30+ days of work locked because of a workspace trap.
Extremely frustrating................
I honestly don’t even know where to start.
I spent over 30 days building an app on this platform. Real users. Real data. Real work. I paid €50 to continue working on it, thinking everything was straightforward.
Then I moved the app to a shared workspace.
At NO point was it made crystal clear that this action was irreversible. No proper warning. No “this cannot be undone” in a way that actually makes you stop and think. And now I’m being told it can’t be moved back.
What exactly is the logic behind that?
So now my app... which I’ve invested serious time into..... is stuck in a workspace I don’t want it in, and apparently that’s just “how it works.”
That’s not a minor UX issue. That’s a fundamental trust issue.
If you are positioning yourself as a serious platform for builders and companies, irreversible structural actions should be OBVIOUS and clearly flagged. Not buried. Not subtle.
When you’ve spent 30+ days building something and then realize one click permanently changes its ownership context with no way back, it feels like a trap.
I’m beyond frustrated at this point. I reached out to the support- expected flexibility, transparency, control over my own app.
Right now, this experience feels careless toward users who are actually investing time and money into building on the platform.
Base44
Hey PH👋
Maor started Base44 as a side project late 2024, and it's now at millions of users.
Early on, Maor made a bet to build the entire backend infrastructure from scratch instead of relying on Firebase, Supabase, etc. That bet paid off.
Today we're releasing that same infrastructure as a standalone Backend as a Service - and it's fundamentally different from existing solutions.
The problem: If you've built with Claude Code or Cursor, you've hit this wall. The agent writes great code - then chokes on backend setup. That's not the agent's fault. Supabase, Firebase, and the rest were designed for human developers who read docs and configure things manually. AI agents don't work that way. The backend is still the bottleneck.
We built Base44 Backend from the ground up for agents:
🤖 Skills instead of APIs - AI agents don't read API docs the way humans do. Our Skills system gives agents simple, structured instructions they can execute natively. This is a huge difference in practice vs. throwing a Supabase or Firebase SDK at an agent and hoping for the best.
⚡ One command to deploy - database, auth, file storage, everything. No config files, no environment variables, no setup tax.
🔌 Built-in Connectors - OAuth-ready integrations to Gmail, Slack, Notion, Salesforce, HubSpot, LinkedIn, and more. Your agent says "post to Slack when a new order comes in" and it just works. No managing API keys or building OAuth flows from scratch.
🧠 App Agents -Built-in AI agents that live inside your app. They can read and write data, trigger backend functions, search the web, connect to WhatsApp, they're like teammates that ship with your product out of the box.
🚀 Battle-tested at scale - This isn't a new experiment. It's the same infra powering 10M+ production apps on Base44.
Who it's for: Developers using Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI coding agent who are tired of the backend being the thing that slows everything down. If you want your agent to go from idea to deployed app without you ever touching backend config, that's exactly what we built.
We're shipping fast and want to build this with the community. Tell us what's missing, what's broken, what would make this 10x more useful for your workflow.
Would love your feedback 🙏

Awesome, finally!
Is it possible to pick it up from an existing project and have two-way sync between the two? Or only start a new one?

@guymanzur Not yet possible to work with the Base44 AI Agent on Base44 Backend projects, but we are working on it!
If you have an existing app and you want to try out the experience of a Base44 Backend project, you have the option to use `base44 eject` which would clone your existing app into a backend project. Check out the docs here:
https://docs.base44.com/developers/backend/quickstart/templates/quickstart-from-existing-app
Stay tuned to when we'll announce support for working with the Base44 CLI on your existing projects without ejecting.

Awesome platform!
Base44
@elie222 thank you! we are doing our best to make the best platform for our users!
Been using Base44 to build internal tools and MVPs, and the speed is honestly wild. The new Backend Platform feels like it removes the biggest pain point when working with agents in Cursor or Claude Code — no setup, no config, just ship. Congrats on the launch 🚀
Backend orchestration for AI workflows is getting complex fast. Curious how you're handling multi-model routing and request batching - is it config-based or does the platform adapt dynamically? Also interested in the observability layer - tracking token usage across models is a mess for most platforms I've tried.
I’ve heard a lot about Base44!!! and got a chance to try it, it’s perfect for building quick PoC apps. I am honestly shocked with how fast and intuitive it is
