14 Days with Durable: What Held Up and What Broke Down
Durable built a full salon site in one sitting. I gave it 14 more days on the same brief: copy fix-ups, billing fine print, and what broke by day 14.

Elena Kovács turns vague claims into timed experiments. Instead of asking whether a tool is “good”, she sets a budget, a deadline and a concrete outcome — one live website, one working store, one published blog — and reports what came out the other side, including the cost and the parts that had to be done manually.
She reviews primarily for solo founders who will use these tools with no developer on call. Her series of check-ins publishes as the experiment goes: what worked on day 1, what broke on day 5, and what the final invoice looked like. If a platform quietly limits something after signup, that is exactly the kind of detail the check-ins exist to catch.
