Base44 Tutorial for Beginners

About this video

This sponsored beginner tutorial (partnering with Base44) builds apps by prompt or from pre-designed templates, with no code required. A quick demo creates a college football tic-tac-toe game — Oregon Ducks versus Ohio State Buckeyes — with score tracking, win streak counters and celebratory win animations, ready to share within minutes. The main build is an invoice management and approval dashboard from a detailed prompt: Base44 generates the app over a few minutes while its work is visible on the left, with desktop and mobile previews. Changes are made conversationally in chat — for example adding how many days each invoice has waited for approval, or changing the whole color scheme — with revert to previous versions, or via Visual Edit to select page elements or text and edit them directly; company logos and documents can be uploaded. Discuss mode lets users plan and brainstorm without applying changes, and chat settings allow choosing the underlying LLM or leaving the default for Base44 to pick. The dashboard is the admin center: Overview (Base44 writes the app name/description and can generate a logo), app visibility (private for the invoice tool, public for the game, with optional login to collect user information), Users (invite people and set role-based permissions), Data (view, edit and export collected forms; Base44 seeds sample invoices), built-in Analytics for growth and behavior, Domains (a free built-in personalized domain, buying a domain through Base44, or connecting an external one), Security (access rules and security checks), Code (view/edit code per section), AI Agent (in beta), Logs, and API for integrations. Integrations connect services such as Stripe, Slack, Notion or Zapier — e.g., when an invoice is paid, Zapier adds its details to a Google sheet. Clicking Publish ships the app; the creator claims this saved thousands of dollars in development costs. All Base44 apps are web-based and mobile-friendly but cannot be exported to the iOS App Store or Google Play at this time. It is free to start, plans include monthly message and integration credits, and the Builder plan is described as the most popular.

Key takeaways

• Build by being specific in a prompt: Base44 generated both a Ducks-vs.-Buckeyes tic-tac-toe game with score/win-streak tracking and a full invoice approval dashboard in minutes.
• Iterate in chat (add fields, change color scheme), revert to earlier versions, or use Visual Edit for direct on-page text and design changes; Discuss mode plans without applying changes.
• The dashboard controls visibility (private/public, optional login), user invites and role permissions, data viewing/export, analytics, security rules, code, logs and APIs.
• Every app gets a free built-in domain, can buy or connect a custom domain, and can integrate Stripe, Slack, Notion, Zapier and others.
• Limits and pricing as stated: web-based and mobile-friendly only — no native iOS App Store or Google Play export — free to start with monthly message/integration credits; Builder is the most popular plan.
