A smol archive of Weeekly's Bubble chat messages, built with love (and a lot of help from Daileees 🫶)
check it out at rubble.yvas.me
after Weeekly disbanded, Bubble gave fans a window to export their chat history
with the members before it was gone forever. rubble takes those plain-text .txt
exports and runs them through a multi-step Python pipeline:
- fan's own messages are removed entirely
- any mention of the fan's username is replaced with
[y/n] - message types are detected (text, photo, video, sticker, live, audio)
- timestamps are parsed and converted to KST
- each message gets a nanoid
- output is chunked into 1000-message JSON files for the frontend to load
raw .txt export from Bubble

sanitize.py — removes fan messages, detects types, converts timestamps
↓
sanitized_chat_{member}.json
↓
chunk.py — splits into 1000-message chunks with metadata
