VIBE CODING RESCUE

If you built your app with AI tools and got stuck, I'll finish it and take it to production.

Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Claude — whatever built it, the work is the same: I fix what's broken, finish what's missing, and take it live. I work by the hour, with a cap, after a free written triage.

Sound familiar?

  • It runs on your machine but not on the live site.
  • The build is red and won't assemble, and you can't tell why.
  • Login works one time and fails the next.
  • The API key sits in the code the browser loads, for anyone to read.
  • Migrations broke, so the database isn't what it should be.
  • You bought the domain, and the site still isn't live.
  • You're not sure what “deploy” means — putting the app online — or where to start.
  • It works until two people use it at the same time.

How many of these apply to your app? It takes a minute and I store nothing. Production check →

How it goes

  1. 01

    You send it

    Send a link to your repo — where the code lives — or to the live site, plus a few sentences on where it's stuck. No need to write it up nicely.

  2. 02

    Written triage, free

    Within two business days I write up what's wrong, what it takes to fix, and an hour range for the work. It's yours to keep even if you never hire me.

  3. 03

    I do it, I hand it over

    The app runs live in your own account, the code stays in your repo, and you get a short handover note on what lives where.

Price

€70 / hour

In twenty years I haven't seen two stuck apps alike, so there's no package and no minimum: I bill the hours I actually work.

I won't go past the top of the triage's hour range without asking you first.

What things usually take

These are reference ranges from jobs like yours, so you have something to multiply the rate by; the real number comes from the triage.

Going live: hosting, domain, the padlock (SSL), environment variables, database, contact form
4–8 hours
Fixing login and permissions
6–12 hours
Database and migrations
4–10 hours
Broken automated build (CI)
2–6 hours

WHAT I COMMIT TO

  • The triage is free and in writing, even if you never hire me.
  • Your repo, your accounts, your code stay yours: I ask for access, not ownership.
  • I reply within two business days.

Questions

Do I keep the code?
Yes. I work in your repo and deploy from your own hosting account, so at the end everything is yours exactly as it was at the start, except now it works.
What if it can't be rescued?
It happens, and when it does the triage says so and explains why, then gives an hour range for a rebuild. The triage is still free.
Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor, Claude: do you work with those?
Yes, I know what each of them produces, because they fall into a handful of patterns. One requirement: the code has to exist somewhere, in a Git repo or an export.
It's not an app, just a website. Do you take those?
Yes, and an AI-generated website is the same job with a shorter list: the domain, the padlock in the address bar, a contact form, the mobile layout, and the tags search engines read. It usually lands at the bottom of the ranges above, 4–8 hours.
Do you sign an NDA?
If you want one, I'll sign a simple NDA before the triage starts.
What access do you need?
Your repo, your hosting account — the service the app runs on, usually Vercel, Netlify or Railway — and the environment variables, where the secret keys live. The triage spells out the exact list.
Which stacks do you work with?
Whatever these tools typically produce: React, Next.js, Node and TypeScript, with Supabase or Firebase behind it, and React Native or Expo on mobile. If yours is different, say so, and the triage tells you whether I can take it on.
When can you start?
The triage names the earliest start date too, so if you have a deadline, put it in the message.
How do I pay?
You get an invoice for the hours worked. I'm a VAT-exempt sole trader in Hungary, so nothing is added on top: €70/hour is the total.
