Walk through the whole app one last time - shippingszn launch readiness
A nitpicky end-to-end pass through your own product, looking for the small ugly stuff: typos, broken links, awkward loading states, white-screen 404s on URLs that don't exist, blank pages where data hasn't loaded yet, copy that sounds like an AI wrote it.
This is where good products separate from great ones. Users don't consciously notice polish, but they feel it as “this feels solid” or “this feels janky.”
The shippingszn CLI includes automated checks for this launch-readiness control.
The Launch Fix Kit keeps scan-specific findings, file and line evidence, AI-builder punch-list tasks, and verification steps tied to the paid report.
- Click every link, every button, every menu item. Note anything that goes nowhere or breaks.
- Visit a URL that doesn't exist on purpose (yourdomain.com/not-a-real-page). If you get a white screen or your hosting provider's default error page, build a real 404 — a page that says 'we couldn't find that' and links back home in one tap. Broken links, mistyped URLs, and old social shares all land here, and white screens send away visitors who took months to acquire.
- Refresh on a slow connection (browser dev tools can simulate one) — make sure loading states look intentional, not broken.
- Look at empty states (a brand-new account with no data) — design these on purpose, don't leave them blank.
- Read every piece of copy out loud. Cut every sentence you can. Replace AI tells ("Unleash the power of...", "In today's fast-paced world...") with how a real person actually talks.
