Revive Your Vibe-Coded App
From stalled to shipping again.
Some abandoned apps are closer to shipping than they look. Others need a reset. We’ll figure out which situation you’re in, and lay out the most direct route to a working product.
If this sounds familiar...
You're in the right place.
- ✕ The project worked once. Now nothing builds and you're not sure why.
- ✕ The original developer is no longer in the picture.
- ✕ You've got an outdated dependency mess that won't install.
- ✕ There's a half-finished feature blocking everything else.
- ✕ You're not sure if the codebase is worth saving, and nobody will give you a straight answer.
Here's what you get:
Honest assessment
A written report on the state of the codebase, what's recoverable, what isn't, and our recommendation: revive or restart.
Working build
We get the app installing, building, and running locally.
Working deploy
We get a deployed environment back up so you can see and share the app again.
Triaged backlog
A short list of what to fix next and in what order.
Stack updates
Libraries, packages, runtimes, and platforms updated to current, supported versions.
Restart plan (if needed)
If the honest answer is 'restart,' we lay out a phased plan that reuses what's worth saving and skips what isn't.
Process
How we work
- 01
Assess
We spend the first few days getting the project to run, reading what's there, and figuring out what's actually broken vs. just out of date.
- 02
Decide together
Based on the assessment, we tell you your options and help you choose the best path forward.
- 03
Stabilize
We get the app building and running cleanly. The goal is a working baseline you can build forward from.
- 04
Hand off shipping
We document the state, hand you a prioritized backlog, and stay reachable while you start shipping again.

Common questions
What if you assess my project and tell me to start over?
Then we tell you, with reasoning. You only pay for the assessment in that case, and we'll happily help with the restart if you want.
How old is too old?
Almost no project is too old to revive. We've brought back projects that hadn't been touched in years. The harder question is usually whether it's worth reviving as-is, or starting fresh on a current stack.
I don't have access to the original developer or accounts. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily. As long as you have the source code and the deployment accounts, we can usually work from there. If pieces are missing, we'll tell you what we'd need to recover them.
Can you pick up where an AI coding tool left off?
Yes — that's an increasingly common starting point.
