Question 1

Can you finish a Lovable app and take it to production?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We audit the repo and Supabase project in two business days, fix security and auth first, reconcile migrations, harden edge functions, set up a real deploy on your domain, and hand it over documented. Most Lovable rescues take two to four weeks.

Question 2

Why does sign-in work in Lovable's preview but not on my domain?

Accepted Answer

Supabase's Site URL and redirect allow-list are still set to the preview URL, and any OAuth provider still has the old callback. It's configuration, not code — but it must be set per environment and tested for magic link, OAuth and password reset on the real domain and on a phone.

Question 3

I enabled RLS and the app went blank. What happened?

Accepted Answer

Enabling row-level security without policies denies everything. The fix is per-table policies keyed to auth.uid() for select, insert, update and delete, tested with two real users. The dangerous alternative — policies of USING (true) — makes the app work by making every row public.

Question 4

Can you move my app off Lovable Cloud to my own Supabase?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We create a Supabase project in your organisation, migrate schema, data, auth users and storage, re-point the app and verify every flow. You then own the infrastructure directly.

Question 5

Why can't Google or ChatGPT see my Lovable site's pages?

Accepted Answer

Lovable ships a client-rendered single-page app: the HTML is empty until JavaScript runs, and most crawlers and AI engines read the empty HTML. The fix is server-rendering or pre-rendering the public routes. We did this for our own site, which began as a Lovable project.

Question 6

Do I have to stop using Lovable after you fix it?

Accepted Answer

No. We keep the GitHub sync. What changes is that fixes live in version control with review, so Lovable's regeneration can't silently undo them. Use Lovable for new screens and features; use the repo for the parts that must not move.

Question 7

Do you keep the Supabase edge functions or rewrite them?

Accepted Answer

Usually keep. Most need secrets set properly, real error handling, a timeout and logging — not a rewrite. We rewrite only where business logic has been scattered across client, function and SQL with no pattern.

Question 8

How much does it cost to finish a Lovable app?

Accepted Answer

The audit is a fixed price; the rescue is a fixed quote produced by the audit. Cost tracks how much of the core flow already works and how much of the Supabase setup has to be corrected. A realistic range comes out of a short call before the audit.

What breaks	Why it happens in Lovable	What we do
Row-level security (RLS)	Lovable creates tables quickly; policies are either missing (data is public to any logged-in user) or written as `USING (true)` so the demo works.	Write per-table policies keyed to `auth.uid()`, test them with two real users, and add a policy-coverage check so a new table can't ship open.
Auth on a custom domain	Supabase Site URL and redirect allow-list still point at the Lovable preview URL; OAuth providers still have the old callback.	Set Site URL and redirect URLs per environment, update every OAuth provider's callback, test magic link, OAuth and password reset on the real domain and on a phone.
Edge function secrets and errors	Secrets set in the Lovable UI aren't set in the Supabase project; functions swallow errors and return 200 with nothing.	Move secrets to Supabase function secrets per environment, add real error responses and logging, add a timeout and a retry where an upstream API is called.
Service-role key in the client	A prompt asked for an admin feature and the model reached for the key that makes it work.	Rotate the key, move privileged operations into an edge function with its own checks, keep only the anon key in the browser.
Schema drift	Columns added in the Supabase dashboard never became a migration; the repo's migration folder is months stale.	Diff dashboard against repo, capture the true schema as versioned migrations, run migrations in deploy so environments stop diverging.
Search engines see nothing	Lovable ships a client-rendered single-page app. The initial HTML is empty; crawlers and AI engines read the empty file.	Server-render or pre-render the public routes. We did exactly this for our own site — a Lovable project now served as SSR on Cloudflare with full HTML for every crawler.
Regeneration loops	Each fix prompt re-generates whole components; earlier fixes get overwritten.	Move fixes into version control with review; use Lovable for new features, not for surgical edits it can't see.
Storage buckets wide open	Bucket created public so uploads would display in the demo.	Private buckets with signed URLs; policies on storage.objects; size and type limits on upload.
Lovable Cloud vs your own Supabase	The app runs on Lovable-managed infrastructure and nobody knows how to move it or who owns the data.	Migrate to a Supabase project in your organisation, move auth users and storage, re-point the app, verify.

Signal	Fix	Rebuild
Supabase schema	Sensible tables with foreign keys	Everything in one table, or five tables for one concept
Auth	Supabase Auth in use, needs configuration	Custom auth invented in the client
Edge functions	A few, each doing one job	Business logic split across client, functions and SQL with no pattern
Component sprawl	Large but consistent	The same screen exists three times with different names
Public content	Needs SSR/pre-render for SEO	Fine as SPA if there's no public content — no rebuild needed
