Built with AI or no-code and stuck before launch? Start with an audit — not a rebuild.

If you’ve built an application with AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit) or a no-code platform like Bubble, and development has stalled, FlatCoder can help you work out what you’ve got, fix what’s wrong, and finish it properly.

Start with an audit, not a rebuild

Many developers will look at an unfamiliar, part-built application and simply quote you for a rebuild. That’s often the most expensive option — and it throws away the months of work you’ve already put in.

The better first step is to establish what actually exists: what works, what doesn’t, what’s unfinished, and whether the foundations are sound. Then you can make an informed decision rather than an assumption.

What a FlatCoder Technical Audit delivers

A fixed-scope, fixed-fee review of your application. You receive a clear, written assessment covering:

  • What works, what doesn’t, and what’s simply unfinished
  • The state of the architecture, database and key business logic
  • Security and data-handling issues — authentication, authorisation, permissions and credentials
  • Where the application will struggle as users and data grow
  • Whether your current platform or codebase can carry you to launch — or where it can’t
  • A realistic, prioritised plan and estimate to complete the work

In short: you pay to find out what the problem is, before committing to any open-ended development.

How it works

  1. Initial conversation — free, no obligation. Tell me what you’ve built, what works, and where you’re stuck.
  2. Technical audit — fixed scope, fixed fee. I assess the application and deliver a written report and plan.
  3. Rescue & completion — optional, quoted from the audit. If you choose to proceed, I fix what’s blocking progress and complete the work — preserving what’s worth keeping and rebuilding only what genuinely needs it.

What I look at

Architecture, database design, business logic, security, testing, performance and maintainability — the engineering fundamentals that AI and no-code tools can race past.

Why FlatCoder

FlatCoder has been building bespoke software since 2010 — web applications, backend systems, databases, APIs, integrations and complex business logic.

I also research how AI coding agents actually behave, including the ways they quietly cut corners to appear successful. That’s precisely why independent verification matters for anything built quickly with AI: “it works” has to be demonstrated, not assumed.

Common questions

  • Will you make me rebuild? No — not unless there’s a genuine technical reason. The audit exists to preserve what’s worth keeping.
  • I used a no-code platform — can you still help? Usually, yes. Sometimes the right fix is to keep your interface and move the heavy logic into a proper backend behind an API.
  • Do you offer a fixed price to finish my app? Not before understanding it. The completion work is quoted from the audit’s findings, so the estimate is grounded in reality.

Tell me what you’ve built.

Hitting a roadblock doesn’t mean starting again. Let’s find out what can be saved.
