The kind of person who wants to build a website copier is exactly who I had in mind for the target of vibecoding.
Bad idea, bad execution, I like it when a plan comes together.
- anupsingh123 1y agoI think there's some confusion about what justcopy does - it's for cloning YOUR OWN projects, not scraping other people's websites. Built it out of frustration when I tried to fork one of my projects for a different idea and it took a full day even with Claude Code and Cursor. Lots of manual config updates, dependency changes, renaming stuff, etc. The $200 mistake was about agent orchestration, not the ethics of the product. But appreciate the feedback - clearly need to communicate the use case better.
