It works in the demo. Real customers find the rest: data they can see that isn’t theirs, keys anyone can copy, payments that fail quietly.
Not sure? That’s the usual answer. Take the 60-second test, or get a free 30-minute check with an engineer.
The 60-second test
Six questions from the production checklist. These are the ones that break first when real customers arrive.
Signed in as one customer, you can’t see another customer’s data.
No secret keys are shipped to the browser.
You’ve restored a backup, and it worked.
You hear about errors before your users do.
A customer can invite their team, with different roles.
When a card payment fails, your app knows and handles it.
What a check usually turns up
Typical patterns, not named clients.
- Lovable
An app with paying users
Row-level security switched off on the tables that matter.
- Bolt
An MVP before a pilot
The Supabase service key shipped in the front-end bundle.
- Cursor
A SaaS with its first business customer
One account per person, when the customer needs teams and roles.
- Replit
An app in production
A database nobody has tried restoring, on one instance with no staging copy.
Step zero
Pick a time. Put the link to your app in the booking note, and the repo if you can share it.
- 30 minutes with an engineer, not a salesperson
- A plain answer: a few fixes, or a production build
- The risks to fix first, whether or not you hire us
- Nothing to sign
You’ll talk to Zoran Aleksikj, founder of Dynode, or the senior engineer who would do the work. We build and run our own products too, so we know what breaks after launch.

How it works
Then the same process as every Dynode build: an audit and a blueprint before any code, so you know the price before you commit to it.
- 30 minutes · free
The check
Send the link when you book. An engineer goes through it with you and tells you plainly whether you need a few fixes or a production build.
- 1 week · fixed price
Audit
We read the code, the data and the setup, and sort every part into keep, rebuild or add. If a few fixes are enough, that’s the answer.
- 1 week
Blueprint
The plan for the build, and its price fixed in writing before we write code.
- 4–8 weeks
Build
A working build every week, so you’re watching the timeline rather than being told about it.
- After launch
Run
We run it on a monthly retainer, or hand it over completely: code, documentation and access.
Built with
They are good at the first version. Here is what we usually find missing when someone is about to depend on it.
Lovable
A React front end on Supabase.
Usual gapRow-level security that is off or too open, so one signed-in user can read another’s data.
Bolt
A full-stack app built in the browser, often on Supabase too.
Usual gapKeys shipped to the browser, no migrations, and backups nobody has restored.
Cursor
Your own repo, written with an AI editor.
Usual gapEverything nobody asked for: tests, error handling, monitoring, one consistent way of doing things.
Replit
An app built and hosted on Replit.
Usual gapStaging versus production, a database you can back up and restore, and whether to stay on its hosting.
v0
A polished Next.js interface.
Usual gapThe back end behind it: real data, logins, roles and payments.
Who it’s for
A good call when
- Real people use it, or are about to: a pilot customer, a second account, a first invoice.
- Each new feature breaks two old ones, and the AI tool keeps going in circles.
- You’re not sure who can see whose data.
- Teams, roles or payments are next, and the tool isn’t getting you there.
- A customer or investor has started asking about security.
Not the right fit when
- You’re still finding out whether anyone wants it. Keep building with the tool; it’s good at exactly that stage.
- You need one bug fixed today. A freelancer on a marketplace is faster and cheaper.
- You want someone to keep prompting the tool for you.
What we usually find
The audit goes through a 48-item production checklist. These six come up in almost every app built with AI tools.
Data anyone signed in can read
Row-level security off, or a policy that lets every user query every table.
Secrets in the browser
API keys and service keys shipped with the front end, where anyone can copy them.
One login per person
Customers need teams: invites, roles, and one company’s data kept apart from the next.
Payments that work until a card fails
No webhooks keeping your database in step, no refunds, no retries.
No backup anyone has restored
And database changes made by hand, with no migrations to replay them.
You hear about bugs from users
No error monitoring, no logs worth reading, no tests to catch the next break.
Is the 30-minute check really free?
Yes, and there is nothing to sign. You book a slot, send the link, and an engineer goes through your app with you. You leave knowing whether you need a few fixes or a production build, and which risks to fix first, even if you never work with us.
Do I have to stop using Lovable, Bolt or Replit?
Not necessarily. We work from your code in a repository you own, and the audit decides what stays where. Some teams keep building screens in the tool while we do the layer underneath; others move off it entirely. It depends on what the app needs next, and we’ll tell you which and why.
Will you rebuild everything?
No. Screens and flows your users already know, business logic that is right and the data you have collected can usually stay. What a prototype usually lacks is the layer underneath: logins and roles, each customer’s data kept apart, billing and monitoring. The audit says what to keep, what to rebuild and what it costs.
What does it cost?
The check is free. The audit is a fixed fee, quoted before you commit. If it shows a few fixes are enough, you stop there and keep the findings. Otherwise a one-week blueprint follows, and at the end of it the build price is fixed in writing before we write code.
How long does it take?
One week of audit and one week of blueprint, then 4–8 weeks of build. You see a working build every week. If your date is closer than that, say so when you book and we’ll tell you on the call what’s realistic.
Who owns the code?
You do, unless you choose another licensing model, and whichever you choose is agreed in writing before work starts. If we part ways, the handover includes the code, documentation, the eval setup and access to everything we set up.
Who does the work?
Senior engineers, led by the person who designs your system. AI agents work alongside them on implementation and testing, which is how a senior team ships in weeks. You deal directly with the people building it, from the first call to handover.
Thirty minutes, free, with the engineer who would do the work.
