FAQ

Before you point.

Still unsure? Ask in the prompt box. Pablo answers those too.

Is there really a human?

Yes. Pablo, a senior full-stack developer, scopes every project, supervises the AI agents that do much of the typing, reviews every change, and signs off on every deploy.

I have a stuck Lovable, Bolt or v0 app. Can you finish it?

That's what Rescue is for. Point us at the project and you get a fixed price to get it working, secured, and deployed.

Do I own the code?

Yes. It lives in your GitHub and deploys to your account. No lock-in.

What does fixed price cover?

Everything in the written spec. Want more? We quote the change before anyone builds it.

What happens after launch?

Care keeps it hosted, monitored and patched for $99/mo. Bigger changes go through Dev Lane or a new quote.

Why “RefPointer”?

Your idea is a pointer: a link, a screenshot, a spec. We dereference it into a running app.

What are you pointing at?

Free to ask. Fixed quote in 48 hours. Built and shipped by a real developer.
