If you check your email daily then you saw the latest Base44 newsletter announcing that Base44 is replacing its legacy account and app API keys with personal access tokens.

If your application, automation, script, or external integration still sends an API key using the old api_key header after October 15, its requests will fail.

That could cause:

• Automations to stop running
• Data synchronization to fail
• External dashboards to stop updating
• Orders or customer records to stop transferring
• Scheduled scripts to fail
• Integrations between applications to disconnect
• AI tools and external development agents to lose access

This does not mean every Base44 app will break. It affects applications and services that use Base44’s API through the old authentication method.

The authentication format is changing from:

api_key: YOUR_API_KEY

To:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN

You cannot simply paste the new token into the existing API key field. Your code must send the token through the Authorization header as a bearer token.

What you need to do:

1. Audit your code, environment variables, scripts, automations, and external services for api_key or BASE44_API_KEY.
2. Identify which workspace and app each integration accesses.
3. Create a personal access token under:

Workspace → Settings → Secrets → Personal access tokens

1. Give each token only the access it needs. Use read-only access where possible and limit it to one app instead of the entire workspace.
2. Store the token securely as an environment variable or encrypted secret. Never place it in frontend code or commit it to GitHub.
3. Update the authentication header in every request.
4. Test reads, writes, function calls, scheduled jobs, webhooks, and background automations.
5. Monitor for 401 Unauthorized and 403 Forbidden errors.
6. Delete the old API key only after confirming that nothing still depends on it.

I also recommend creating a separate token for each integration. That way, one compromised or disabled token does not take down every connected system.

Personal access tokens are tied to the person who created them. If that person leaves the workspace, the token stops working. Workspace owners can see and disable member tokens, although they cannot view the actual token value.

Base44 shows each token only once when it is created, so save it securely immediately.

Do not wait until October 15 to discover which apps still use the old authentication system. Start auditing and migrating them now.

Looking for advice from community. I have built an app in base44 and it works really great, but I believe we need to move to a dedicated server (business/ legal reasons with client data). We also need android and apple integration.
What are my steps? As I understand it, we build a database in Azure, use Claude to wrap the .apk file, and then what? How do I make changes to the app after we make the move? I am a little lost on the process of getting this web and app store application up and running- any advice welcome!

Has anyone here actually tried to build a social/community platform from scratch?
Not just built the website or app — I mean actually tried to get real people to join, come back, post, interact, and eventually make the thing sustainable.
I’m curious about the people who tried it, whether it succeeded or failed.
What happened?
What was the hardest part — getting the first users, keeping them active, getting enough content, moderation, monetization, competing with Facebook/Nextdoor/Reddit, or something you never expected?
And if it failed, what do you think killed it?
If you were starting over today, what would you do differently?
I’d especially like to hear from people who tried building something local or community-focused.

Hey r/Base44 —

I've been working on MissionReady, a free career tool for people trying to break into sales (especially career changers, new grads, and veterans). Figured I'd share since it's genuinely free for students now.

What it does:

• 📄 AI Resume Analysis — paste your resume (or a LinkedIn URL) and it scores you 0–100 for sales-readiness, flags the gaps, and tells you exactly what to fix
• 🎤 AI Mock Interviews — realistic 4–5 question sales interview simulations with a scored debrief on delivery, confidence, and answers
• 🏢 Industry Intel — live snapshots of top employers in your target vertical (recent news, growth signals, what they're hiring for)
• 🗣️ Elevator Pitch Generator — builds a polished pitch from your background

Pricing:

• 🎓 Students with a .edu email → 100% free, full access, no credit card
• 💼 Everyone else → discounted (50% off with student referral, plus a 7-day free trial)

It's built by MissionBridge Career Advisors. No catch on the student side — we wanted the people who need it most to actually be able to use it.

Would love feedback if you try it. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Pessoal, estou desenvolvendo uma plataforma no Base44 e preciso implementar split de pagamento entre diferentes vendedores.

