No persistence at all
State lives in React and vanishes on refresh. The app demos perfectly and cannot remember anything, which is usually discovered the first time it is shown to a real user.
App rescue · v0
v0 gave you an excellent interface attached to nothing
v0 is the best of these tools at generating a genuinely good-looking, well-structured frontend. It is also the one most likely to leave you with screens that look finished and a product that cannot store a single record.
What actually breaks
The four failures we see most in v0 builds
These are specific to v0. A rescue starts by working out which of them you have.
Auth that is a UI, not a system
A convincing sign-in screen with no session handling, no protected routes and no server-side checks. Anyone can navigate straight to a page that should be private.
Forms that go nowhere
Submit handlers that log to the console or hit a route that was never written. Every enquiry a founder thought they were collecting is gone.
Payments assumed rather than integrated
Pricing tables and checkout buttons with no Stripe integration, no webhook handling and no record of what anyone bought.
What we do
What a rescue includes
Scoped after the audit, so you see the plan and the price before anything is touched.
A real database and data model behind the screens you already have
Server-side authentication with genuinely protected routes
Working forms, validation and stored submissions
Stripe integration including webhooks and a source of truth for orders
Production deployment with environment configuration done properly

FAQ
v0 rescue questions
Do you keep the v0 design or start over?+
We keep it. The interface is normally the part v0 does well, and rebuilding it would waste the thing you actually got value from. The work is adding everything behind it.
How long does it take to make a v0 app real?+
It depends entirely on how many flows need a backend. A single core flow with auth, a database and payments is usually a scoped fixed-price build. The audit gives you the number before you commit.
What does the free audit actually include?+
We look at the real thing — the live app or the repository, not a description of it — and send back a written assessment within 24 hours: what is salvageable, what is not, what it would cost to get to production, and what we would do first. It is yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
Do I own the code after you fix it?+
Yes. You own the repository, the infrastructure and every account it runs on, with documentation and a handover. That is true of a rescue exactly as it is of a build.
Send us a v0 app and we will tell you what is wrong with it
No obligation, no deck. If it is not worth rescuing we will say so, and tell you what we would do instead.
