Built with Same.dev?
Let's make sure it's production-ready.
Same.dev is an AI tool that clones any existing website and rebuilds it as a new React application. It scrapes visual structure and styling to generate full Vite or Next.js codebases from live sites. We help non-technical founders identify and fix the issues AI tools leave behind.
Common issues we find in Same.dev code
These are real problems we see in Same.dev projects during our audits — not hypotheticals.
Cloned design may violate original site's copyright
Same.dev reproduces visual layouts, color schemes, and component structures from existing sites. Using a competitor's or commercial site's design as your starting point can constitute copyright infringement or unfair competition.
No backend or API layer generated
Same.dev clones frontend presentation only. Navigation links, forms, and interactive elements exist in the UI but have no server, database, or API behind them — everything requires backend implementation from scratch.
Scraped content and assets need full replacement
Generated codebases contain the original site's text, images, and media as placeholder content. Shipping with scraped third-party assets is a licensing violation and a branding problem.
Broken interactions from missing state management
Dropdowns, modals, carousels, and tabs are rendered structurally but wired to no logic. Interactive elements appear functional in the UI but do nothing on click.
Redundant CSS and unused component bloat
The cloning process generates verbose, un-deduplicated styles and component definitions for every visual variation observed on the source site, inflating bundle size significantly.
No deployment configuration included
Same.dev outputs component code without build scripts, environment variable management, or CI/CD setup. Deploying requires configuring a separate hosting pipeline from the ground up.
Zero testing infrastructure
No test framework, no test files, and no CI pipeline are generated. There is no mechanism to verify that your customizations don't break the cloned structure.
Deeply nested component hierarchy from scraping
The DOM-to-component translation process creates deeply nested, single-use wrapper components that mirror HTML structure rather than React best practices.

Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to clone a website with Same.dev?
It depends on the source site. Cloning open-source or your own sites is fine. Cloning a competitor's or commercial site's design to build a competing product creates real copyright and trademark risk. We recommend using Same.dev for structural inspiration, then replacing all design, content, and assets before launch.
Can SpringCode add a backend to my Same.dev project?
Yes. This is the most common need for Same.dev projects — the frontend exists but nothing works end-to-end. We add databases, authentication, APIs, and payment processing to the generated codebase.
How do I deploy a Same.dev-generated app?
Same.dev outputs Vite or Next.js projects that deploy to Vercel, Netlify, or Cloudflare Pages. We set up the full deployment pipeline including environment variables, custom domains, and SSL.
How much work is it to make a Same.dev clone production-ready?
Plan for significant backend work. The frontend is a useful starting point, but you need authentication, a real database, API routes, error handling, and original content. We scope and estimate after reviewing your specific project.
Can SpringCode review and clean up Same.dev output?
Yes. We audit the generated code for copyright risks, replace placeholder content, remove unused components, and restructure the codebase into maintainable patterns.
