Stalled builds

You started with AI. It stalled. We take it from here.

The prototype you shipped from Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor or Replit works in the demo and breaks with real users. We read the code first, then tell you what it takes.

Problems we solve

  • Demo works. Real users break it.
  • Payments and login never quite land.
  • Database open to anyone who looks.
  • Every new request breaks an old feature.
  • Nobody knows why the code works.

How the handover runs

  • Code review: what exists, what runs, what is dangerous.
  • Security holes and exposed database access closed.
  • Payments, accounts and email rebuilt for real traffic.
  • Moved to infrastructure you own: Vercel, Coolify or your server.
  • Speed, mobile layout and search basics fixed.
  • Ongoing maintenance available under LumiCare.

Outcomes

A system that takes money, not a prototype.

The code is yours. No locked platform.

The next developer can pick it up.

How to do vibe coding right: the rules behind projects that reach production

Doing vibe coding right isn't a chat habit, it's a discipline. Narrow the scope, ask for one step, test it, commit it: most of the projects we take over skipped this loop.

FAQ

Which tools do you accept projects from?

Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Replit, Base44 and Firebase Studio. When the output is React or Next.js we continue on it directly. For anything else we tell you during the review whether continuing or rebuilding is cheaper.

Do you rewrite everything from scratch?

No. First we look at what can be saved. Often the interface stays and only the data and security layers get rebuilt. Sometimes starting over genuinely costs less, and we say so plainly instead of billing you for a rescue that is not worth it.

Why isn't the price fixed?

Two projects that look identical from the outside can be completely different underneath. One is three days of work, the other is six weeks. We quote after reading the code, not before.

I don't want to share my code. Is it safe?

We sign an NDA before you send anything. Repository access can be read-only, and it is revoked when the review ends.

My project never launched. It is just an idea. Does this fit?

Yes. We talk even when there is no code yet. That is a build from zero rather than a handover: we settle what gets made on the call and scope it from there. If you do have a half-finished codebase, we read it first.