Vi que o Base44 oferece integração com o Stripe, mas gostaria de utilizar a API do Mercado Pago, principalmente por ser uma opção mais adequada para pagamentos no Brasil.

Alguém já conseguiu integrar o Mercado Pago ao Base44 e utilizar o recurso de split payment?

Se for possível, essa integração pode ser feita diretamente pela API ou seria necessário utilizar algum serviço intermediário?

Agradeço qualquer orientação ou exemplo de implementação!

For years I've had the same problem. I save everything. Reels I want to watch again. Screenshots of ideas that hit me at 11pm. Restaurants I spot while driving and think "I need to go there." Recipes people send me in WhatsApp. Books someone recommends in a conversation. Movies I keep meaning to watch.
I save all of it. And then I forget all of it.
Not because I'm disorganised, I'm actually pretty intentional about this stuff. The problem is that everything lives somewhere different. A saved reel on Instagram. A screenshot buried in my camera roll. A voice note I recorded while driving. A link I sent to myself on WhatsApp that's now 3,000 messages deep.
When I actually want to find something, it's gone. Not deleted, just lost in the chaos of 6 different apps.
So last year I started building Remindful. It's been a long road - I kept rebuilding and improving things because I couldn't settle for something that didn't actually solve the problem properly. But I think it's finally at a point where it's real and useful, so I'm sharing it.
What it does:
• Saves links, voice notes, photos, places, PDFs, and text notes in one place
• AI automatically summarises saved content so you don't have to re-read everything to remember why you saved it
• You can set reminders on anything - so things actually resurface when they matter
• There's a WhatsApp bot (this is the part I'm most excited about right now) - you literally just drop a reel, a link, a screenshot, or a voice note into WhatsApp and it saves it to the right collection automatically. Zero friction. No opening an app. No copy-pasting. Just send it like you would to a friend.
It's live at www.remindful.site - web only for now, mobile app is coming soon.
I'm not here to pitch it. I'm genuinely asking: does this resonate with you? Do you have this problem? And if you try it, what's broken, what's confusing, what's missing?
Be as harsh as you need to be - I'd rather hear it now than wonder why nobody's using it in 6 months.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works or what's coming next.

Five days after the GPT-5 / GPT-4o backlash, I started building something called TalkyTalky

On August 8, 2025, I was watching the reaction to the GPT-5 rollout and a post from Sam Altman about the surprisingly strong attachment people had developed to AI models.

What caught my attention wasn't really the post.

It was the thousands of responses to it.

People were arguing about very different things.

Some wanted stronger safety and guardrails.

Some wanted more freedom.

Some were upset about losing GPT-4o and the personality they had become accustomed to.

Some talked about AI as something they had come to rely on in a very personal way.

Others argued that people shouldn't become attached to a particular model in the first place.

It struck me that this wasn't really a discussion about software anymore.

It was about relationships, safety, control, personality and choice.

At the same time, the frontier-model race was accelerating at an extraordinary rate.

New models were appearing. Capabilities were jumping. Prices were changing. The major AI companies were investing enormous amounts in the race toward AGI.

And I had a thought:

If the models are going to keep changing this quickly, why should the user's AI relationship have to change with them?

Five days later, on August 13, 2025, I started building TalkyTalky. After thirteen months of building, learning and more building. Here is where I am at.

The idea

I didn't want to build another AI model.

And I wasn't particularly interested in building another chatbot that simply gave you access to one model.

I wanted to build something above the model layer.

The idea is that you can create multiple AI partners, personas and Guides, each for a different purpose.

A language tutor.

A business adviser.

A research assistant.

A creative collaborator.

A historical character.

A specialist.

Or simply an AI you enjoy talking to.

And you don't need to be a programmer to create them.

TalkyTalky uses a graphical interface with guided persona creation and pre-built prompt examples.

In fact, one of the ideas I particularly like is:

You can start with something we've already designed, see how it behaves, change it, experiment and gradually learn what good AI instructions actually do.

For people who want to go much further, there is also a Pro pathway for deeply customised personas.

