We’ve been introduced to some of those new features on Product Hunt; Bubble’s integrations for Zapier, Airtable, and Figma all launched in the last year. Like Zapier, Bubble also wants to invest in education through its own content and university partnerships.

Glide 2.0 - Create web apps from Google Sheets (now without Google sheets, too)
Softr 2.0 - Build web apps & portals from Airtable
Noloco - Build custom web apps quickly
Dorik 2.0 - Build websites with unlimited pages without code
