Build and deploy a full app with Base44 in 2026 (full tutorial)

This video is sponsored by Base44. Try Base44 here: https://base44.pxf.io/c/2713558/20492... In just 15 minutes, I built a full-stack meal planning and recipes app with Base44 with a backend database, user authentication, deployment, and live on the internet. In this video I walk through the whole build start to finish, even if you've never made an app before. Base44 handles the hard parts (database, auth, hosting) for you, and you can start completely free. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What we cover: Using Plan Mode to get a stronger first version of the app A full-stack build with backend database and user authentication Base44's new Growth feature: SEO, GEO, and AI-generated social content for Instagram, TikTok, and Reddit Deploying to a Base44 URL (or your own custom domain) The built-in security scan that catches row-level security issues before you publish Iterating on the app with new features (like nutritional info) Going live with signup/login, and what real users will actually see ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Chapters: 00:00 — Prompt and plan mode 02:21 — Reviewing the first build + testing core features 03:40 — Dashboard tour: database, users, and built-in tools 04:16 — The Growth feature: SEO, GEO, and social content 04:59 — Adding user authentication 05:33 — Generating social posts for Instagram, TikTok & Reddit 08:06 — Deployment, custom domain, and GitHub sync 09:14 — Built-in security scan & row-level security fixes 10:21 — Adding nutritional info to recipes 11:30 — Publishing the app live 12:00 — Testing the deployed signup & login flow 12:33 — Final thoughts + Base44's Super Agent ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ How to follow along in 4 steps: 1️⃣ Sign up for Base44 (free to start — link above) 2️⃣ Prompt your app idea and use Plan Mode for a stronger first version 3️⃣ Iterate with new features, then run the security scan before deploying 4️⃣ Publish to a Base44 URL — or upgrade to use your own custom domain ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The bigger picture: building apps is getting easier, but getting users is getting harder. That's why Base44 building Growth and social content features directly into the platform stood out to me — it's the direction every vibe coding tool will likely move next, and Base44 is early.
