Copy Cite Me?
YES · one-prompt build
Instant citations for academic researchers
Build me a Education web app like Cite Me. Cite Me does: Instant citations for academic researchers It reportedly makes about $135/mo, so the core idea clearly has demand — I want a lean version I can run and charge for. Build it from scratch with a modern stack (Next.js + Tailwind + a simple database). Keep it shippable in a weekend. Requirements: - Nail the single core loop that Cite Me is known for — build that end to end first. - The main dashboard/workspace where users do the primary task, with sensible empty states. - Any AI step that makes it feel modern (generate, summarize, or automate the tedious part). - Data persistence, search/filter, and a clean history/list view. Also: - Clean, modern, responsive UI with a thoughtful landing page. - Email/password auth and a simple paid tier (Stripe test mode) so it's ready to charge. - A README covering setup, environment variables, and how to deploy. Ship a working MVP I can run locally first, then help me deploy it.

How much does Cite Me make?
Around $135/mo based on public revenue data. That's the whole point of CopyMRR — you're copying something with proven demand, not guessing.

No clean open-source match, so the prompt builds it from scratch on a modern stack. Still a weekend project.
