It's 1 AM in Dubai. My team in New York is mid-afternoon, and everyone around me is asleep. I've worked like this for four years, so I built the place I wanted to work from.
Night Shift is a coworking space for night owls 🦉
• See who's up: a live Earth with real day and night lighting shows every builder on shift. Hover a country, join their room.
• Work together: rooms by the hour with video, screen share and chat. Your status follows the room you're in.
• Find your people: buddies matched on overlapping hours. Waves pop up live on their screen.
• Close the laptop: when your shift ends, AI drafts a handoff note from your night and emails it at 9:00 AM in your team's city, laptop open or not.
• See your night: hours, rooms and notes on your own dashboard. Hosts run it all from an admin panel.
Automations: a backend function closes ended shifts, drafts and sends handoff notes, clocks out anyone quiet for 2 hours, and sends a Friday recap.
How I built it: every screen designed on a canvas first, then built in Base44: 14 entities, 2 backend functions, realtime updates and peer-to-peer video, all on the free plan.

Letterstep — One letter, one clear next step (https://letterstep.base44.app)
A confusing letter can turn an everyday task into something overwhelming — especially when it concerns your child, your benefits, or your health coverage.
I built Letterstep to help people understand what a letter says, what it asks them to do, and where to start.
Paste a letter or import a .txt file, then ask questions in a conversational interface. Letterstep provides a plain-language explanation, separates deadlines from other dates, and connects suggested actions to the original wording. You can select the preparation tasks you want to keep and download or print them with supporting quotations.
FamilyCase brings related letters together, with fictional examples covering school meetings, Virginia SNAP preparation, and medical coverage. The goal is to help families prepare for a conversation — without making eligibility decisions or pretending to replace professional advice.
The walkthrough also previews a navigator handoff inside the same chat. Users review the context before continuing. This call is clearly labelled as a simulation; no live operator is contacted.
I designed the experience locally, then implemented and refined it with Codex and Base44. I tested the journey in Chrome, including mobile layouts, real text-file imports, live AI responses, source references, and selected-task exports.
My focus was making a stressful moment feel manageable: a calm interface, the original letter always within reach, and one clear next step.
