As a no code maker, I am always thinking of new ideas that can add value to people and be profitable for me the creator. For about 2 months I have been immersing myself into creating with bubble.io and wanted to do a few projects there.
I was scrolling through LinkedIn the other day when I saw a post about "The Rise of The Fake Commute." It was very interesting to me what this "fake commute" could be about. I read a few lines and I immediately knew what I would build with bubble next.
Fake commuting is the practice of commuting as a part of your routine, maybe to grab coffee, or just to get some fresh air for stress relief for those who are remote/ work from home workers. The practice is highlighted in this article: https://www.citynews1130.com/2020/11/05/fake-commuting-covid-19-pandemic/. This practice is being observed by Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University in Halifax.
I decided to launch fakecommuting.com, a platform where remote workers can upload pics of themselves fake commuting and be viewed by others as a means of mental relief. This platform I built completely with Bubble.io and made it compatible with LinkedIn's API for sign in. I made a video about that process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iup5EbdWM6E&t=133s
I shared the pic above of my fake commute on the morning when I launched the app.
Go ahead and check out the web app here: fakecommuting.com and maybe add a few pics.
