Built my app with Lovable a few months ago. Launch went fine but since then I've had three separate production issues; auth breaking, database timeouts, a webhook that silently fails. Each one took me days to figure out and I have zero engineering background.
Curious what others are doing. Are you just patching it yourself, hiring freelancers each time, or has anyone found something more ongoing? I've been wondering if a monthly retainer for this kind of support would actually be worth it or if that's just me.
Lately I ve been wondering whether the one AI tool builds the whole product idea is actually what people want.
For a simple website or SaaS-style app, the workflow often ends up looking like this:
UI in one tool, backend somewhere else, auth/payment setup in another place, deployment on a different platform, and maybe an admin dashboard built separately.
That gives you flexibility, but it can also get messy fast especially for non-technical founders, small teams, or people trying to validate an idea quickly.
