Example package
Pre-launch security review
A review of your app's data access, keys and logins, with the fixes made.
You get
- A written list of every issue found
- Database access rules repaired
- Keys moved out of the front end
- A re-test after fixes
Sound familiar?
What we hear from businesses before a project like this starts.
- The app works in the demo, but falls over with real users.
- Every change I ask for breaks something else.
- I'm not sure who can see whose data.
- Payments, emails and logins are half-done.
- It needs to run somewhere proper, not inside the builder.
What buyers usually need
The requests that come up most often for this kind of work, and what each one takes to work properly.
01
A security and release review
Database access rules, exposed keys, authentication and permissions checked before launch.
02
A prototype finished feature by feature
The missing screens, flows and edge cases built and tested.
03
A move to production hosting
The app exported and deployed to AWS, Vercel or a server in your own account, in the region you need.
04
Payments, email and logins finished
Stripe, transactional email and sign-in flows completed and tested end to end.
05
Bugs repaired without breaking the rest
Each bug repaired in the code itself, with tests so the next change doesn't undo it.
06
Moving off Bubble or Airtable when you outgrow them
Data and logic moved to a stack you can grow, in stages.
Tools that come up most: Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Bubble, Supabase, React, Vite, Next.js, Stripe, Vercel, AWS, GitHub.
What you get
Concrete pieces, each one something you can open and check when it's done.
Security review and fixes
Row-level security, keys, authentication and permissions checked and repaired.
Supabase RLS, auth, secret managementFeature completion
Missing screens, flows and edge cases built in the existing code.

Example projects
Rescuing a Lovable-built tutoring marketplace and taking it to production
TutorNest's founder built a tutoring marketplace in Lovable and got real families and tutors using it, then hit the wall. Security rules were leaking data, payouts failed, scheduling broke across time zones, and every change risked breaking something else. We audited the app and closed 14 database security gaps. We rebuilt payments and repaired scheduling, then moved everything to a clean codebase in the founder's own GitHub with tests, a staging environment and monitoring. The product looks the same to its users; underneath, it is ready to grow.
- Security audit and Supabase row-level security fixes
- Stripe Connect payouts rebuilt with webhooks, retries and reconciliation
- Scheduling fixes: double bookings, time zones and calendar sync
- Migration to a maintainable Next.js codebase, with performance work (5.2 s → 0.9 s load)
Lovable export, Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres, auth, RLS), Stripe Connect, Sentry, Vercel
Sample build
A working example we built to show this kind of work. It is a demonstration, not a client project.
Sample build
Rescuing a builder-made React app: auth and data-access fixes
A project tracker in the shape that builders like Lovable or Bubble produce had four bugs: signed-in users were sent back to the login page on every refresh, the protected page flashed before redirecting, every user saw everyone else's projects, and the previous user's list stayed cached after sign-out. Each fix ships as a patch with a bug, cause and fix note plus the matching row-level security policy.
React 18, Vite, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, React Router, TanStack Query, Supabase-style client (local mock), Docker
About the screenshots: A sample React app built for this demonstration in the style those builders produce (not exported from Lovable or Bubble), shown before and after the fixes.
How we approach it
The habits that keep this kind of project from going wrong.
1
Review before scoping
We look through the code and database before writing the scope, so it reflects what is really there.
2
Security first
Data access and keys are secured before new features, because they are the expensive problems after launch.
3
Keep what works
We finish and fix the existing app. Rebuilding is only proposed with a clear reason.
4
Out of the builder, into your accounts
Code in your GitHub, hosting in your name, so you are not locked in.
How we work
You describe it. We write it down, build it, and hand it over.
You describe it
Tell us what you need in your own words, and which tools you already use. A few lines is plenty to start.
A written scope
We reply with a short written scope: what gets built, what is out of scope, which accounts we need, and how we'll both know it works. You know what you're getting before work begins.
Milestones you review
The work is split into milestones. At each one you see it working in your own account and sign it off before we go on.
Handover and a 30-day fix window
You get the working system, its documentation and a walkthrough. If anything we built breaks in the next 30 days, we fix it at no charge.
What shapes the scope
- How much of the app is finished
- Which builder and database
- Security issues found in review
- Where it has to be hosted
Always included
- A written scope before work starts
- Milestones you review and sign off
- Documentation and a walkthrough at handover
- A 30-day window for fixes, at no charge
Pushbuild has built software for businesses since 2010, for more than 40 clients. Every project is led by a former public-company CTO, from Groton, Massachusetts. See products we've built.
Questions people ask first
Can I keep using Lovable or Bolt after you've worked on it?
Usually yes, through the GitHub sync. We tell you in the scope if any change would make that harder.
Will you rebuild it from scratch?
Not unless there is a clear reason, which we would explain in the scope. Most prototypes are worth finishing.
What access do you need?
Access to the builder project or GitHub repository, and to the database. You can remove it at handover.
Who owns the result?
You do. Code in your GitHub, hosting and database in your accounts.
How long does it take?
A security review takes a few days; finishing features or moving hosting one to three weeks from the signed scope.
What happens after launch?
For 30 days we fix anything we built that does not work as the scope describes, at no charge. After that, we scope any further work with you first, so there are no surprises.
Tell us what you need built.
Email a few lines about what you want and which tools you use, or call. We reply with questions or a written scope.
