The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Leadpages, build conversion-focused landing pages and connect form submissions to email. The hard boundary is hosting, templates, experiments, integrations, and lead-delivery reliability, plus editor polish, hosting, templates, and ecosystem.

the prompt
Build a personal replacement for Leadpages in an empty repository.
Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, SQLite, Drizzle ORM, and static export; do not offer alternative stacks.
The core loop is: assemble responsive sections into conversion-focused landing pages, edit copy and media, preview breakpoints, connect form submissions to email, and publish a static site to a user-owned target.
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.
Provide a section library for hero, proof, features, pricing, FAQ, and footer blocks.
Use a constrained design-token system rather than arbitrary CSS controls.
Allow inline text editing and local image upload with responsive optimization.
Preview desktop, tablet, and mobile widths and surface overflow errors.
Persist projects in SQLite and support a portable JSON export.
Generate a clean static Next.js output and document deployment to one target.
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.
Deliberately leave out a plugin marketplace.
Deliberately leave out multi-tenant managed hosting.
Deliberately leave out advanced ecommerce, memberships, and agency billing.
Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used.

why people still pay

People still pay for Leadpages 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.
