Bubble surface inventory — 2026-08-12

Field Value
Workplan CSOC-WP-0001-T01
Live product host https://coulomb.social (Bubble)
Rebuild host https://app.coulomb.social (Railiance)
Sources Public HTTP, Bubble /api/1.1/meta, design extract 2026-08-09, INTENT/SEO copy
Not available this pass Bubble editor access, Data API types (empty public meta), production DB export

1. Platform identity

Item Value Provenance
Bubble appname coulomb GET /api/1.1/metaapp_data.appname
Domain coulomb.social meta + DNS
App version (live) live meta app_data.app_version
CDN / file host 13a55be71f3a6a4c9ea356833df823c4.cdn.bubble.io HTML + SEO image URLs
Development path /version-test/ (robots Disallow) robots.txt, HTTP 200
Public Data API types empty (types: {}, no get/post) meta 2026-08-12 — API not exposed for inventory
{
  "appname": "coulomb",
  "app_version": "live",
  "domain": "coulomb.social",
  "types": {},
  "get": [],
  "post": []
}

Implication: lossless data inventory requires Bubble editor export or an authenticated admin path — not the public Data API.

2. Product intent (marketing surface)

From Open Graph / SEO extract (docs/design-extract/coulomb-social-seo.json):

A tool to brainstorm, discuss, refine implement and promote ideas.
A social network for building stuff and influencing how stuff is built.
A marketplace for challenges, methods and solutions.
A platform to monetize curiosity.

Brand title variants seen: Research | Coulomb, Index | Coulomb, An Ideas Come To Life Community!, Coulomb Social.

3. Public / semi-public pages (HTTP probe 2026-08-12)

Path HTTP Title / notes
/ 200 Index | Coulomb — main entry (Bubble SPA shell ~17KB HTML)
/vw_pages 200 Research | Coulomb — primary authenticated content surface (design extract probe)
/version-test 200 Index | Coulomb — Bubble development version
/reset_pw 200 Reset password | Coulomb — Bubble built-in auth recovery
/login, /signup, /spaces, … 404 No conventional REST-style routes; Bubble uses app pages / params
/api/1.1/meta 200 App identity only; no types
/robots.txt 200 Disallows /version-test/

Bubble routes content via internal page names and pg_chunk/<id> URLs rather than clean public paths. Design extract crawled 7 routes (index + 6 pg_chunk/* pages) under an authenticated Playwright session (docs/design-extract/PROVENANCE.md).

Design-extract routes (authenticated crawl)

Route Role (inferred)
/ Landing / index shell
/pg_chunk/1767965374100x901547861536145400 In-app content chunk (Research family)
/pg_chunk/1784305925912x322414739506593800 content chunk
/pg_chunk/1784904857383x503270614975381500 content chunk
/pg_chunk/1785501127011x363256181345746940 content chunk
/pg_chunk/1785501151364x921456713843343400 content chunk
/pg_chunk/1786106348475x662489469743530000 content chunk (+ spacing token delta)

Session probe documented as /vw_pages titled Research | Coulomb.

Gap: human-readable Bubble page names (editor “Pages” list) and full navigation graph are not in the extract artefacts — only token diffs per chunk URL. Next inventory pass should export page list from Bubble editor.

4. UI surfaces and components (from design extract)

Signal Observation Rebuild mapping
Primary surface Research / pages workspace Space detail + markdown pages (ADR-0002)
CTA verbs content, favorite, format, filter, add, note Feature candidates for cut (T03)
Material icons content_copy, favorite_border, filter_list, add_circle_outline, note_alt, … App chrome icons
Forms 10 textareas, 6 inputs in crawl sample Authoring / filters
Stack signal Bubble (+ webflow heuristic noise) Rebuild is Django, not Bubble
Client libs in page marked, highlight.js, clipboard.min.js Markdown-oriented UX already present in Bubble

Visual system is fully captured under docs/design-extract/ (tokens, DESIGN.md, preview). Do not re-extract for inventory unless pages change materially.

5. Content model hypothesis (spaces / pages → rebuild)

Prefer spaces / pages / markdown-shaped content for migration (workplan guidance + ADR-0002).

Bubble concept (hypothesized) Evidence Rebuild target
Research / vw_pages workspace Title, extract probe Space + pages/*.md in Forgejo
Page / chunk (pg_chunk ids) 6 chunk URLs in extract One markdown file per page slug under content_root
Rich text / markdown rendering marked + highlight.js on live HTML CommonMark + sanitized HTML in app
Favorites / likes CTA verb counts Later social feature; not required for content MVP
Filters / lists filter CTA Space list filters later
Binary assets Bubble CDN file URLs assets/ in Forgejo repo or object store later
Users / members Bubble account system + reset_pw NetKingdom OIDC Members (done path)
Tenancy Single Coulomb community today tenant:coulomb instance

Confidence: medium for “Research pages ≈ space content”; low for full data-type graph until editor export.

6. Workflows (partial)

Workflow area Status Notes
Member signup / login Live on Bubble Rebuild uses NetKingdom; Case B residual CSOC-IN-0001
Password reset /reset_pw Platform-owned on rebuild
Page view / research /vw_pages Core product path
Content create/edit Inferred from textareas + content CTAs Rebuild: edit in Forgejo (T05 path)
Marketplace matching Marketing claim only Feature-cut candidate (T03)
Monetization Marketing claim only Out of v1 unless T03 expands

Backend workflows (API workflows, backend triggers) are not inventoriable without Bubble editor or API workflow listing.

7. Integrations and external services

Service Role Rebuild ownership
Bubble.io hosting App runtime, DB, CDN Exit target
cdn.bubble.io Images / static files Migrate assets off CDN at cutover
Cloudflare (on Bubble CDN path) Image resize (cdn-cgi/image) Not required on rebuild
highlight.js (cdnjs) Code block styling Optional in app CSS
marked (jsDelivr) Client markdown Server-side markdown in Django instead
clipboard.js (Bubble CDN file) Copy UX Optional
(unknown) email provider Bubble account mail NetKingdom mail path for registration
(unknown) payment Monetization claim Not observed publicly

8. Data types (blocked)

Public meta returned no types. Expected classes (to confirm on export):

  • User / User profile
  • Space / Project / Group (name TBD)
  • Page / Chunk / Document
  • Favorite / Follow / Membership
  • Challenge / Method / Solution (marketplace — optional)
  • Message / Comment (if present)
  • File / Image references

T02 owns dump + mapping once export is available.

9. Inventory completeness

Area Completeness Next action
Public hosts & meta high refresh if domain changes
Visual design system high already in docs/design-extract/
Named Bubble pages list low editor screenshot/export
Workflows low editor Backend workflows list
Data types & fields none public Bubble CSV/JSON export or API key
Content corpus size unknown export pages → markdown rehearsal
Member count / PII volume unknown export under privacy rules

Aligned with stage-1 cut (docs/capability/stage-1-cutover.md):

  1. Members → NetKingdom JIT / assisted transfer (no Bubble passwords)
  2. Spaces + pages (Title, Abstract, Visual + markdown body) → app metadata + Forgejo
  3. Page copy / transfer support data as needed
  4. Memberships beyond tenant-wide defaults
  5. Favorites / marketplace / monetization → later (not stage 1)
  6. Bubble workflows → rewrite only if product need returns (out for parity)
