Built a real-time app with Create.xyz?
We'll make it production-ready.
Real-time apps — chat, live collaboration, multiplayer features, live dashboards — have fundamentally different technical requirements than standard request-response web apps. Users expect sub-second updates, offline handling, and reliable message delivery. AI tools can set up a basic WebSocket connection, but production real-time features need connection management, message ordering, conflict resolution, and infrastructure that scales with concurrent users.
Real-time App challenges in Create.xyz apps
Building a real-time app with Create.xyz is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Connection management and reconnection
WebSocket connections drop constantly — network switches, phone sleep, server deploys. AI tools open a connection but don't handle disconnection, reconnection, or missed messages during downtime. Users see stale data or lose messages without knowing it.
Message ordering and delivery guarantees
Messages must arrive in order and must not be lost. Network issues can deliver messages out of sequence or duplicate them. AI-generated real-time code has no message ordering, no deduplication, and no delivery confirmation — which means lost messages and confused users.
Conflict resolution in collaborative editing
When two users edit the same content simultaneously, whose changes win? AI tools implement 'last write wins,' which silently discards one user's work. Production collaboration needs operational transforms or CRDTs to merge concurrent edits correctly.
Scaling concurrent connections
Each WebSocket connection holds server resources. A single server can handle hundreds of connections, but thousands require load balancing with sticky sessions, a pub/sub layer (like Redis), and horizontal scaling. AI tools don't implement any of this.
Presence and typing indicators
Showing who's online, who's typing, and who's viewing a document requires frequent presence updates that can overwhelm your server. These updates need throttling, batching, and efficient broadcast — details AI tools skip entirely.
Message persistence and history
Real-time messages need to be stored for later retrieval — chat history, edit history, activity logs. AI tools send messages through WebSockets but don't persist them, so refreshing the page loses the entire conversation.
Security in real-time channels
Every WebSocket message needs authentication and authorization. Who can send messages to this channel? Who can read them? AI tools often create open WebSocket endpoints where anyone can listen to or inject messages into any conversation.
What we check in your Create.xyz real-time app
Common Create.xyz issues we fix
Beyond real-time app-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 real-time app with Create.xyz?
Create.xyz is a great starting point for a real-time app. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but real-time apps have specific requirements — connection management and reconnection and message ordering and delivery guarantees — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Create.xyz leave in real-time apps?
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 real-time app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for connection management and reconnection.
How do I make my Create.xyz real-time app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Create.xyz-built real-time apps, 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 real-time app?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger real-time app projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
