Responsive Layout Broken on Mobile in Lovable App
Your Lovable app looks fine on desktop but the layout is broken on mobile devices — content overflows the screen, text is too small to read, buttons are impossible to tap, or elements overlap each other.
Mobile users often make up 60-80% of web traffic. If your app doesn't work on phones, you're losing the majority of potential users. Common symptoms include horizontal scrolling, elements hidden off-screen, and navigation that's unusable on small screens.
The issues may vary between different phones and screen sizes, making it hard to identify a single root cause.
Error Messages You Might See
Layout shift detected
Content wider than viewport
Touch target too small
Common Causes
- Missing viewport meta tag — Without the viewport meta tag, mobile browsers render the page at desktop width and zoom out
- Fixed pixel widths — Elements have hardcoded pixel widths (e.g., width: 800px) instead of responsive units
- No media queries — The CSS doesn't adapt to different screen sizes
- Overflow not handled — Tables, images, or code blocks extend beyond the screen width
- Desktop-first design — AI generated a desktop layout and didn't consider mobile breakpoints
How to Fix It
- Verify viewport meta tag — Ensure your HTML head contains: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
- Use responsive units — Replace fixed pixel widths with percentages, vw/vh units, or max-width constraints
- Add overflow handling — Set overflow-x: hidden on the body, and overflow-x: auto on tables and code blocks
- Test with Chrome DevTools — Toggle device toolbar (Ctrl+Shift+M) to preview your app at different screen sizes
- Use Tailwind responsive prefixes — If using Tailwind CSS, add sm:, md:, lg: prefixes for responsive behavior

Full-stack developer specializing in React / Next.js / Node.js with 6+ years of experience. I've worked across various sectors including automotive (Reezocar/Société Générale), healthcare (Medical Link SaaS), and e-commerce (Glasman). I build web apps end-to-end, from architecture to production, with a focus on scalability, performance, and code quality. I also mentor junior developers and contribute to technical decisions and code reviews.
Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Caio Rodrigues
I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.

Over the past years, I’ve worked across startups and fast-moving teams, leading backend architecture, improving system reliability, and shipping products used by thousands of users. My strength is not just writing code — but connecting product vision, technical execution, and business impact.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Why does my app look different on different phones?
Different phones have different screen sizes, pixel densities, and browsers. You need responsive design that adapts to various dimensions. Test on at least iPhone SE (375px), iPhone 14 (390px), and a larger Android (412px).
Can I fix mobile layout without redesigning?
Often yes. Adding a viewport meta tag, setting max-width: 100% on images, and adding overflow-x: hidden can fix most basic issues. For complex layouts, you may need media queries.
