will be helpful in your own no-code journey!

What I'm keeping on Webflow

While I switched to Bubble for the No Code MBA app (after users log in), I’m still using Webflow from the marketing site at nocode.mba.

This is the site that new users land on, where you can read interviews, browse the tool directory, and browse courses before signing up.

Webflow is the absolute best for marketing sites because of:

Ease of design
Fast loading
Great SEO

What did I use before Bubble?

Before the switch to Bubble, I ran No Code MBA using Webflow, Memberstack, Airtable, and Zapier, and Circle (for the community).

This is one of the most common no-code tool stacks and works incredibly well for charging users for access to content.

I used this setup to scale from 0 to 1000+ paid users and still recommend it in many cases!

So, why did I switch to Bubble?

Webflow has a limit of 10,000 CMS items. As I scale past 10,000 users, this will be a limitation

I used Memberstack for member management and content gating. This required complex Zaps connected to Airtable to manage data (such as the number of completed courses for users). Managing data became cumbersome over time

Custom features - because the database is integrated with the front-end in Bubble, I can build out just about any feature that I can think of to customize the learning experience.

Would love for you to check out https://nocode.mba and let me know if you have any feedback!

Also happy to answer any questions about the process of building in Bubble or choosing the right no-code tool for your project.
