Mockupia
A competent technical user can build and maintain a smaller-scale replacement (catalog + membership + downloads) within a week of focused work; Mockupia's main value is its catalog size and brand, which are not durable technical moats.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Browse a catalogue of mockup assets, purchase or unlock access, and download image/PSD/scene files for use in designs.
What it still won’t have
- Large existing catalog and volume (770 mockups)
- Design polish and curated help files per mockup
- Existing contributor network and marketplace history
- Established brand trust and customer base
What remains hard
- Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt
Build a simple mockup storefront and membership backend using Next.js (React) + Vercel (frontend), Node/Express API server (or serverless functions), PostgreSQL (Supabase) for accounts and entitlements, and S3-compatible storage + Cloudflare or CloudFront for asset delivery. Core features in scope: searchable catalogue and asset pages, user signup/login, Stripe checkout for quarterly and one-time passes, entitlement checks enforcing '5 downloads/day', admin UI to upload assets and metadata, download counting and license text in each download bundle. Out of scope: designing or creating the mockup image content itself, contributor marketplace, advanced image editors. Include error handling, input validation, and unit/integration tests for payment flow, entitlement checks, and file delivery.

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
