Who it's for

  • Founders who built a prototype in Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Base44 and hit a wall
  • Apps that work in the demo but break with real users or real data
  • Anyone about to take payments or personal data through a vibe-coded app

What you get

  • An audit of the current app with a prioritised list of what blocks production
  • Authentication and access rules that actually protect user data
  • A production database with migrations and backups
  • Payments, transactional email and SEO basics
  • Security fixes for exposed keys, open endpoints and missing validation
  • Deployment to hosting you control, with your custom domain

Why vibe-coded apps stall

AI app builders are great at getting an idea on screen. The gaps show up later: logins anyone can bypass, data that lives in a demo database, payments that aren’t wired up, pages search engines can’t read, and hosting you don’t control. The same mistakes repeat across many AI-generated apps, which also makes them predictable to find and fix.

How the rescue works

  1. Audit. I read the code and the setup, then send you a written list of what blocks production, in priority order.
  2. Fix. Auth, database, payments, security and SEO, in that order, each one tested.
  3. Deploy. The app moves to hosting and a domain you own, with a handover so you know how it runs.

Lovable and Supabase: what gets checked

  • Row-level security policies, so each user can only read and change their own data
  • Migrations, so database changes are repeatable and reviewable
  • Edge functions and secrets, so API keys never reach the browser
  • Auth flows: sign-up, email verification, password reset, sign-out

Replit and Base44

For Replit apps, the focus is a proper production database, environment secrets and a deployment you control. For Base44 apps, we start with what can be exported and plan the parts that need rebuilding around your data.

The tools I use

I work with Claude Code and Codex alongside my own review, which is how a rescue moves quickly without guesswork. The code I hand back is ordinary, readable code with no lock-in to a builder. Want to check your app yourself first? Read the Lovable to production checklist.

How it's built

The architecture, step by step

From AI-built prototype to production

  1. Your prototype

    Built in Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Base44

    • Lovable
    • Bolt.new
    • Replit
    • Base44
  2. Audit

    What blocks production, in order

  3. Fix

    Auth, data, payments, security, SEO

    • Supabase
  4. Test

    Real users, real data, real payments

  5. Live

    Hosting you control

Why this stack

  • Keep what is sound in the generated code and replace what is not.
  • Move data into a production database with migrations and backups.
  • No lock-in: ordinary, readable code you can hand to any developer.

Typical starting points. The final stack is chosen per project and written into your scope.

Questions

Is a Lovable app production ready?

Lovable generates real React code with Supabase behind it, which is a good starting point. Before real users arrive, the access rules (Supabase row-level security), secrets, error handling and deployment need a careful review. That review is the first step of a rescue.

Do I have to rebuild from scratch?

Usually not. The audit tells us what can stay, what needs fixing and what has to be replaced, and you decide before any work starts.

Which builders do you work with?

Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit and Base44, and other vibe-coding tools that produce real code. If you used something else, book a call and we'll see if it's a fit.

Can you move my app off the builder's hosting?

Where the builder lets you export or sync the code to a repository, yes. The app then runs on hosting and a domain in your name.

A 30-minute call is enough to tell whether it fits, what the first version should include, and how long it takes.
