Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Bubble is a category-defining no-code platform with massive real-world utility and verified market dominance. While the project itself is a 'Unicorn' scale business (Series A+, millions of users) which would typically score 600+, the submission quality was extremely poor (hyperbolic claims, lazy data entry), resulting in a significant penalty to the Response Quality and Quality Factors. The score reflects the immense value of the platform adjusted down for the lack of professional detail in this specific application.

Description
Bubble is a visual programming tool for the web. Build, launch, and run fully custom, production-ready software applications without having to write a single line of code.\n\nOur customers are entrepreneurs, businesses, and students who want to quickly launch web applications without the high costs and slow delivery times of traditional software. Bubble completely replaces an engineering team: our users have built complete crowdfunding platforms, marketplaces, social networks, line of business applications, and thousands of other use cases, all without writing any code. They've achieved product market fit, got into Y Combinator, and raised multi-million dollar rounds.\n\nIn addition to a visual programming language, Bubble provides a platform as a service: we host and scale customer applications without our customers having to manage their own infrastructure. Customers maintain full control of their applications and can rapidly iterate them as their needs evolve.
