The App Worked. The Launch Wasn't Ready. So I Built LaunchLazy

Description and use

LaunchLazy is a local launch‑readiness auditor that scans a project for missing documentation, environment files, build scripts, CORS settings, and hard‑coded localhost URLs, scores readiness, prioritizes risks, and provides AI‑assisted explanations via Qwen 2.5 on Ollama.

Problem

Developers often forget basic launch‑ready checks such as missing README, environment files, build scripts, CORS settings, and hard‑coded localhost URLs, leading to incomplete deployments.

Outcome

LaunchLazy achieved a 28/100 readiness score on a demo project, identified 7 automated risks including missing build/test setup, undocumented Python dependencies, hard‑coded localhost URL, and missing deployment configuration.

Workflow

• Paste project path into LaunchLazy
• Scanner walks filesystem once to collect facts
• Risk engine scores verified findings
• Qwen 2.5 via Ollama generates explanations and next actions
• User reviews score, risks, and report
• Developer fixes high‑priority issues first

Evidence

LaunchLazy checks things like README quality, environment files, .gitignore, build scripts, tests, dependency files, localhost URLs, CORS settings, basic secret patterns, and deployment configuration.

Source

It then gives a readiness score, priority level, affected files, recommended fixes, and a downloadable report.

Source

LaunchLazy checks project structure and configuration for issues such as: missing README documentation, missing environment variable templates, missing or weak .gitignore, missing build scripts, missing test scripts, missing Node lockfiles, undocumented Python dependencies, hard‑coded localhost URLs, risky wildcard CORS configuration, possible hard‑coded secrets, missing deployment configuration.
