Hello Bubble world,
My name is Odi
I Need help I’ve been tinkering around with Bubble learning from scratch for about a year and change. I think I understand some of the core principles now, about how to instruct and program bubble to do things. I’m trying to do the simplest form of a dating app with a swipe left and swipe right feature like a tinder. As Im going on my journey Im confused about a couple of things maybe community can help, will try to explain as clear and simple as I can.
So imagine tinder or hinge. user’s sign up via FB or email and then they are on the app. We’ll come back to this in a moment.
Picture the Main interface pg of a tinder or hinge. The page in which there is a photo of your potential match in the middle, and down below or on the photo itself you can swipe left for NO and swipe Right for YES
I’ve used buttons under the photo to indicate these choices YES PLEASE ( right swipe) and NO THANKS ( left swipe)
Assume the design is fine. Programming both buttons and the photo is where im struggling. Let me explain
In my understanding what we call in bubble APPLICATION DATA is where all the data IE users who sign up for my app will be stored
I’ve set up my data types as follows: Male User, Female User, Male Date, Female Date
In the sign up process new users are asked to define if they are male or female, and based on how I’ve programmed the app, they will be saved in the database as a male user or a female user
The goal is to have the photo’s change based on who is the current user at the time, sometimes it will be boys looking for girls, and sometimes it will be girls looking for boys.
I created " Date" to define the photo on the main interface, Follow me. So data wise when a user signs up, he/she is also a potential “date” for someone else when they are not the current user.
How do program or communicate to bubble that basically :
A. When current user is male, " date" should be female, and if current user is female, “date” should be male
2nd question. It seems that the only way to tell bubble to pull up new “dates” as a user flips through the potential “dates” is by making a repeating group on a page, but requires user to load themselves onto this repeating group? I thought that based on the data settings ive created bubble will save all signed up users accordingly. But it seems for what im doing I have to have a “list” a repeating group essentially that functions as a source for the app to pull up or “search for” dates? To vague? Please help me explain it better. Im getting close but I;m going crazy trying to figure out how to explain exactly what I want to bubble!!
Any help or help me explain it better would be greatly appreciated!!
Best
Odi
