Security tips, launch strategies, case studies, and lessons learned from helping vibe-coded apps cross the finish line.
After reviewing 50 apps built with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, and Replit, the same problems keep showing up. Here are the real numbers — and what every vibe coder should fix before launching.
An honest comparison of the eight most popular vibe coding tools — what each is best at, where they struggle, and which one fits your project.
AI tools have democratised building software. But building and shipping are different things. Here's the gap nobody talks about — and why we started Last Hurdle to close it.
Real pricing for getting AI-built apps production-ready. What to expect whether you hire a freelancer, an agency, or do it yourself — with breakdowns by scope and tool.
Bolt gets you a working prototype fast — but the StackBlitz export is only the starting point. Here's how to deploy your Bolt app to production with proper hosting, a real backend, and security that holds up.
Cursor gives you real code in a real IDE — but that doesn't mean it's production-ready. Here's how to deploy a Cursor-built project with CI/CD, testing, and the hardening steps AI skips.
Lovable gets you to a working prototype fast, but deploying to real users requires security hardening, environment setup, and proper configuration. Here's the full checklist.
Replit makes deployment easy — but 'deployed' isn't the same as 'production-ready.' Here's how to harden your Replit app for real users, and when it makes sense to migrate off Replit hosting.
v0 generates beautiful React components — but components aren't a product. Here's how to add a backend, wire up auth, and deploy your v0 app to production on Vercel.
You've built an app with AI tools but it needs professional work before launch. Here's how to find the right developer, what to look for, and what to expect.
A step-by-step guide to launching your vibe-coded app on Product Hunt — from technical preparation to launch day execution and the first week after.
Step-by-step guide to taking your AI-built app from working prototype to production. Covers security, error handling, database hardening, deployment, monitoring, and launch.
A practical checklist to evaluate whether your vibe-coded app is ready for real users. Score yourself honestly — then decide what to fix.
Lovable makes building fast. But the code it generates has predictable security gaps. Here's what our developers find in every audit — and how to fix them.
You built the app. It works. Nobody's using it. Here's why most AI-built apps fail at distribution — and a practical playbook to get your first 100 users.
A five-phase checklist for taking any vibe-coded app from prototype to production. Covers security, reliability, code quality, deployment, and launch readiness — with links to tool-specific guides.
AI coding tools make building easy, but they often generate insecure code. Here's what to check before your app goes live.
Vibe coding means building apps by describing what you want to AI tools like Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, and Replit. Here's what it is, how it works, and where it breaks down.
Cursor generates impressively functional code. But functional isn't the same as production-ready. Here's what experienced developers flag in code reviews.
AI coding tools build for the happy path. Here are the 7 most common reasons vibe-coded apps crash in production, and what to do about each one.
