The core loop is small enough for a capable coding agent to produce a useful local version in one sitting. For Unicorn Platform, assemble a startup landing page from constrained components and export static code. The hard boundary is template polish, hosted publishing, forms, and ai copy convenience, plus editor polish, hosting, templates, and ecosystem.

# Unicorn Platform indie build

## Goal

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

## Scope

Assemble a startup landing page from constrained components, edit copy and media, preview breakpoints, and export static code or publish to a user-owned target.

## 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:
- template polish, hosted publishing, forms, and AI copy convenience
- large template marketplace
- managed hosting and CDN
- advanced CMS
- commerce and agency workflows

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

why people still pay

People still pay for Unicorn Platform because the page renderer is reproducible, but customers pay to avoid becoming their own hosting and browser-compatibility team. The recurring cost buys responsive rendering, forms, domains, certificates, deploys, backups, template maintenance, and browser regressions, not just the visible interface.
