Keep Improving Your App

8 min readJanuary 14, 2026By Spawned Team

How to make changes after your first version. Request updates, fix bugs, and add new features.

The Iteration Loop

Building software is never "done." The best apps improve continuously based on feedback and new ideas.

Making Changes

Open your project in the builder and describe what to change:

"Move the signup button to the top right corner"

"Add a dark mode toggle"

"Change the pricing from monthly to annual"

The AI applies changes to your existing code rather than rebuilding from scratch.

Handling Feedback

When users report issues or request features:

  1. Understand the request - What problem are they trying to solve?
  2. Describe it clearly - "Users want to export their data as CSV"
  3. Test the change - Make sure it works and doesn't break anything
  4. Deploy - Push to production

Version Control

Your code is in GitHub, which tracks every change. If something breaks:

  • View the commit history to see what changed
  • Revert to a previous version if needed
  • Compare versions to understand differences

A/B Testing Ideas

Not sure which design is better? Try both:

  1. Create version A
  2. Create version B in a branch
  3. Deploy both and measure which performs better
  4. Keep the winner

Performance Optimization

As your app grows, optimize:

"Make images load lazily"

"Add caching for the product list"

"Reduce the bundle size"

Common Iteration Patterns

After launch:

  • Fix bugs users report
  • Simplify confusing UI
  • Add the most-requested feature

After growth:

  • Improve performance
  • Add more payment options
  • Build admin tools

After feedback:

  • Rework flows that confuse users
  • Add help text where needed
  • Improve error messages
