Built a developer tool with Create.xyz?
We'll make it production-ready.
Developer tools face the most technically demanding audience there is — other developers. They'll inspect your source code, stress-test your API, and publicly criticize performance issues on Twitter. AI tools can scaffold a CLI, dashboard, or API wrapper quickly, but developer tools need exceptional error messages, comprehensive documentation, and rock-solid reliability because your users know exactly how software should work.
Developer Tool challenges in Create.xyz apps
Building a developer tool with Create.xyz is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Error messages and developer experience
Developers expect error messages that tell them exactly what went wrong, why, and how to fix it. AI-generated tools return generic 'Something went wrong' messages or raw stack traces. Good DX means every error is actionable and every edge case has a helpful response.
API design and consistency
Developer tools live or die by their API surface — whether REST endpoints, CLI arguments, or SDK methods. Naming must be consistent, behavior must be predictable, and breaking changes must be versioned. AI tools generate functional but inconsistent APIs that frustrate developers.
Documentation and examples
Developers won't use your tool if they can't figure it out quickly. You need API reference docs, getting-started guides, code examples in multiple languages, and a changelog. AI tools build the tool but not the documentation ecosystem around it.
Performance and latency
Developer tools are often in the critical path of other developers' workflows — slow API responses, laggy CLIs, or unresponsive dashboards directly waste their time. Every millisecond matters. AI-generated tools have unoptimized database queries and no caching.
Authentication and API key management
Developer tools need API key generation, key rotation, scoped permissions per key, usage tracking, and rate limiting. AI tools implement a single hardcoded API key or basic bearer tokens without any key lifecycle management.
Webhook and integration reliability
If your tool sends webhooks or integrates with other services, deliveries must be reliable — with retry logic, delivery logging, signature verification, and a way for users to test and debug integrations. AI tools fire-and-forget webhooks with no reliability guarantees.
What we check in your Create.xyz developer tool
Common Create.xyz issues we fix
Beyond developer tool-specific issues, these are Create.xyz patterns we commonly fix.
No authentication — all generated apps are fully public with no user accounts
Create.xyz generates functional applications without any authentication system. Every page, API endpoint, and data resource is accessible to anyone with the URL, making it unsuitable for any application that handles user-specific or private data.
Hardcoded data and mock API responses replace real database or API integration
Generated applications use static JavaScript arrays or hardcoded JSON as data sources. There is no real database integration — data does not persist between sessions, is visible in source code, and resets on every page reload.
No input validation or sanitization on generated form and API handlers
Form submissions and API routes in Create.xyz-generated code process user input directly without validation, type checking, or sanitization, making them vulnerable to injection attacks and malformed data that breaks the application.
Error handling is absent — unhandled exceptions produce blank screens or cryptic errors
Generated application code lacks try/catch blocks, error boundary components, and meaningful error messages. When an API call fails or unexpected input arrives, the application either crashes silently or shows a raw JavaScript error to the user.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a developer tool with Create.xyz?
Create.xyz is a great starting point for a developer tool. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but developer tools have specific requirements — error messages and developer experience and api design and consistency — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Create.xyz leave in developer tools?
Common issues include: no authentication — all generated apps are fully public with no user accounts, hardcoded data and mock api responses replace real database or api integration, no input validation or sanitization on generated form and api handlers. For a developer tool specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for error messages and developer experience.
How do I make my Create.xyz developer tool production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Create.xyz-built developer tools, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Create.xyz-built developer tool?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger developer tool projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
