THE BUILD PROMPT

Build me a Design Tools web app like ShotLab.

ShotLab does: Make your screenshots stand out with stunning backgrounds, frames, drop shadows, cool stickers & more. It reportedly makes about $2/mo, so the core idea clearly has demand — I want a lean version I can run and charge for.

Start from the open-source project alyssaxuu/animockup (https://github.com/alyssaxuu/animockup) — reuse what fits, strip its branding, and build the specifics below on top of it.

Requirements:
- A canvas to create the asset (mockup/graphic/wireframe) with drag-and-drop elements.
- Templates, export to PNG/SVG, and a saved-projects library.

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.

Copy it into any coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf — or one-click into BuildCheap (imports the repo so you start from a running app).

Questions

Can I really build something like ShotLab?

Yes. ShotLab is a design tools product doing ~$2/mo — the core loop is well understood. With the prompt on this page and the open-source repo alyssaxuu/animockup as a base, a coding agent like Claude Code or BuildCheap can get you a working MVP in a weekend.

How much does ShotLab make?

Around $2/mo based on public revenue data. That's the whole point of CopyMRR — you're copying something with proven demand, not guessing.

What repo does this start from?

alyssaxuu/animockup (1,843★). "Clone & ship" imports it straight into BuildCheap so you start from a running app, then adapt it.

Is this affiliated with ShotLab?

No. CopyMRR indexes public revenue data and points you at open-source building blocks. Build your own thing — don't copy their brand or content.
