You got your app most of the way. I’ll tell you exactly what’s left.

Is this you?

• It works in the preview. With real people using it, it breaks.
• You fix one thing and two others stop working.
• The same bug keeps coming back, and it has cost more credits than the rest of the app.
• You’re about to let people sign up or pay, and you can’t tell whether that’s safe.
• You’re not sure what the tool actually built, or what your app runs on.
• You’d like a developer to look at it, just not one who’ll tell you to throw it away.

None of this means you did it wrong. It’s where almost every app built this way ends up, and most of what you built usually stays.

What the first-look is

I read your app’s code and settings, look into the thing that’s blocking you, and write you a report. You get:

• A one-page summary you can read in five minutes: can this be finished, and is it safe to launch as it stands?
• Your problem, answered on its own: what’s actually happening, how I know, and what it takes to fix.
• Up to five other things I found, each marked fix before launch, fix soon or can wait.
• What’s fine: the parts that work and should be left alone.
• A fixed price for each fix, valid for 30 days.
• A 15-minute call to go through it together.

Scanners and AI reviewers are free, and they’re worth running. They list every possible problem; they can’t tell you which three matter for your app, right now. Nothing goes in my report unless I’ve confirmed it myself.

What a report looks like

How it works

1. 1Tell me what you built. A short form, about three minutes: what the app does, what you built it with, and where you’re stuck.
2. 2I reply within one business day. If it’s a fit, I confirm the price and send step-by-step instructions for sharing read-only access from your tool. If it isn’t, I say so, and why, before you pay anything.
3. 3You get your report 5 business days after access is in place, then we have the 15-minute call.
4. 4You decide. Fix it yourself with the report, hand it to another developer or back to your AI tool, or have me fix it at the quoted price.

How your code is handled

• Read-only access. A GitHub invite or your tool’s own share or export. I never need to change anything.
• Never your users’ data. I work from the code and settings, not your live database.
• No passwords or keys. Don’t send them through the form or by email. If I find one in your code, the report says where it is and how to replace it, never what it is.
• Access removed at the end. When we’re done, I remove my access and tell you I have.
• Nothing shared. Nothing from your app appears anywhere else without your written permission.

Who does the work

Price

What this is not

• Not a penetration test, a compliance certification, or legal advice.
• Not a guarantee that your app is secure or free of bugs. It is an experienced engineer’s honest read of where it stands.
• Not the fix itself. I read your code; I don’t change it. Fixes, new features, design, a rebuild or ongoing support can all be quoted afterwards, at a fixed price or by the hour.
• Not a look at your users’ data. I work from read-only access to the code and settings, never production data.
• Not a rewrite. Most of what you built usually stays.

Questions

Is my code too messy to show you?

No. Every app built this way has rough spots. I’m looking for what matters, not grading you.

I don’t know what my app is built on.

That’s fine. Working it out is part of the first-look.

Do I have to hire you for the fixes?

No. The report is written so you can hand it to your AI tool or another developer.

Can you just fix it without the report?

The report is how a fix gets a fixed price. Without it, we’d both be guessing.

What if my problem is small?

Then the report is short and the fix is cheap, and you’ll know in 5 days.

What if you can’t help?

If your request shows it isn’t a fit, I’ll tell you before you pay.
