Practical guides for getting an app built with Lovable, Bolt or Replit ready to launch.
Everything I check before an AI-built app meets real users: security, data protection, reliability, performance, scaling, deployment, code quality and accessibility, with the concrete points under each and how to prioritise them.

A talk I gave on what’s actually happening inside modern AI. No magic, just patterns learned from data at a scale that’s hard to picture, from a single Titanic passenger list to large language models.

Connecting a Lovable or Bolt project to GitHub gives you a copy of the code you own, a full history you can roll back to, and the route onto real hosting later. Here is how to turn it on.

A practical, engineer-not-lawyer walk through the GDPR basics an AI-built app needs to get right, and the two things to fix before you launch.

Broken access control is the most common serious flaw I find in AI-built apps. The interface hides things, but the server never re-checks who is asking - so user A can reach user B's data.

The security holes in AI-built apps are the same few every time: keys the browser can read, permission checks that only exist in the interface, and a database with the doors left open. How to find each one yourself.

AI-built apps have specific cost traps: uncapped API calls, no spend alerts, no rate limits. Here is where the money leaks and how to put a hard ceiling on it.

A bad migration, a wrong delete, or a provider incident can wipe your data. The worst way to find out your backup was never real is the day you need it. Here is how to check, and how to prove a restore works.

Your app feels instant on five rows of test data, then crawls the week real people and real data show up. The slow parts are predictable, and most of them come from how generated code is written. Here is where to look.

Getting an AI-built app off the builder and onto hosting you control, in an order that doesn’t break anything, with detail on the two steps that catch people out.

A practical afternoon of accessibility checks for founders who built with Lovable, Bolt or Replit: the keyboard test, colour contrast, labels and alt text, headings, forms and zoom.

The real test of an AI-built app is whether a new developer can clone it, run it and change it without a heroic effort. Six things a buyer, an investor or your first hire will look at, and how to check each one yourself.

Six recognisable signs that your Lovable, Bolt or Replit app has crossed from prototype into a real product that needs more control, plus when to stay put and what moving involves.

AI-built apps go down for a small number of predictable reasons: prototype hosting, a database that pauses itself, and nobody watching. Four fixes, in the order I would do them.
Eve Anderson
Hosting, DNS and API keys are the three things people building with Lovable, Bolt and Replit get stuck on, because none of them can be fixed from inside the builder. What each one looks like, and where to start.

Start with an honest, prioritised picture of what sits between you and a confident launch, then let me help you put it right. Fixed price to start, no obligation.
