Finish my
Bolt app.
Bolt produces a polished, working front end remarkably quickly, and the result genuinely looks like a finished product in a demo. What it leaves undone is the part that decides whether you can charge money for the result. We audit the project, fix the gaps below, and take it to launch. Fixed price from $8,000, 2–6 weeks.
Typical stack: React/Vite front end, back end frequently mocked
What we find in Bolt projects.
Recurring patterns from the audits we run. Not every project has all of them, and most have at least three.
The back end is a mock
Data lives in component state or localStorage. It looks like a working app until you open it on a second device and everything you entered is gone.
Authentication is simulated
A login form sets a flag. There is no session, no token verification and no server-side check, so any protected route can be reached by typing its URL.
No server-side validation
Rules live in the form. Anything hitting the API directly bypasses them: negative quantities, prices from the client, missing required fields.
Payments are UI only
A checkout screen exists. No Stripe account, no webhook, no record of who paid — money either never moves or moves with nothing to reconcile it against.
No error or loading states
Requests are assumed to succeed. On a slow connection the interface freezes; on a failure it shows nothing at all.
How it works.
Audit
We read the code, the database rules and the accounts, then send you a written list of what is broken, what is dangerous, and what is fine. You get this whether or not you hire us for the fix.
Fixed scope and price
You get one number and one date, in writing. No hourly meter, no discovery phase that bills while nothing ships.
The hard 20%
Security, payments, auth, data, edge cases, performance. Working software in your hands every week, not status updates.
Launch
Product Hunt page, demo video, screenshots, analytics and SEO foundation. We are there on launch day and for the first fixes after.
$8,000and up
Typical project $8k–$25k
Timeline: 2–6 weeks
Everything moves into your accounts, so you own the code and the data. Built by Dan Marteens, 11 years of senior engineering, Orlando, Florida.
Bolt questions.
My Bolt app looks finished — why is it not?
Because Bolt optimises for the visible layer, and that layer is genuinely good. What is usually missing sits behind it: a real database instead of local state, sessions instead of a boolean, server-side validation, and a payment integration that actually records transactions. The app can look complete and still store nothing.
Do you keep the Bolt design?
Yes, that is the part worth keeping. We build the real back end behind the interface you already have, so the product your users see does not change while it becomes something you can safely charge for.
How long does it take to finish a Bolt app?
Two to six weeks for most projects, depending on how much back end is missing. The audit tells you exactly which parts are real and which are mocked before you commit.
