SPOTLIGHT: Matt Potgieter

15th of October, 2024

Meet Matt! His journey into the world of no-code development began just two years ago when he discovered Bubble.io. After experimenting with platforms like WordPress and Wix, Matt found that these tools couldn’t deliver the custom features he envisioned. Seeking greater flexibility, he turned to Bubble.io, diving deep into its potential to bring his ideas to life. We are inviting you to read full article below.

What’s your history of discovering Bubble.io and building with Bubble?

I started using Bubble about 2 years ago after experimenting with various website builders. I started with WordPress and Wix in 2021 and after creating normal websites I found that I couldn’t create the custom features I was looking for. I started looking for low-code builders and found that bubble.io was the best for this. From there I went full speed into the learning bubble and built as many projects as possible. ( My first step in the learning journey was actually buying Lachlan’s course with the build templates)

Tell us about the most exciting project that you’ve built or are currently building on Bubble!

One of my passions is learning and teaching and I have seen how impactful AI can be in the learning process. So I started building out an Idea for AI learning assistants that focus on specific course curriculums in South Africa. Have learned so much about bubble.io and also the market itself during this ongoing build. (Revly.co.za)

What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while building your apps using Bubble? What helped you?

The biggest challenge is learning new methods for achieving certain functionality or features on my apps.  Youtube videos have been a core part of how I go about solving challenges or learning about concepts that I could use to achieve certain outcomes in my bubble.io builds.

Any last words for fellow Bubblers?

If you are new to no-code – the task of learning everything might seem daunting but there are so many resources and people out there that are willing to assist. Go for it, you’ll be amazed and what creations you can bring to life! For the experienced bubblers, keep pushing the bar higher with great builds, new style functionality, and sharing your content to keep the community growing.

Personal Note –  I’m a South African entrepreneur, that places high value on education and learning. I’m trying to find and create innovative solutions that empower people and businesses.
