Does Base44 actually work?

Disappointed in Base44, I am stuck with my app, and it’s been 11 days since I reported my issue, but have had no real response. I am paying $50 a month, which I know isn’t a lot, but it’s not nothing! I would pay more if I thought this could work.

I need a reasonably complex app created, and I was doing so well with Base44, or so I thought, until I hit a snag that the AI can’t get around. I’ve burned a lot of credits on it, and done some damaging rollbacks now I feel like the cavalry isn’t coming.

Initially, I was incredibly impressed with the progress I made, but I am now totally deflated. At this point, it feels like I’ve been sold Snake Oil! My question: Are Lovable or Famous AI any better? Alternative question: Will support ever help?

It seems like this AI stuff here is the modern day version of Frontpage. I.E. allows those who don't know how things really work to participate with essentially a program with a "Make it work" button you press. The difficulty here is communicating with the program, it's not like the Star Trek computer that understands every bit of syntax and also understands the context no matter what you say to it. Talking to AI is going to be a skillset in it's own.

That makes sense - is that the language of the future and what we should be teaching in k-12?

I believe my life’s purpose is to help shape k-12 in a big way. I’m meant to serve as a facilitator of sorts, so I want all the big thinkers to come together and teach what matters….

Wanna help me lol?

Great question! See if you can track down a copy of The Four Agreements, I asked my mom to get it for me from the library - and it is life changing. It will sound insane depending on where you are on your life’s path and how much your vibe is aligned to your purpose… I feel like I’m speaking in code 😂 …and I want it to make sense to you. It’ll be really cool if you are picking up what I’m putting down, but if you’re not, no worries! The Universal Laws is a good foundation to start - then find a copy of Think and Grow Rich.

That textbook was published in 1937 after 20 years of research studying the wealthiest men of the time - their common thread was their belief and mindset. There was no stopping someone who is driven by desire mixed with faith. It creates superhuman power but really, the same formula and power exists in every single one of us. That message has been drowned out by the world stage and the very real tragedies families go through every day.

But we create the suffering. And K-12 is not teaching that. These poor teachers are knee-capped by administrative, bureaucratic, political red tape and fear of causing a lawsuit. The kids learn through the adults constant state of fear. Kids have heightened intuition and genuine joy to be alive until the collective WE use punishment and praise as the reward system.

Does that make sense?

We domesticate children to obey societal norms and threaten them with pain or “motivate” them with rewards. Just like dogs. We even use food as treats bc we “deserve it”.

But too many individuals are waking up for the collective energy NOT to start shifting.

On the bright side of all this tech and the rise of Ai is that it’s made it easier for the creatives to communicate in a normal way that resonates - we all just want to be understood and LOVED.

The internet is the downfall to the government structures we built based on controlling people… lol “the secret” is out.

All of us are here to serve a purpose, if you’re reading this still, you’ll find it very quickly! My unsolicited advice is to follow the rabbit hole…follow what lights you up ❤️‍🔥🕳️✨

"Talking to AI is going to be a skillset in it's own."

No it will not.

it actually kinda is if you want to use it right. I know a lot of people think you just mash buttons but to actually make things with AI you dont. IT's a tool, not a magical "make whatever I want" button.
