The best way to explain what I do is to show it. So I’m building a project in public: FitMatch, a marketplace that connects personal trainers with clients. I picked fitness because I’ve been training for 10 years. It’s a product I enjoy thinking about. 🧵

Because AI-generated code isn’t enough on its own. You have to understand what it’s doing to know whether the result will hold up over time.

Hi, I’m Nicola. I help founders turn no-code and AI-built MVPs into scalable products, or build them from scratch. FitMatch is how I show the way I work: every decision, explained. Follow along for the next steps 🤙🏼

Most Lovable apps leak their entire database, readable from the browser. No hacking needed. I'm a dev, I'll audit yours for free: exposed data, leaked keys, auth/storage red flags. Read-only, no access needed. Reply "audit" or drop your link 👇

If I can build my product with Lovable or Replit, do I still need a developer? A question I hear from non-technical founders more and more. Here's how I see it 🧵

Want a small, personal product? AI tools alone are perfectly fine. Want something built to last and grow in a healthy way? That's where you need someone technical. With AI that moment comes later than it used to. But it always comes.

The alternative is the market on the right. You choose the ingredients, you know what is inside, and there is an actual person who helps you. That is classic engineering: more effort up front, and yes, you have to learn to cook.

It is also what keeps a product healthy for years instead of weeks. What do you think? If you are using these tools, how are you finding them?

Public coupon platforms promise reach, but they often saturate the market and leave brands with little control. Cupis is the closed alternative: private offers for verified employees at partner companies in Spain.

Under the hood, the parts I enjoyed most: • CSV import of 50,000 unique codes per offer, without slowing down admins or employees. • Visibility rules by company, industry, and brand. • Per-coupon analytics and direct clicks to the brand's site.
