The Vibe Coding Launch Checklist for AI-built apps.
Practical, evidence-based checks for SEO and AI search, accessibility, security headers, mobile UX, privacy and database safety — everything you need to turn a working demo into a launch-ready website or app.
This is a launch checklist for AI-built apps, Lovable apps, Bolt apps, Cursor projects, Replit apps and indie SaaS products.

PageLens AI launch demo
From hacked demo risk to launch-ready workflow.
This is the place for the questions AI builders search after the app appears to work: how to avoid leaking keys, how to protect database rows, how to proxy sensitive routes, how to run checks, and how to give an agent useful repair prompts.
Prompts you can use today
Review this app as an adversarial pre-launch QA reviewer. Do not edit code yet.
Find every route that costs money, sends email, creates records, calls AI APIs, or triggers side effects.
Audit this app for exposed secrets and environment variable misuse. Treat client-side exposure as a launch blocker.
Use this PageLens AI Markdown report as a prioritized repair checklist grouped by risk and effort.
