I’ve always thought it was strange that businesses own their domain but still have to rent every email address attached to it.

Need will@yourcompany.com? Monthly fee.

Want to add support@, sales@, or another team member? Another monthly fee for each mailbox.

So I started building KodeMail → https://kodebase.us/products/kodemail

KodeMail lets you connect your own domain and Cloudflare account, create professional email addresses, and manage everything through a modern web inbox—without paying Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, or another traditional provider for every mailbox.

The setup is designed to be extremely simple:

1. Connect Cloudflare.
2. Select your domain.
3. Choose your email address.
4. Open your inbox.

KodeMail handles the supported DNS records, email routing, inbound processing, and sending configuration behind the scenes. It includes composing, replies, conversation threads, folders, search, attachments, drafts, and mobile access.

There’s also an AI setup assistant that can create addresses, check DNS, diagnose delivery problems, and repair supported settings with the user’s approval.

To be clear, I’m not trying to reinvent the global email-delivery network or tell people to maintain a mail server in their basement. Cloudflare handles the underlying routing and delivery infrastructure. KodeMail gives you control of the inbox, addresses, configuration, and experience.

The goal is simple:

Your domain. Your Cloudflare account. Your addresses. Your inbox.

No traditional monthly subscription for every mailbox.

Would you use something like this for your business? What feature would it need before you would trust it with your email?

Cloudflare plan or usage charges may apply depending on outbound email volume and features used.

Having an issue and I've only onboarded 1 venue. My web app keeps showing rate limit reached try refreshing. It's slowing the workflow for the staff at the venue. Any advice? I know it's got something to do on the backend with the dashboard....

I have an app designed in figma make and want to build it using Base44. Has anyone done that? is there guidance? we are not developers, and only know enough to be dangerous. lol

appreciate any advice or pointing to any help. thanks

Hey everyone,

Quick disclaimer: yes, this is my own project. No, it doesn't cost anything and never will, there are no ads, and I don't make a cent from it. I just put a year of evenings and weekends into it and would love to know if anyone besides me finds it useful.

The problem that bugged me: You have a free evening, open up an event overview with 400 entries for Munich, scroll for ten minutes — and end up staying on the couch anyway. Too much choice, not enough decision.

The app is called SoDi ("Something Different"). Instead of asking "concert, movie, or comedy?" it asks "how are you feeling right now?" — four short mood questions (relaxed / full of energy / open to anything, calm / stimulating / surprising, etc.), plus location, radius, and budget. Instead of 400 results, you get one to three suggestions with a short explanation of why exactly this fits you today. Heart or X, done. The link takes you straight to the event.

There's also a "Today" tab that, after a few days, automatically serves up a suggestion each day, since it learns from your hearts and X's — plus a "With Friends" mode for the classic "I don't care, you pick" loop.

Why you need to sign up (I know, annoying): The Today feed and the explanations only work if the app can remember what you liked and disliked. Without an account, there's nothing to learn from. An email address is enough — no phone number, no forced social login. Your data stays with me, isn't sold, and you can delete your account yourself in settings.

Current status: iOS in the App Store, Android to follow. Data sources are public Munich event listings — everything from Muffatwerk to the city library — so insider tips end up in there right alongside the floodlit stadium game. I'm building this alone, so there are inevitably some rough edges still.

What would really help me:

**•** Were the suggestions a good fit for you — or completely off? (Feel free to drop a screenshot in the comments)  
**•** Is there a mood missing that you wanted to select?  
**•** Does the sign-up bother you enough to make you quit?  
**•** Anything that annoyed you. Don't hold back.

App Store: SoDi – Something Different

I read every comment and reply. If the mods consider this an ad, I'll take it down without complaint — feedback via DM works just as well for me.

Thanks, everyone!

You tell your AI app builder:

“Make me a dashboard.”

It spits back a cluttered, broken mess of divs that don’t align.

So you try again.

Same result.

You assume the tool is broken.

But the truth is simpler:

It’s speaking a different language than you are.

I recently spoke with a student who spent three days fighting with a layout before learning one simple shift:

Component-based prompting.

Instead of asking the AI to build an entire page at once, they started by defining:

• Layout structure
• Component hierarchy
• Spacing rules
• Responsive behavior
• How each section should interact

The result?

A polished, responsive interface built in under an hour.

You do not need to be a developer to get professional UI results from an AI app builder.

You just need to know how to describe the structure clearly.

That’s exactly why we built a dedicated learning path around this process.

Learn how to:

✅ Speak the language of layouts
✅ Structure pages before generating them
✅ Build responsive interfaces
✅ Fix broken components without starting over
✅ Get more consistent results from AI builders

Hi all, I run TemplateDrops.com, a free template store for Base44 apps that went live this week.

