Built my first app on Base 👷🏼
Wrapping up this small challenge where since Jan 9 I was sharing how I built an app from scratch.
In practice, it’s a simple onchain habit tracker
I can’t really code, so the whole build was done with AI
From idea to a working version took ~20 hours over 10 days
The hardest part wasn’t the code, but the integrations:
• Base app
• Farcaster mini-app
• wallet + account linking
Deployed the smart contract via Remix, shipped the site with GitHub + Vercel.
What started as ~200 lines of code turned into ~1600 with UX and mobile support.
Why I did it:
- to understand how Base / mini-apps actually work
- to get on the radar as a dev
- to maybe build something bigger in the future
The app is still very raw, some check-ins broke, but:
transactions work, users are counted - so it’s alive
If this gets some traction, I’ll drop a step-by-step guide on how to build your own app from scratch.
For now: throw the Base docs into an AI and just start building.
