Remote DXB
A single technical builder can reproduce the core job-board and subscription gate; Remote DXB's primary durable advantage is its existing user base (brand), which you would lose, but the core product is implementable using prior-art job-listing projects and common services.

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
- User browses/searches job listings, subscribes to unlock full listings and unlimited applications, receives email alerts for new matches, employers post jobs via a dashboard.
What it still won’t have
- Existing user base and brand presence
- Exclusive employer relationships and listings aggregation
- Telegram subscriber list and community reach
- Any proprietary AI features they add (AI CV optimization / AI job matching)
What remains hard
- Brand trust

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal job-board for Dubai/UAE remote roles using Next.js (React) for frontend, Node.js/Express for API, Postgres for storage, Redis for background jobs (optional), Stripe for subscriptions, and SendGrid for email alerts. Core features in scope: publicly browse job listings, authenticated subscriber gating for full job details and unlimited applications, employer job-posting form with moderation, search and faceted filters (location, remote-status, category, skills), cron-driven email alerts for new matches, and a simple admin dashboard to manage listings and subscriptions. Out of scope: AI CV optimization, AI job-matching agents, lifetime payment product pages, and Telegram integration. Include error handling, input validation, unit tests for APIs, and an integration test for the subscription flow.

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.