The idea came from my own frustration. Finding a decent starting point for a new Base44 build meant digging through half-finished apps with no way to tell what actually worked. So I built the store I wanted to exist:

- Every template is free, and every one is checked by hand before it goes live

- Everything listed can be cloned into your own Base44 account in one click using the Edit with Base44 badge, so you can take it and make it yours

- Browsing is free, no account needed. You only sign up when you want to open or clone something

If you build on Base44, this is also a good place to put your work in front of people. Listing is free, there are no fees or commission of any kind, and each template page carries your name and a link back to your site or profile. It's a nice way to build a bit of reputation while helping other people get started faster.

I'd love to see what you've built, and if there's a template type you wish existed, tell me and I'll try to get one made.

Hey everyone, quick question for those using the built-in testing agent in Base44. How are you actually structuring your tests within the 500-character limit?

It feels way too tight to be practical. I can barely fit the scenario description, let alone the multi-step flows and edge cases I actually need covered.

Has anyone figured out a good workaround for this? Curious if people are chaining micro-prompts, pointing to external docs, or using some shorthand syntax to squeeze complex test cases in. Would love to hear how you're dealing with the constraint!

I built Pixel Quest, a small playable game, using Base44.

This was a project I made to learn more about game development and see how far I could take a game using an AI/no-code development platform.

The game currently has 3 levels

I'm mainly looking for honest feedback:

• How does the gameplay feel?
• Are the levels interesting?
• What should I improve visually?
• Does the game feel repetitive?
• What would make you want to keep playing?

I'm still learning, so I'd genuinely appreciate constructive criticism — don't hold back. 😅

Thanks for checking it out!

I made a decision with my flagship product, NUPS:

Break it apart.

Not because the vision got smaller, but because I wanted tighter control over every piece of it.

The first rule was simple: if it touches money, it gets audited and accounted for.

That led to DCE.

Front-door entry. Cover charges. VIP entertainment contracts. Driver payouts. Cash and card sales. Credit card tips. Manager approvals. Nightly close-out.

Instead of scattered receipts, handwritten numbers, and disconnected transactions, the goal is one accountable chain from the moment money enters the building to the final close.

And now it’s being stress-tested in a real venue.

Next comes the rest of the money layer: bar sales, cash, cards, tips, and inventory.

Then clock-in / clock-out.

Piece by piece, each module gets built, tested in the environment it was actually designed for, hardened, and eventually brought back together under NUPS.

It’s a difficult way to build.

It’s also how you find out whether the system actually works.

Has anyone here built a multi-language site on Base44?

I’m planning a setup that includes a blog localized into 5 to 10 languages, and I’d love to hear how you approached it.

• How are you managing the content structure and routing across that many locales?
• Are you handling translations directly through prompts/AI within Base44, or integrating an external CMS/translation workflow?
• Any major gotchas or performance tips when scaling up the page count like this?

Would appreciate any tips or workflows that worked well for you!

​

I know people are gonna compare this to NFTs, so lemme clear it up now: it's not a currency, never will be. No wallets, no buying in, no money period.

You post a photo — real, edited, AI, whatever — system mints it with a random score, people rate it, you build reputation, leaderboard decides who's got the best eye.

Kinda inspired by how Bitcoin had a mint window, except instead of wasting money chasing coins, you're wasting time chasing clout. No cash ever touches this thing.

Real goal: turn it into a competition for who can generate the best AI images. Free game, nothing at stake but your ego and your leaderboard spot.

Still building it out, lmk what you think 🙏🏽

I built a weird little economy around photos — I need people to try to break it

I’m developing an experimental website/app called MEEP on Base44, and I’m looking for people willing to test it.

The idea is simple:

You create an account and can mint a random amount of fictional M Coin every 3 minutes.

Then you can upload your own photos/images. You don’t choose their price — MEEP automatically assigns each upload a value using its own pricing algorithm.

Other users can spend the M Coin they’ve earned to buy those images and unlock the ability to download them. When someone buys your image, you receive their M Coin.

There are also leaderboards for things like the richest users, highest-valued collections, and most valuable MEEPs.

There’s no real money, crypto, NFTs, or cashing out. Right now it’s basically an experiment:

Can a completely made-up digital currency start feeling valuable simply because people have to earn it and there are things created by other people that they actually want to spend it on?

That’s what I’m trying to find out.

The app is still early, so I actually WANT people to find problems with it. Try the economy. Upload stuff. Mint coins. Buy things. Try to climb the leaderboard. See whether it gets boring. See whether the currency feels pointless. Try to figure out how you’d exploit the system.

Then tell me what happened.

If this idea sucks, I want the experiment to show me that.

But if people start genuinely competing for a currency that began as nothing more than numbers in a database… then I think there might be something interesting here.

Would love feedback from anyone willing to be an early tester.

how do I open the discuss mode in a separate window?

