By Devcipator | No-Code and Low-Code Development Agency
We are excited to kick off a brand new training series where we build a complete AI Story Generation application from scratch using Bubble.io, entirely no-code.
This series is designed to walk you through the full process of building a real, production-style app, starting from the design phase all the way to deployment. Whether you are a complete beginner to Bubble.io or an experienced no-code developer looking to sharpen your skills, this series will give you a clear, structured path to follow.
In Part 1, we focus on the foundation every successful app needs before any workflow is built: the Figma design flow, the application structure, and the complete user authentication system.

Why Start With Figma Before Building in Bubble?
A common mistake many no-code developers make is jumping straight into Bubble without a clear plan. This often leads to messy database structures, inconsistent UI, and apps that are difficult to scale later.
Starting with a Figma design gives you a clear visual blueprint of your app before you build anything. It helps you plan your screens, user flows, and overall structure in advance, which makes the actual Bubble build process faster, cleaner, and far more organized.
In this series, we are using Figma to map out the entire Story Generation app before translating it into a working Bubble application.
What This Series Covers
This is a multi-part training series, and Part 1 lays the groundwork for everything that follows.
Covered in Part 1
The complete Figma app flow for the Story Generation app Application planning and screen structure Setting up Signup and user registration Building a Login workflow following best practices Implementing Forgot Password functionality How to plan scalable and clean Bubble apps from the very beginning Understanding how to translate a Figma design into a working Bubble.io workflow
Coming Up in Future Parts
Story generation logic powered by AI Database design and workflows User dashboard and history tracking Responsive UI design across devices App optimization and deployment
Who This Series Is For
This training series is built for:
Bubble.io beginners who want to learn by building a real project No-code developers looking to add AI-powered features to their skill set AI app builders exploring how to combine Bubble.io with AI tools Students learning no-code development from the ground up Startup founders who want to build and validate an MVP without hiring a development team
Understanding the Figma App Flow
Before opening Bubble.io, we start by reviewing the full Figma file for the Story Generation app. This includes every screen the app will need, from the landing page to the signup and login screens, all the way through to the core story generation interface.
Mapping out the app flow in Figma first allows us to identify exactly how users will move through the app, what data needs to be collected at each step, and how the screens connect to one another. This becomes the reference point for every workflow we build inside Bubble throughout the rest of the series.
Planning the Application Structure
Once the Figma flow is understood, the next step is translating that visual plan into an actual application structure inside Bubble.io.
This includes deciding on the page structure, identifying which elements need to be reusable, and planning the database structure that will support the app’s features. Good planning at this stage prevents major restructuring work later as the app grows in complexity.
Building the Signup and User Registration System
Every app that stores user-specific data needs a reliable signup system. In Part 1, we walk through setting up the Signup workflow inside Bubble.io, including collecting the necessary user information, validating input, and creating new user accounts in the database.
We also cover how to structure this workflow in a way that is clean and easy to expand later, such as adding email verification or additional onboarding steps.
Setting Up the Login Workflow With Best Practices
A login system might seem simple on the surface, but there are several best practices that make a real difference in both security and user experience. In this part of the video, we cover how to set up the Login workflow in Bubble.io correctly, including proper error handling and a smooth experience for returning users.
Implementing Forgot Password Functionality
Password recovery is a feature that every production app needs but is often overlooked in tutorials. We walk through how to implement a complete Forgot Password flow inside Bubble.io, allowing users to securely reset their password if they are ever locked out of their account.
How to Plan Scalable and Clean Bubble Apps
One of the most valuable parts of this video is the discussion around planning for scalability from the very beginning. We share practical guidance on how to structure your Bubble app so that as you add features like AI story generation, dashboards, and history tracking in future parts of this series, your existing foundation remains clean and easy to build on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any coding experience to follow this series? No. This entire series is built using Bubble.io, a no-code platform. No prior coding experience is required to follow along.
Why use Figma before building in Bubble.io? Figma allows you to plan your app’s design and user flow visually before building. This saves significant time during development and helps you avoid restructuring your app later due to poor planning.
What will I be able to build by the end of this series? By the end of this series, you will have a fully functional AI Story Generation application built entirely in Bubble.io, including authentication, AI-powered story generation, a user dashboard, responsive design, and a deployed live app.
Is this series suitable for complete beginners to Bubble.io? Yes. This series is designed to be beginner friendly while also offering valuable insights for more experienced no-code developers, particularly around app planning and scalable structure.
Where can I find the Figma file used in this series? The Figma design file is linked in this blog post and in the video description, and will be used as the reference throughout the entire series.
How many parts will this series have? This series will continue with parts covering story generation logic, database design, the user dashboard, responsive UI, and final app deployment. Follow our channel to be notified as each part is released.
