I run Sharp Lens Studio, a photo retouching studio for e-commerce and fashion brands, with 12+ years of Photoshop experience. New clients always ask two things first: how much will it cost, and what will the result look like?
I built this app with Base44 to answer both in under a minute:
• Instant per-image quote calculator (service, image count, turnaround)
• Drag-to-compare before/after sliders on my real retouching work
• Free test-edit request form with private sample uploads
• A login-only studio dashboard to track every request from New to Won
It replaces long email back-and-forth and helps me reply to leads faster.

Ripcord. One pull for the day you can't go in.
You wake up ill. Client meetings, a deadline, people waiting on you. The worst part isn't the fever. It's the admin.
So I built a cord. Drag it down, say how long you're out, and Ripcord does the rest:
Moves your real Google Calendar meetings to your next free slots
Shifts your deadlines by the days you lose
Writes one short note per client in your voice, sent from your own Gmail
Plans your first morning back
Keeps a receipt for every change. Hold to undo any of it.
Can't face another app? There's an MCP server too. Tell Claude "I've got the flu, clear my week" and it pulls the cord for you.
Built entirely on Base44: entities with owner-only security, 27 backend functions, Google Calendar and Gmail connectors so each user connects their own account, InvokeLLM for the notes, and an hourly workflow for the heads-up and welcome-back emails. I tested it on my own calendar: the meetings moved, the notes landed, and undo put everything back.
The design is a "Signal Room": one glowing red cord on an LED wall. It works on your phone, one-handed, from bed.

Great work as always, AJ 😊
Pulen is a take-a-number app for a roti mochi bakery in Bandung. The bakery is fictional, the problem is real: the line starts at 6:40, people wait 45 minutes, and the cheese one sells out before nine.
You fill a box from home and pay, and your number only exists once the card clears, so nobody can hold buns with a fake order. Your paper ticket follows the oven and tells you when to start walking. In the kitchen, every tray of 36 is planned from paid boxes first. Unpaid holds, missed boxes, sold-out flavours and the owner's closing summary with an AI suggestion all run on their own.
If Bandung is asleep when you visit, press "Play the morning" to watch a whole morning in 70 seconds. To try ordering, use the Stripe test card 4242 4242 4242 4242.
Built in Base44 from 12 plain-English prompts.
I'd test the last cheese bun with two payments completing at once. Does Pulen reserve stock during checkout and release it on expiry, or allocate only after payment with a refund path if that flavour has sold out?
