Vibecode Iubenda
track this build5 steps, step by step0%A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For Iubenda, maintain versioned privacy-policy and consent records for qualified review. The hard boundary is legal content updates, consent management, scanning, jurisdiction coverage, and compliance operations, plus expert judgment, compliance, and regulated services.
You are building a lean indie version of Iubenda. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # Iubenda indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Iubenda workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Collect facts, fill clearly labeled privacy-policy and consent templates, track versions and approvals, and repeatedly state that the output requires qualified legal review. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - legal content updates, consent management, scanning, jurisdiction coverage, and compliance operations - legal advice - jurisdictional assurance - filing and registered-agent network - continuous regulatory monitoring and liability If those capabilities are essential, use docassemble instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build a closest honest personal substitute for Iubenda in an empty repository. Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Drizzle ORM, and a versioned Markdown template engine; do not offer alternative stacks. The core loop is: collect facts, fill clearly labeled privacy-policy and consent templates, track versions and approvals, and repeatedly state that the output requires qualified legal review. Make the first run work locally with one documented command. Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. Create versioned questionnaires, reusable fact fields, conditional sections, templates, and approval states. Show the source, jurisdiction, owner, reviewed date, and expiry date for every template. Generate DOCX and PDF drafts with prominent draft and review-required labels. Keep an immutable audit log of answers, template version, generation time, downloads, and approvals. Add role-based access, retention, export, encrypted backups, and a deadline calendar. Display legal-review warnings before generation and again before any final download. Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs. Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path. Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. Do not claim to reproduce proprietary data, network liquidity, regulated access, or frontier infrastructure. Deliberately leave out legal advice or guaranteed compliance. Deliberately leave out government filings, identity verification, and registered-agent services. Deliberately leave out automatic consent decisions or deployment without qualified review. Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. ## Required capabilities - self-hosted deployment - PostgreSQL - jurisdiction-specific templates supplied by the user or counsel - secure backup ## Delivery order 1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands. 2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow. 3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence. 4. Cover the critical path with automated tests. 5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step. ## Done when - A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README. - The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it. - Tests cover the highest-risk behavior. - Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden. ===== .env.example ===== # Copy to .env and document every variable when it is introduced. # Never put real credentials in this file. APP_ENV=development # Add only values required by the selected implementation.

Keep domain logic independent from delivery frameworks and vendors. ## Production baseline - Configuration: validated at startup with safe local defaults where possible. - Security: least privilege, input validation, secret redaction, rate limits on abuse-prone paths, and no invented security primitives. - Data: explicit schema and migrations, transactional writes where integrity matters, backup and restore instructions. - Integrations: adapters around third-party providers, idempotent webhook or job processing, bounded retries, and timeouts. - Observability: structured logs with request or operation IDs, an error-tracking hook, and health/readiness checks where a server exists. - Quality: unit tests for domain rules, integration tests at module boundaries, and one end-to-end critical-path test. ## Decision records For each major dependency, document why it was chosen, its failure mode, and how it can be replaced.

Contain the issue without destroying evidence or user data. 2. Record the timeline and affected scope. 3. Rotate exposed secrets and revoke compromised sessions or credentials. 4. Restore from a verified source when needed. 5. Document the root cause, remediation, and regression test. ## Launch constraint Do not market omitted Iubenda capabilities as implemented. The v1 non-goals in `PRODUCT.md` remain user-visible limitations until they are deliberately delivered.

People still pay for Iubenda because the durable value is expert accountability and regulated execution; document generation alone cannot supply either. The recurring cost buys law changes, jurisdiction, template provenance, access, signatures, filings, deadlines, evidence, retention, security, and professional liability, not just the visible interface.

Not really. Iubenda's value is not the code: Recheck price before merge. See the honest breakdown above.
How much does Iubenda cost?
Iubenda costs about $6.99/month (Essentials, checked 2026-07-31), which is $83.88 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Iubenda?
Honestly: legal content updates, consent management, scanning, jurisdiction coverage, and compliance operations; legal advice; jurisdictional assurance; filing and registered-agent network; continuous regulatory monitoring and liability. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Iubenda?
Yes: docassemble (Open-source expert-system platform for guided interviews and document assembly.). Using prior art is also vibecoding; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
