Rereading my post, it sounds more like a press release for a product that's barely functioning yet. I got ahead of myself, sorry!
To be brutally honest about Base44 specifically, I'm genuinely impressed. I burned through yesterday's and today's five prompts, and the amount I accomplished is remarkable. As a former web studio owner, I understand development timelines and scope — what would normally take week was done in day.
Of course, there are quirks and limitations, but for MVP development? Even the free tier can produce something incredible. The AI actually understands context across sessions, maintains code consistency and can handle complex feature requests without breaking existing functionality. There is a secret, though: I am, of course, familiar with developing applications and sites. I also clearly know what I want, although I allowed myself to add a lot of unnecessary things. The most important thing is that I used Claude AI to help me create prompts for Base44.
The real magic isn't just the speed — it's that non-technical founders can now prototype complex ideas without hiring entire development teams. That's genuinely revolutionary.
It's still early days for the actual Shegby app, but as a tool, Base44 is already making a big difference. It's changing the way I think about building software entirely.
