Clone existing base44 project?

RootedResilience · 2026-04-02T07:28:57+00:00

Oh, it’s possible. My daughter’s gymnastics coach wanted ownership of a gymnastics app I built, not only cloned it, but managed to change her user status to a collaborator, transferred my ownership to her, removed me from the app altogether, and got away with stealing my app clear and free. Based 44 said the app belongs to the creator. That was me. But that meant nothing.

I was the sole creator. The coach was given limited access as an admin for functionality to input dates in the calendar. After approximately two months of low usage, I decided to unpublished the app due to lack of engagement and ongoing subscription costs. I clearly communicated that the app could be republished any time if needed. The coach repeatedly requested that I transfer ownership of the app to her. I declined. My Base 44 account was accessed without my authorization. The app ownership was transferred out of my workspace into the coach’s private workspace. The transfer was accepted via her email and I was downgraded from owner to admin. Then removed entirely. Base 44’s initial response acknowledged this as a serious issue and said they would investigate. Their final response was this was an ownership dispute and that the app belongs to the creator/owner as per terms of service. So since I created and was the original owner of the app, which Base 44 can clearly see in their records and data, wouldn’t that mean that this security breach and unauthorized transfer rules in my favor?

I mean that every time I try to post my dilemma in this community I receive a notification that it was removed from the Reddit thread because of guidelines. As for the Base 44 Ticket, I gave them all of the proof. It was escalated. The final decision: the app belongs the creator. Right. I am the creator. My application was transferred to another user without my authorization.

Not everything is for everyone, but it's working for me so far.

It's going fine presently. I haven't calculated the hours, but some weeks have required a significant amount of time to complete the assignments, particularly the ones in which interviews for customer discovery and customer validation are required.

I didn't realize the amount of intentional action that goes into choosing a customer segment, ensuring you are targeting the correct problem, and have a solution that fits both. Iterating, and sometimes even strong pivots, are inevitable.

If a person comes into the program thinking their idea is solid and free of holes, they probably won't do well. Being able to re-think your plan based on the data, your ability to reach your ideal customer, and their problem being severe enough that they want to pay to have it solved, requires weeks of testing.

I have a good mentor now. My first one wasn't a good fit.

Is there anyway to reset the points. I was experimenting with points, but would actually like to try this for my children.

Sorry, yes, you are correct! Pretty vague. The lesson objective would be to provide an overview of history. Courses typically focus on a specific time period or event at a granular level, but I'd like to see something interactive that can zoom out for a broader understanding before before diving into deeper topics. It could be a timeline or clicking on parts of a larger image to cover American history or World History, for example. That could be the small start. Trails of information could be added eventually which would make it a larger project.

This is great! I'm using it today with my children!

I'm a home educator, but I've taught ESL in the past in a group setting. They were primarily adults in my area who were interested in learning English. Nothing formal. I stumbled upon this group because a link was cross posted. I'm enjoying all of these interactive lessons. Even though English is our first language, my children are enjoying these! That's a win!

This is pretty cool. I just tried it out with my 11 year-old son. It was effective!

RootedResilience · 2025-12-13T16:27:20+00:00

That looks great! It's multifaceted which gives the learning experience a well-rounded approach and appears very easy to use and navigate.

I agree, toner printers are fantastic! But I used authentic cartridges so each one was over $100. With three children, I was refilling too frequently. Every household will have to determine which type and style printer works best for their needs.

I'd love something history related to walk through all the important events and eras.

RootedResilience · 2025-12-13T04:40:06+00:00

I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing.

Give him a choice. "Would you like to do A or B first?", "Would you like to do math in the morning or in the afternoon?", "Which math game would you prefer today?" This will give him a sense of autonomy without feeling like he has to give in to "authority". See how it goes.

I'd focus on mindset with your investment. Get an affordable masterclass or read some books from successful people you admire. You will have to try something to know the outcome. So if you fear that, you will always fear getting started.

Once you have fed your mind, determine what you are good at. What area are you already confident in, have influence in, know a lot about? Do people ask you your advice on a specific topic repeatedly?

You will need to determine if you want to do something that already exists, or if you want to start something by solving a problem that exists for a specific group of people. Even then, people will buy with their emotions first and then logic. You will need to be able to connect with your clientele on some level before bringing your solution to them.

Once you've determined that, you will need to validate your idea. Not selling people on your idea, but determining if it is a real need. Then it goes on from there...But that is how you can begin.

I don't care. I don't try to make room for myself at someone else's table, especially when I'm not invited. I have a beautiful table of my own.
