Skip the blank prompt. Start from verified software.
A small, growing catalogue of working software Bases — each one shipped, scoped, and supported by me. Preview them, use them, buy the source, remix them with AI, or get help launching them.
You can probably ask AI to build something similar. This is for when you want the version I already got working — with the source code, the tradeoffs, and a path to launch.
Anatomy
What's inside every Base.
A working preview. The source code. A scoped remix path. Optional launch help. Underneath it all: honest alternatives, known limitations, and the bits AI usually gets wrong — so you can decide whether to buy or prompt your own.
How it works
Four steps from preview to launch.
- 01
Preview
Open a working live demo, demo video, or screenshots. Read the honest limitations and alternatives.
- 02
Use or own
Buy a usable build, or buy the source code with a clear setup guide.
- 03
Remix
Order a scoped customisation — branding, fields, payment provider, niche fit.
- 04
Launch
Deploy into your own accounts, or get optional managed hosting on standardised Bases.
An honest question
Why not just prompt it yourself?
You can. For many generic ideas, you should — that's progress, not a threat.
Bases are for when you want a verified first version, known limitations, source ownership, and a path to launch without managing the messy first pass yourself.
Every listing tells you what AI usually gets wrong, so you can decide.
Coming soon
The first Base is in the oven.
I'm building the first Base right now — a small, scoped piece of software I'd be proud to put my name on. When it's verified end-to-end, it ships here with a live preview, the source code, and the honest tradeoffs.
Built, not curated. Honest, not infinite.
Collab
Built something good with AI?
Right now every Base here is mine. If you've shipped something small and useful and you want a second pair of eyes — or you want it listed alongside mine — send it over. No promises, real reply within a week.

How I verify
This isn't a dump of AI-generated repos.
I built it
I shipped every Base here, hit the limits myself, and won't list one until I would happily run it for someone else.
Specific
No generic "todo app" or "CRM" — every Base has a niche, a clear scope, and a workflow I tested end-to-end.
Honest
Every listing shows free tools, paid SaaS alternatives, and whether you should just prompt it yourself.
