Tetelestai Studio - Photography Studio Website that automate the booking process and can be managed through Telegram messages.
Tetelestai Studio has 3 photographers and has steady stream of vacation photography booking in Melbourne. This project automate the booking flow matching with all 3 photographer schedules, showing the premium branding of the studio and integrate Telegram for easier experience of the Photographer.
Things you can ask through telegram:
- What’s my next job?
- List me all my job next week in a picture
- What is Nikita (other photographer) schedule next week?
- Show the entire team schedule in second week of November in a picture.
- Do we have client named Noah Smith?
- Change my active days to from Monday to Friday only
- Please block November 3, 09:00-15:00 in my schedule. (you won’t accept any job allocated in that timespan)
- There is a lot of room for improvement here (showing analytics etc), but due to the credit limitation I limit these to booking/scheduling for now.

This concept was based on my un-submitted submission on another Contra challenge (because I missed the deadline). I remade the entire site in Base44. The assets (images+video) are made in Midjourney, using the ones from my un-submitted project.
Thank you.
(The development notes will be added in comment and in the video so this post won’t take be too long.)
Development (Overview)
- It started with generating images with Midjourney and its mockup data.
- I also made storyboard/prototyping in local using Claude Code first, as I’m afraid I’ll spent too much token tuning here and there otherwise.
- Then I start the project with basic...
telegram for bookings is a smart call,, way less friction than another dashboard
Hi Ben, thanks for the compliment!
Yes, I think the Telegram integration can be helpful in a lot of cases and Base44 is pretty good at integrating this.

Aerolith: an autopilot for New York's airspace
At rush hour, New York barely moves, but a trauma bay waiting on blood can't wait. Aerolith is an aerial dispatch network that runs commercial drone work and emergency medical deliveries through one autopilot, built and shipped on @Base44.
What the automation does, with no dispatcher involved:
• Prices every request instantly from distance, job type and urgency
• Checks live weather at the pickup and calls GO or NO-GO against each aircraft's limits
• Finds the nearest aircraft with the right range, battery, payload and cold box, plus a medically cleared pilot
• Gives emergency deliveries priority: a booked commercial job yields, is re-slotted, and its client is told why
• Moves flights to the next clear window when a storm rolls in, or pages a duty officer for emergencies
• Sends live tracking to the client or hospital and logs every decision for audit
• Grounds aircraft automatically when they hit their service hours
The result: about 90 minutes of phone-and-spreadsheet dispatch work, done in about 3 seconds.
Design: I wanted it to feel like flying, not like a dashboard. The homepage is a scroll-driven 3D flight over a night-time New York, built in three.js, that follows a Lifeline drone on an emergency run. The rest of the site uses a blue-hour palette, wide type like the lettering painted on an aircraft, and a red lane reserved for emergencies. It's fully responsive on mobile.
The walkthrough film was made from the site's own 3D scene, with a voiceover and score cut to the narration.
Try it: aerolith-e0aa51d9.base44.app
Open the Ops console and press "Incoming emergency" to watch the autopilot work live.
A concept demo: the fleet, pilots and facilities are simulated, and the weather is real.
I literally had to launch my website behind my own back 😭💻
As a brand designer, I kept finding one more thing to tweak before going live. A font, a layout, another section… the list never ended.
But building with @Base44 reminded me that launching doesn't mean you're finished. It means you've started.
✨ Here's what I built:
🌐 BrandingbyEl Website: A fully designed, published, mobile-responsive website that I can continue improving as my business grows.
🚀 Before The Launch (BTL) : A brand clarity tool. It helps founders work through their ideas, identify gaps, and get clearer on their brand before working with a designer.
My biggest takeaway? Progress deserves to be published, too.
Both projects are live, and I'm excited to keep building, learning, and improving along the way.
Built with Base44 🖤
Haha felt this so hard! As designers we are never 100% satisfied, always one more tweak. You did the right thing launching — done is better than perfect. Congrats on finally going live!
What if one of the most meaningful messages you ever receive… is written by a version of you that no longer exists?
That question became Dear Future my submission for the #Base44Challenge.
We save photos.
We save messages.
We save memories.
But we rarely preserve who we were in that exact moment what we were thinking, hoping for, afraid of, or becoming.
So I designed a digital time capsule where your words don’t just get stored.
They wait for you.
With Dear Future, you can:
✦ Write a letter to your future self or someone else
✦ Add memories and images
✦ Choose the exact future date it should return
✦ Personalize your capsule with colours and seals
✦ Seal it so it can’t be read or edited before its opening date
✦ Watch the countdown inside your personal archive
✦ Return later and experience the letter as something preserved not just another notification
But the biggest design challenge wasn’t creating a way to send a letter later.
It was designing the wait.
As a Senior Product & UI/UX Designer, I wanted every interaction to support that idea.
The archive.
The physical capsule metaphor.
The vintage television.
The sealing ritual.
The countdown.
The responsive mobile experience.
None of them are there just for decoration. Together, they turn anticipation into part of the product.
I designed the UX, visual system, interaction language, responsive experience, storytelling, and complete product flow then built and shipped the working experience with @Base44.
This project reminded me why I love product design:
A good interface helps someone complete a task.
A meaningful experience makes them feel something while doing it.
Dear Future Words outlive the moment.
