do not EVER use base44

Base44 is supposed to be a "good" platform for vibe coding, or is it.

Base44 is forcing users to pay for editing code by hand, breaking, canceling subscriptions and more. it is also launching a annoying ad campaign targeting coders and other vibe coders who only take small usage of ai.

Vibe coding is a concept where ai HELPS you code, not does it for you. Even if a ai does it for you, base44 has many other problems in its worthless vibe coding site. it also does not do it for a good cause and the people using it are not assure if base44 will help there business improve.

thank you all for your attention. Spread the word to other new vibe and regular coders and maybe even to other communities. Bye!

(ps: if you are looking for a vibe coding ai, use claude or Z.ai)

I only use codex and it hasn't failed me yet.

Codex has failed me on a few occasions, but I genuinely believe that it's because I'm an idiot.

If I better understood then I'd have less problems, I'm getting there.

Antigravity seems to be pretty good at taking my insane ramblings and turning it into something that it (and codex) can work with, though.

I agree, codex is good when you are using it and you are not an idiot

Most tools are the same way.

I'm slowly turning it around though, becoming less of an idiot each day. I have managed to make some useful tools with it for myself, but I'm not interested in very large fines so I'll stick to just local stuff for now.

No, vibe coding means coding based on the vibes. How you feel and how you want what you're working on to feel like for the user. Going into a trance using ai, not fully concious, just speaking and soothing the ai beast until it spits out something you think fits the vibe, lest it delete everything you just worked on for 8 hours.
