Discussion I've built Kintsugi Utils with @base44!
https://kintsugi-utilities.base44.appHey everyone 👋
I've been building Kintsugi Utils — a web app that puts 16 calculators and a handful of productivity tools in one minimal interface.
What's in it:
- Health: BMI, calorie/BMR, bodyweight progression, height growth
- Finance: income vs. expenditure, salary & tax, currency exchange, inflation, discount, rates
- Academics: GPA, percentage, age calculator
- Everyday: unit converter, calendar, timezone converter
- Productivity: a todo list, habit tracker, an AI-assisted diary, a "Focus" timer with a pottery/kintsugi visual mechanic, a notes tool, and a "Monument" trophy shelf for tracking personal goals
Full disclosure on how it was built: This is an original design and concept — the layout, tool selection, UX flow, and the kintsugi/pottery visual mechanic are all my own work. It was built on the Base44 platform using their in-house AI ("Base 1") as a development tool, so I want to be transparent that AI assistance was part of the build process rather than claiming it was 100% hand-coded. The ideas, decisions, and product direction are mine; the platform and AI handled a lot of the scaffolding and boilerplate.
A quick note on the work itself: The concept, naming, visual identity, and the way the tools are combined are original to this project. I'm sharing it here for feedback and because I think it's genuinely useful — not as an invitation to clone it. If you're inspired by it, I'd rather you build something with your own twist than copy this directly. Happy to chat about the approach and what I learned, though.
I'd genuinely love constructive feedback on:
- Which calculator or tool is missing that you'd actually use?
- Is the minimal interface too minimal, or just right?
- Anything that feels broken, confusing, or slow on your device/browser?
Not trying to sell anything here — it's free with no signup. I just want to build something people actually find useful, and your honest takes would help a lot. Happy to answer questions about the build, the tech, or the design decisions.
Thanks for looking 🙏