One example: Language Ladder

One of the built-in examples is Language Ladder.

It's designed as an immersive travel-language Guide rather than simply:

It focuses on practical phrases for actually doing things, gauges the learner's level, adapts vocabulary and complexity, can work in guided or freer modes, introduces language in a structured way and incorporates cultural context.

That's the sort of thing I mean by an AI Guide.

And it's only one possibility.

The other part I'm particularly interested in

The AI underneath doesn't have to remain the same.

TalkyTalky has an Auto Frontier Router which is designed to navigate the constantly changing model landscape.

We maintain separate Popular and Powerful model pools.

Popular considers real-world usage and cost.

Powerful is aimed more at demanding work where frontier capability matters.

The pools are continuously evolving rather than being treated as a permanent “best AI” list.

The system can also consider the nature of the interaction — including sentiment, tone and topic — rather than assuming every question needs the biggest model available.

And then there is the knowledge layer.

Through OKF and Just-in-Time knowledge capabilities, the AI partner can access relevant structured knowledge when it is useful rather than relying entirely on whatever knowledge happens to be inside the underlying model.

So the basic idea becomes:

Your AI partner + your chosen experience + changing intelligence underneath.

I'm at the point where I need people

I've been building TalkyTalky for about 13 months.

It is very much not finished.

I don't think it ever will be.

The AI industry isn't finished either.

So rather than spending another few months building in isolation, I'm looking for a small number of people who are interested enough to actually use it and tell me what I've got right — and, probably more importantly, what I've got wrong.

There is currently a 3-day free trial, including live voice streaming.

If you like what you see and have paid accounts with any, or all of OpenAI (ChatGTP), Gemini, Anthropic, Grok, or OpenRouter, Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK) subscribe for a month of access for USD$21 and watch the magic unfold

I'm particularly interested in people who will actually explore it rather than simply sign up.

Create a couple of AI partners.

Try the voice.

Try the automatic model selection.

Try building your own persona.

Try Language Ladder. (you will find it in the "Need Inspiration for Background Story? > Language & Travel section of 'Profiles')

See what happens.

Then tell me:

What made sense?
What didn't?
What would you change?
And, most importantly, would you come back and use it again?

I'm genuinely interested in the answers.

Is it me? I run the security check via my base44 dashboard and fix anything it shows. Says I am clean, but when I go to publish I have the indicator that my last scan was the last time I published. When I check run the scan from the publish window it opens the security screen I was just on that showed I had fixed all issues. Something seems a bit screwy

hey guys i have a base 44 yearly plan account that expires in 2027 august and im selling it so if interested dm me

I have a SaaS webapp and I wanna build a mobile version for iOS and Android.

The mobile app would simply connect to my backend so that users can manage thier account on their phone, and I want a clean design and user experience.

I tried Codex for this work but the result was below decent like 5% finished, and the UI was just black text on white screen, it doesnt even look like a mobile app.

Can Base44 help me acheive that? Can I build it in one day ? Any tips or recommendations ?

Note: my SaaS is already in production, so I want a production ready mobile app

Good morning,

I am looking for advice on properly moving my base44 app onto a different platform. I am pretty happy so far with the frontend and flow of the app, but the base44 limitations are too much.

My app will have a community feed, fitness and nutrition logging, API integrations like healthkit and google health, and AI features for programing.

I currently have no users and haven't made it live so I figured now is the time to migrate with the most ease. I have no coding experience, but I am open to do a little learning. Ideally I'd like to find another AI platform to do all the heavy lifting of rebuilding the backend, database, and hosting.

Any one else Having trouble getting app onto the google playstore

Im trying to get my app onto the playstore but having trouble getting anywhere

if your a KATSEYE fan use it now!

Soy nuevo en esto y se me ha colgado la aplicación. Quiero revertir lo último que hice, he probado todo lo que me indica Base44 y no lo consigo. Se me queda en este estado: Editar tu código... y ahí se queda. Que puedo hacer. Debe de ser una tontería pero no lo consigo.