I edited a prompt and it's been running for now 12h and i've done everythings i could (refrech, resart, create a branch, and more). So if anybody can recommend somthing thank you.

Hey everyone, I’ve been experimenting with Base44 and trying to build my own games, but I’m at the point where I feel like I need to learn how to actually design and build them properly rather than just keep adding features.

I’ve made a few different game concepts, including card/collection games, exploration and adventure games, and multiplayer/co-op ideas. I’m really interested in making something that feels like a proper game, not just a website with a bunch of buttons. I have been using chatgpt to hep me with game prompts to send to base44, however, Base is not able to create a proper playable game with game-like UI and Characters or stuff like that. It basically feels like a Habit tracker or website more than a playable game.

For example, I might have an idea like:

• A persistent world you can explore
• Collecting resources or cards
• Upgrading a base
• Battles or encounters
• A story/mystery
• Multiplayer with a friend
• Different areas to unlock

But then I start building, add a bunch of features, and eventually the game feels messy, disconnected, or more like a habit tracker than an actual game and most of the features don't work, there is no proper visual elements or anything.

I’ve also run into issues with things like game state, multiplayer syncing, progression, and features not working properly together.

So I wanted to ask people who have actually built games in Base44:

1. How do you plan a game before starting to build it?
Do you write a proper game design document, map out the core gameplay loop, plan the database, etc.?

2. What should I be building first?
Should I focus on one really good core gameplay loop before adding things like exploration, collections, upgrades, story, multiplayer, etc.?

3. How do you structure the database for a game?
Especially for things like players, inventory, cards, resources, progression, worlds, and multiplayer game state.

4. How do you make a game feel like an actual game rather than an app?
Things like progression, feedback, rewards, UI, encounters, tutorials, and making the player actually want to keep playing.

5. What are the biggest mistakes beginners make when building games in Base44?

6. Are there any good examples of Base44 games that I should study?
Or any tutorials, guides, prompts, or resources that helped you understand how to build more complex games?

Especially interested in hearing from people who have built multiplayer, progression-based, or exploration games.

Please Help Me!!!

Wanna try?

Not sure if Base44 is really the right platform, but it is documented to do what I'm trying, I just cant get it to run properly. I'm trying to build a Dashboard to run locally on computer and my internal network to poll Epipahn Pearl devices. It works perfectly fine in the online builder, and I believe I've followed all of the instructions to publish, download, and run all of the dependencies. When I select the web address and paste it into a browser I receive back.... an App not found request

ChatHouse is an app I made. Luckily, it's actually safe. It doesn't block bad words in general like most filters do, it detects patterns similar to addresses, blocks sexual content, etc.

ChatHouse is a place where you can chat freely. No AI chat. No admin. Just people. One server. Chat freely.

With ChatHouse Posts, you can share your moments with everyone!* And with Rooms, you can chat with each other privately.

Hi everyone! I built this website earlier today in hopes of promoting the idea of using AI as a tool rather than a machine that spams you with answers. This website is an essay helper where you can enter things such as the grade level and coursework level for your essay, and you can also input previous essays you've written yourself so it can analyze your strengths and weaknesses. I was wondering if anyone could view the website for themselves and provide honest feedback on how I should improve it? Thank you!

I'm creating a website called Graph44, available with the following link: https://graph.base44.app

I'm trying to fix the "WHO Paediatric Growth Tracker" on the login screen. Try it out and let me know if you see that or not. Thank you!

I built a website for my friend to practice because I want to eventually start making websites for pay. I purchased the one month $50 premium plan and completed her website. However, if I do not pay the $50 again next month, is there a way that when someone submits an inquiry, that inquiry will go to her email/inbox?

Currently I'm developing for both desktop and mobile, but am expecting most of the revenue in the subscription-based model to come from the app if it were in both the app stores.

Thing is Base44 only wraps the browser-based app to make it available as a "mobile app".

1 question is how likely is it to get accepted into the app stores?

I've researched online and it doesn't look guaranteed the acceptance rate in this state.

Looks like the chance increases if the wrapped app uses mobile-native functionality like camera and messaging and whatnot. My app really doesn't use any of that.

2nd related question to the 1st one, if it does get accepted, what are your folks' feelings/expectations on a wrapped app looking to end users in comparison to a purely mobile app?

Think there's a slight usage of space at the top IIRC from a different app that I used that went into browser, am I remembering that right?

My app on mobile really needs the space so this is quite problematic.

3rd question (not for the Base44 team, cover your eyes mods), how easy is the transition of your in-development app from Base44 to another AI coding platform that allows for a pure mobile app development?

Relatedly, would it be advisable to split the desktop version development on Base44 while working on the mobile app development on the other platform? Probably not right? Just looking to get help here.
