How to Build a Tinder Clone With No-Code using Bubble

Video Course

Ready to save 3-5 months learning how to build your app from scratch?

Learn how to build your own Tinder clone without touching a single line of code. This course covers the step-by-step process of creating a dating app that’s ready to launch. Utilizing Bubble’s no-code platform, it explains the exact workflows you’ll need to replicate Tinder’s product. This updated tutorial was created using the new Bubble flexbox responsive design engine.

Note: Throughout this tutorial, we’ll be using a plugin to create our Tinder swiping feature. As you’ll see in the course outline below, I’ve created two separate versions of the Tinder home page module. One module will use a free version of the plugin, while the other will use a paid version. This allows you to create a version of the app, regardless of your budget.

Learn from an experienced Bubble developer & coach who has helped multiple founders build successful apps without code using Bubble.

In 2020, I worked directly with the Bubble team to write their ‘How-to build’ blog series. Each installment shared written instructions on how to recreate popular products using their no-code tool. To simplify the building process, I’ve created my own video series to help guide you in a more engaging way.
