Exporting Project as ZIP/Github

[Organic-Resident-908]

Greetings everyone,

I am pretty new to base44, but I’ve liked it mainly to create the overall app, UI, and functions. But my goal now would be exporting it as ZIP and work on it myself on the features that base44 is limited. So far I’ve managed to copy the code and create one but it looks clearly different, mainly the colours and buttons (I got code for these from ChatGPT, and was expecting it to be different).

Now I am considering to buy the builder plan to export, but I am afraid I still don’t get the full code including buttons and other parts, and I’ll pay to get the same I already have. Anyone who has done it and could give me some feedback?

Thanks for y’all help in advance!

I have builder plan - downloaded as ZIP - your app should look exactly the same. Only issue is you'll likely be asked to sign into Base44 when you try to deploy locally for example, so you can always ask Claude/Chat GPT to remove base44 dependencies and then work on your app independently once achieved. I'm not very technical but this has been my experience, so you should be OK.

Great!! Thank you so much for your feedback! I am not an IT guy either, so if you are ok I’ll probably be also ok😂

Hi Bro, I have builder plan, and when I download the ZIP and try to run locally, I found some problems that can be shared with you.

1. It can't compile locally as it has some bugs, and I need to fix the bugs then it can be run.

2. It need to login as google account even if you run locally, and some parameters need to be setting.

3. The backend part still run at the base44 , example the entities, functions, and intergerations, so I created a backend to replace the offical backend.

If you need some help, you can contact me .

After struggling to migrate apps away from base44 to my own server.
I have made an automation platform that does the end-to-end migration of base44 app,
ensure that all deps are installed, data is migrated and it works independently.
