I've been getting absolutely bombarded by those annoying Base44 AI site building ads. I think it's important to let people know that if the AI part wasn't enough to drive you away, Base44 is a subsidiary of WIX, an Israeli software company you should be boycotting if you're not already (see below.)

I find that Base44 ad (“it’s app to you”) so fascinating.

Normies don’t WANT to build apps! You’re selling a vision of the future that remarkably few people want to inhabit!

listen i know the AI ads are trying hard to normalize a lot of things but if a coworker turned to me and said "i just built a budgeting app in base44" i would probably roundhouse kick them in the face

It's so disheartening to watch this play out.

"The end result is that organizations are actually leaking private data through vibe-coding applications"

Base44 has gone from a rapidly-growing favorite within the vibe coding community to being acquired by Wiz for $80M, all in just six months with eight employees.

All in all, it's a "crazy f***ing journey so far," in the words of its creator Maor Shlomo.

Here's how it all happened 👇

pasted that prompt into Base44 and watched it build the actual site. not a template I had to force to look like me. the real thing

I’ve been seeking vibe coding success stories that aren’t just stories of companies excited about being able to lay off or hire fewer developers.

This sounded promising but the headline is misleading. It’s an 8 employee company that vibe coded a vibe coding platform that sold to Wix.

אני אומר שיהיו עוד כאלו כי אני עובד כבר על האייטם הבא. 2400 איש חשופים, כולל אלו שביקשו ספציפית סודיות. התגובה שקיבלתי, בגדול? אחי אני לא מתכנת אחי השתמשתי ב-base44.
לפחות הוריד מהר. אבל את הבאקט (מאגר קבצים) לא הצליח לסגור כי אין לו מושג מה זה באקט בכלל.
אנחנו נכנסים לתקופה מעניינת.
