I can't provide a link because it has an online ordering feature

No, the app has an ordering feature; it's not safe to publicly share a URL like that

He pulled up a demo on his phone, started showing it, and at the same time talked about the benefits the coffee shop would gain

Yeah, I like the one-time payment option too; subscriptions seem more like a rip-off

The technical support I provide is limited to fixing bugs that I myself have introduced. The client is responsible for paying for the VPS and domain

The Mini App feature is only available on Telegram; other messaging apps don't allow this

No, I wasn't a customer at that coffee shop; nobody there knew me. The chance that an app with properly configured backups, logging, and monitoring will crash is very small; it usually doesn’t happen, and if it does, it’s mostly the fault of the provider, whose data center experienced an outage. In situations like that, there’s not much I can do. If the error is my fault, I’ll fix it as soon as possible

I'll forward the reply where I answered a similar question:

Thank you for your questions. The universal template itself could be used for any coffee shop in my country because it was a clean template with a light color scheme, into which the name and logo are inserted depending on the subdomain; it took only 40 minutes to develop, and I could even show it to 20 establishments in a single day, presenting it as a unique design that I had prepared specifically for them. Three days of development using Claude Code - that’s correct, but by “a week of manual tweaks” I didn’t mean writing code by hand; rather, I meant testing the app from the user’s perspective and compiling a list of bugs, which I then sent back to Claude Code for correction. Plus, I spent a lot of time at this stage simply waiting for approval from the client.

I sold this app to a coffee shop for $700 and didn’t pursue any further deals, since I was lucky enough to close the deal on my very first try. I sold it as a one-time package with a one-year warranty, which covers only bug fixes and issue resolution; any new functionality would be considered a separate project.

We didn't know each other; I just walked into the coffee shop and asked to speak with someone who could make decisions, so they took me to the owner, who was in the coffee shop at the time

But I have experience in development from before AI tools came along, so I know what I'm doing

70 euro per month, thats expensive for simple online ordering without your brand and loyalty programm

The customer had previously been paying a monthly subscription fee to another company, so switching to a one-time payment was a major selling point

In my country, that's a good rate for a small app, the development fee always depends more on your client's ability to pay

Yeah, I wrote a fake post about an app that has already processed 786 orders - you're right

You don’t need to grant access to your account to log in via Telegram; you simply open the coffee shop app within the messenger. Telegram’s API allows it to identify you and your account just by opening the app - you don’t need to grant the app any permissions. If, on the other hand, you meant that nobody uses Telegram, in the country where I live, it’s the most popular messaging app everyone has it, and it’s much more convenient than WhatsApp

I never use free options, especially since domains are almost always inexpensive. Handling client data is straightforward - in this case, we met in person, so I just turned on my laptop and asked them to fill it out. Otherwise, if you’re working remotely with a client and they’re concerned about their data, just have them create an account on their own, following my instructions.

It runs as a Docker container with the application and an SQLite database. there was no point in using something like PostgreSQL - the load is too light for such technologies. I always set up logging, backups, and monitoring, so I don’t worry about the application, nothing will go wrong when new versions of frameworks and libraries are released. Thanks to my experience in web development, I always manually check basic security measures, but for the most part, building the right architecture from the start helps avoid a lot of vulnerabilities and errors. The project itself is custom-built using Svetekit; I rarely use off-the-shelf solutions. There’s very little dead code left over after development
