Transcript context

…Okay, let me follow that thread. That's a really interesting topic. So what is in your stack of productivity for yourself that allowed you to build Base44? ... for yourself and then that allowed you to build Base44, just like the tech stack of Base44. So you said Cursor, Base44. What else did you use day-to-day that helped you be more efficient? So I have severe ADHD, and so it can also be like a superpower. But then you have to like, first, the first thing you want to do is make sure that your workday looks that you can be focused and that you get a lot of like deep work and so. I use a product called RescueTime, which I really like, but I think there's a bunch of other products like shuts down every access to Twitter and LinkedIn and so on. This was really hard because I was starting to do this build in public, which turned out to work pretty well for Base44. And so every time you want to take a look at your post or see how many likes and impressions and so on, but then you can't work on anything else. And so I had this first setup that really allowed me a certain set of software tools that I can use to manage kind of deep work. [inaudible 00:24:12] has been awesome.

And so I wrote things that were really customized to my process and what I wanted to do, which really helped. But I think you can do that not only with Base44, where just you can vibe code your way into like productivity tools that really fits what you want to do and what the process for you looks like. So again, for example for my social posts and so on, there's like a process that I would follow and maybe no one else would follow that. And so vibe code, the custom apps for that, was really helpful. Let me actually ask about that. That is super cool. So you built basically internal tools for yourself using Base44. People can use other tools potentially. So you built one that's like, "Help me craft a tweet." Well, how does that actually look? Like what is the input? That sounds really interesting.…