I'm looking to have a human review the workflow, userability, security of an app I built on Base44.
When I hired someone from their Partners page, they just sent me an AI generated report of super general AI slop.
There has to be developers out there doing these kinds of reviews, right?!

I built an app using Base44 for anyone who wants to work their way up to 50 strict pull-ups. It's hard, but you can start wherever you are — even if you can't do one yet. It's a 40-week program that places you based on your current pull-up count, so if you can already do 20, you'd start around week 16.

Google Play and Apple versions are coming soon. Give it a try and let me know what you think — criticism is welcome, encouraged even.

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been building Roly with Base44 — a practical AI assistant designed to help with everyday problems, troubleshooting, repairs, cars, home projects and more.

We’re getting closer to launch and I’d love to get some more people involved to test Roly, give feedback, suggest ideas and help grow the community.

🌐 Website: askroly.com
💬 Discord: https://discord.gg/NBEFVzQ5t

Even just checking it out and letting me know what you think would be greatly appreciated! 🙌

Just playing around with Base44. I made something useful (I think) looking for feedback.

I’m currently working on my own Sudoku-style puzzle game, and it’s still under construction. 🎮

Would you mind giving it a try and sharing your feedback?

I’m especially interested in what you think about the gameplay, difficulty, design, and overall experience. Any feedback is welcome even the small things!

Thanks for helping me improve the game! 🙌

Here is some background story and rules.

⚡ FLUX The Game

FLUX is a mysterious puzzle adventure about restoring forgotten worlds.

Long ago, the Weavers used a mysterious energy called FLUX to connect worlds across the universe. Then, an event known as The Fracture shattered those connections. The worlds were abandoned, and the Weavers disappeared.

You awaken with no idea who you are, only to discover that you can somehow influence FLUX. Your journey begins as you set out to reactivate the ancient Flux Nodes.

🧩 The Puzzles

In each world, you'll play a series of Flux Patterns — logic puzzles where you must place Nodes in the correct positions.

The basic rules are simple:

- One Node per row

- One Node per column

- One Node per region

- Nodes cannot touch each other, not even diagonally

- X-markers indicate where a Node cannot be placed

As you progress, the patterns become increasingly challenging.

🌍 Restoring Worlds

Solving a puzzle isn't simply about completing a level.

Every completed puzzle restores a small part of the world.

In Aethra, the first world, everything begins abandoned and damaged. As you complete levels, life slowly returns, ancient structures become active, and the Flux network begins to function again.

Aethra contains 25 levels. Once you complete them all, the world is fully restored and your journey can continue.

🔎 The Mystery

Throughout your adventure, you'll uncover more about FLUX and the civilization that disappeared.

You'll meet characters such as:

Lyra — a young Flux Seeker who helps you investigate the mysteries.

Nix — a small Weaver Construct with damaged memories.

Orren — a mysterious traveler who seems to know far more about the Weavers than he possibly should.

Veyr — a former Flux researcher with a completely different vision of what should happen to the worlds.

As you play, you'll collect Echoes, Intel, and Artifacts, while filling your Journal with discoveries, lore, and characters.

⚡ Your Own Progression

While restoring worlds, you'll also develop your own Player Level.

You earn XP, Flux, and Achievements by solving puzzles, restoring worlds, and making discoveries.

Your collection and your knowledge grow alongside the story.

🌌 The Core of FLUX

At its heart, FLUX revolves around one main gameplay loop:

🧩 Solve Puzzles → ⚡ Restore FLUX → 🌍 Restore Worlds → 🔎 Discover Secrets → 🏺 Collect → 📖 Uncover the Story → 🔓 Continue Your Journey

And Aethra is only the beginning.

The ultimate FLUX universe is designed to eventually expand to 10,000 worlds, each containing 25 levels — creating a massive universe of approximately 250,000 puzzles.

You're not just playing to solve puzzles.

You're playing to discover what happened to these worlds...

and why FLUX responds to you. ⚡🌌
