A Plain-English Launch Checklist for AI-Built Apps
A simple checklist for checking whether your vibe-coded app is ready to share with real users.
What this checklist is for
Use this before you share your app publicly. It helps you find the boring but important launch details that decide whether people can actually use what you built.
Public link
Your app should have a stable link that works for people outside your computer. A preview link is fine for early testing. A real domain is better when you want trust, SEO, and customers.
- The link opens without your laptop.
- The page uses HTTPS, so the browser shows it as secure.
- The domain name is easy to remember.
User journey
Test the main thing a visitor should do. If the app helps users create a plan, submit a form, upload a file, pay, or chat with AI, test that exact journey from beginning to end.
Search and trust
If you want people to find the app from Google, the public page needs a clear title, description, useful content, and pages Google can crawl. If the page only says "coming soon" or hides everything after login, search engines have little to understand.
Short checklist
- The app has a working public link.
- The home page explains who it helps.
- The app works on mobile.
- Forms, login, email, payments, or AI features are tested live.
- The title and description are clear for Google.
- There is a way for users to contact you.
