The problem AppLighter solves
AI coding agents have changed what's hard about shipping a mobile app. A year ago the bottleneck was writing the code and now the new bottleneck is what the agent is writing on top of. Vibe-code an app from scratch and you get the agent's confident best guess at architecture, design, and security: leaking API keys, hallucinated schemas, generic AI-shaped UI, RLS policies that don't exist, and a codebase that fights you the second it grows past the first feature.
AppLighter is the foundation that fixes this.
What's in the catalog
18 production-shaped templates covering taxi booking, fitness, e-learning, food delivery, real estate, AI travel planner, AI calorie counter, period tracker, chat and messaging, short video social, multi-vendor ecommerce, all-in-one marketplace, restaurant reservation, fashion store, grocery delivery, bus ticket booking, pet care and tracker, and weather apps.
How each template is built
Senior React Native engineers architected each template, typed contracts, semantic file paths, isolated domain layers. The Designers pixel-perfected every screen with design tokens, motion curves, typographic hierarchy, and full light and dark themes. Security review happened before release: RLS policies on every table reviewed line by line, every secret wrapped in an edge function, zero API keys in client bundles, auth flows penetration-tested, edge endpoints rate-limited.
Why your agent works better here
Every template ships agent-readable. Each repo has CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .cursorrules pre-committed, plus a documented architecture map and typed contracts at every API boundary. On top of that, six slash commands handle the work agents do over and over: /add-screen scaffolds new screens with design tokens wired up, /add-provider plugs in a new auth or payment provider behind the existing abstraction, /swap-backend migrates from Supabase to Drizzle or Neon without touching app code, /audit-security runs the security checklist locally, /rebrand walks the agent through tokens, logos, splash, and app icon, and /ship builds and submits to the App Store and Play Store with the right env and metadata.
The stack
React Native, Expo SDK 54, TypeScript, NativeWind, Reanimated, Expo Router. Backend on Vibecode DB — Supabase by default, with adapters for Drizzle and Neon. AI layer is bring-your-own-key, provider-agnostic, with streaming and tool use built in. Works first-class with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Product Launchpad
ProductLaunchpad is a launch platform for founders, indie hackers, and marketing teams who want consistent growth, not a short spike. Most platforms give you attention for a day. After that, your product disappears. ProductLaunchpad is built differently.

Idea Kiln
IdeaKiln is a platform for side projects, startup ideas, and build-in-public progress — designed to help good ideas get discovered instead of buried. Too many projects disappear into Notion docs, old tabs, or tweets that get one moment of attention and then vanish. IdeaKiln gives them a proper home where builders can share what they’re making and put it in front of people who actually care. It’s built for makers, indie hackers, and founders who want to show progress before everything is polished. Instead of waiting for the perfect launch, builders can submit their project, share updates, and give unfinished ideas a real chance to gain visibility, momentum, and feedback.
Cloudburn
CloudBurn is built for teams using Terraform or AWS CDK who want to prevent expensive infrastructure mistakes before they reach production. Most teams only discover AWS cost problems weeks late when the bill arrives and the infrastructure is already running. By then, the money is spent and fixing the issue is painful. CloudBurn changes this by bringing AWS cost visibility into code review, when changes are still easy to make. How it works: A developer opens a pull request with infrastructure changes in Terraform or AWS CDK CloudBurn automatically analyzes the changes using real-time AWS pricing A cost report is posted directly in the pull request, showing the monthly cost impact of each change The team reviews costs alongside code and adjusts before deployment What you get: Automatic cost analysis for every infrastructure pull request Real-time AWS pricing for your specific region Resource-level breakdowns showing old vs. new monthly costs Stop optimizing reactively.
