I was adding Compre Cloze Wordle puzzles for my sixth graders when a notification popped out and informed me that I had run out of integration credits.
This is a long shot but if you don’t mind using a throwaway account to sign up with Base 44 using my referral link, I would get 30 credits to resume my important work with the sixth graders.
Their graduation exam is next Thursday!
Thanks in advance!
What is a Base44 app?
I don't really want to sign up for anything, but can we just zap you to help you pay for more credits?
Vibe coding platform. I've been bombarded with their ads for a year or so now. Their message basically boils down to everyone can make their own apps now.
Was it it easy, @cryotosensei ?
very easy. the trick is just to prompt and make adjustments along the way. so I have made a MCQ app for my boy for English and Science. I have prompted it to add a Search function, a Transfer function, a Buy Me a Cofee button etc etc. you won’t know what you need until you are in the midst of it
no worries! I managed to resolve it on my own.
thanks for wanting to help a fellow educator out haha
did it work?
no. because @pablotwm was kind enough to create his app, I did get 30 credits, which I had assumed would last me for a month or so. but it turned out that those referral credits are not integration credits. I then consulted ChatGPT and realised that my Compre Cloze Wordle had incorporated an AI call because I prompted it to check the answers typed by my students. So I prompted Base44 to take away the AI call:
I ran out of integration credits. Do not call any external integrations or AI APIs. Inspect the existing implementation and make the requested changes without executing the integration So that I can keep creating puzzles
And it responded like this: I'll replace the AI word-check with a free, offline check so puzzle creation works without any credits. Let me look at the current implementation first.
The AI check is the only thing blocking puzzle creation when credits run out. I'll replace it with a free, offline check: a bundled dictionary of common English words plus basic sanity rules.
Done — puzzle creation no longer uses any AI calls or credits: answers are now checked against a built-in offline dictionary of common English words, with basic sanity rules (must contain a vowel, no obvious nonsense) for words not in the list.
So I guess it worked out after all
I created an app too... are you saying it only gave you credits once?
yup only once
I think you must publish your app.
It also said that you have to send a message but I do not know how and at which stage you will be asked to send this message
ok I pressed publish
yes I did receive. thanks for the follow through.
I think those are message credits: * Building/editing your app with Base44 AI — message credits
Okay. well.. I'm going to never touch that account again so good luck with the credz.
PS: can you export your stuff from there or are you fully locked in?
I have a backup copy of my ideation outcomes. don’t worry. can’t be laying all my eggs in one basket!
i just signed up. i read that you had to create something in order to get the 30 credits, so i asked it to make this: https://btcprice.base44.app
hope you got the credits!
I did! thank you very much.
unfortunately those credits are not integration credits, but I figured out a way to keep on building puzzles in my existing setup. thanks for acting so promptly!
The user is asking others to create a throwaway Base44 account through their referral link so they can receive 30 referral credits.
The message uses an urgent story about preparing Wordle-style puzzles for sixth graders and an upcoming graduation exam to encourage people to sign up. It specifically asks users to use a “throwaway account,” which suggests the purpose of the signup is to generate referral credits rather than to genuinely use the service.
I believe this may be an attempt to manipulate Base44's referral/integration credit system. Please review the referral activity and determine whether these signups violate the platform's referral or promotional-credit rules.
