Hi all,

I’ve been building an internal supply chain app in Base44 for a few months now (still on the free trial), and I’ve run into what seems like a hard limit when importing my product catalog.

Here’s the issue:

• My dataset has ~414 products (CSV and Excel tested)
• The app consistently only stores ~298–300 records
• The rest are not imported, even though:
  • I’ve relaxed validation rules
  • Allowed incomplete rows (missing fields)
  • Ensured structure is consistent
  • Tested both .xlsx and .csv (UTF-8)

At first I thought it was due to:

• Missing fields → fixed (still happens)
• Parsing issues → cleaned file (still happens)
• Duplicate keys → allowed duplicates (still happens)

So now it really looks like a hard cap around ~300 records.

My questions:

1. Is there a record/storage limit on the free trial that caps datasets around ~300 rows?
2. If I upgrade to a paid plan:
   • Will this limit be removed or increased?
   • Or is this a technical constraint of the platform?
3. Is there a recommended way to handle larger datasets (400–1000+ records)?
   • External database?
   • Pagination config?
   • Different import method?

Context:

• This is a real operational tool (inventory + consignments + purchase tracking)
• I need to handle ~400–500 SKUs minimum, likely growing

If anyone from the Base44 team or experienced users can clarify whether this is:

• a plan limitation
• a configuration issue
• or a system constraint

I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks!

I’m trying to understand a pattern I have and wondering if anyone else relates.

For some reason, I don’t relapse when things are bad. It’s actually the opposite. When life is going well, like a project works out, I feel good, things are stable… that’s when I get the urge to smoke.

It’s almost like I want to “enhance” the moment or reward myself, like being high will make it even better. But it never does. If anything, it takes away from it and messes up the momentum I had.

I don’t fully get why my instinct is to go back to weed when things are already good. You’d think it would be the other way around.

Has anyone else experienced this? Why does this happen?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on cultural expectations, gift ideas, and generally how to handle this situation respectfully.

I’m in my 30s and engaged to my Korean girlfriend (also in her 30s), who’s from Daegu. We’ve been together for about 8 years. She moved to my country around 9 years ago, and we’ve basically been together ever since.

I’ve met her parents before and they’ve always been kind and accepting, but I haven’t seen them again since we got engaged. I’ll be visiting them soon, and I want to make a good impression; especially now that things are more formal.

I’m aware I may have skipped some traditional steps (like formally asking for their blessing before proposing). We’re a more modern couple, and at the time it didn’t feel necessary, but I understand it might still matter to them culturally, so I want to be respectful moving forward.

We’re planning to have our wedding in Korea first so her whole family (parents, grandparents, cousins, etc.) can be there. Her mom has recently been a bit more insistent about us getting married soon, so this is also partly to align with her expectations and her side of the family.

From what I’ve seen, weddings in Korea are more structured and formal (ceremony, greetings to parents, etc.), and we’re not planning a fully traditional wedding, but still something along those lines.

So I have a few questions:

• Is it customary (or expected) to bring a gift for her parents, immediate family; especially her father, for a visit like this?
• If so, what kind of gift would be appropriate? Something practical, symbolic, or from my country?
• When meeting them after getting engaged, is there anything specific I should say or do to show respect (especially considering I didn’t formally ask for permission beforehand)?
• Should I already come prepared to discuss wedding plans in detail (budget, timing, roles of each family, etc.), or is that something that typically comes later?

For context, her parents are somewhat traditional (as expected for their generation), but also open-minded and have been supportive so far. Still, I know expectations can be different culturally, and I want to approach this the right way.

I’ll admit I’m a bit nervous; mostly because I’ve heard stories where parents reacted very strongly in similar situations (even though hers are not like that). Also, her grandmother is still alive and important in the family, so I want to be respectful across the board.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
