For the Vibe-Coding Refugee

Your prototype proved it can work.We'll build it so it actually does.

Stuck at the 70% wall with a Lovable, Bolt, or Cursor build that breaks on auth, security, or payments? Send it over. We'll show you what to keep and what to rebuild — and ship a production-grade version in days.

What is vibe-code rescue?

Vibe-code rescue takes an AI-generated prototype that has stalled — usually on authentication, database security, or payments — and gets it to production. PixelFuel audits your Lovable/Bolt/Cursor build in 48 hours, tells you what carries forward and what to rebuild, then ships a production-grade version in days. You own the code.

How the rescue works

1. 48-Hour Prototype Audit (free). Send us your Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or v0 project. You get a written Build Readiness Report: what carries forward, what gets rebuilt, a complexity score, and the top risks hiding in the codebase.

2. Spark (if you want a plan first). A one-week paid discovery that turns the audit into a fixed-price, fixed-scope rebuild plan you own.

3. Sprint. We rebuild the foundation in a framework that scales and ship a production-grade version — fixed fee, fixed timeline, code yours on day one.

FAQ

What is vibe-code rescue?

Vibe-code rescue is taking an AI-generated prototype (from Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, or Replit) that has stalled — usually on authentication, database security, or payments — and getting it to a production-ready state. PixelFuel treats your prototype as the brief, keeps what works, and rebuilds the foundation properly.

Do you start over from scratch?

No. Your idea, your designs, your user flows, and your validation all carry forward — that is the work that matters. What gets rebuilt is the codebase foundation that cannot scale or is not secure. The 48-hour audit tells you exactly what we keep and what we rebuild before any larger commitment.

Can you really read AI-generated code?

Yes. We use Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, and Claude Code natively, so reading an AI-generated codebase is the input to our process, not a reason to dismiss it. We assess the auth model, database/RLS rules, payment integration, and the parts most likely to break under real users.

How fast can you ship a production version?

Most rescues ship a production-grade version in days, not months, using The PixelFuel Method. Exact timeline depends on scope, which we lock — fixed fee, fixed scope, fixed timeline — before we start.

Do I own the code?

Yes. You own 100% of the code, with repository access from day one and full IP transfer. No lock-in to PixelFuel or to any AI builder tool.
