✓Clear the package-lock.json and node_modules, then ask Replit Agent to reinstall dependencies. Specify exact package versions if conflicts persist between frontend and backend requirements.
✓Export Lovable components and use Cursor to wire API fetch calls with the correct Replit deployment URL. Ensure CORS headers are configured on the Replit server to accept requests from the frontend origin.
✓Update all authentication redirect URLs, session secrets, and cookie domain settings for the production environment. Use environment variables instead of hardcoded values for all auth configuration.
Alex had a marketplace concept validated through customer interviews but lacked the $30-50K budget for a traditional development agency. Using voice descriptions with Replit Agent, Alex scaffolded the backend with user profiles, listing creation, search, and messaging in 3 days. Lovable-dev generated the polished frontend with a modern dashboard, search interface, and profile cards. Cursor handled the integration, added Stripe payment processing, and fixed edge cases. The total build time from concept to deployed MVP was 12 working days at a fraction of traditional development costs.
