A consolation build is possible, but the paid product's decisive value sits outside a solo rebuild. For Oncrawl, crawl one owned site locally and join pages to user-supplied analytics exports. The hard boundary is large-scale crawler, log analysis, data connectors, and enterprise support, plus crawl scale, rule depth, and operational polish.

# Oncrawl indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Oncrawl workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Crawl one owned site locally, inspect HTML and rendered pages, join pages to user-supplied analytics exports, explain prioritized issues, and export a reproducible audit.

## 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:
- large-scale crawler, log analysis, data connectors, and enterprise support
- massive hosted crawl capacity
- proprietary scoring
- continuous monitoring
- agency reporting and support

If those capabilities are essential, use SEOnaut instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

People still pay for Oncrawl because a crawler is buildable; professionals pay for years of edge-case handling and reports they can trust with clients. The recurring cost buys robots handling, rendering, canonicalization, deduplication, crawl traps, rule maintenance, scheduling, storage, and false positives, not just the visible interface.
