Stencil?

YESA focused first version is a sensible AI-assisted build. Keep the first release narrow and polish the workflow people repeat.

BUILD FIRST

One defined user and a repeatable end-to-end job
A small, clear data model with sign-in only if it is genuinely needed
Loading, empty, error, and success states that make the workflow feel complete

LEAVE FOR LATER

Large integration marketplaces
Multi-region scale and enterprise administration
Every power-user setting from the established product

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a focused replacement for Stencil for a small team producing one focused type of visual asset, based on this public product description: “Free Stencil Templates - Browse All Categories | Free Stencil Maker — Browse thousands of free stencil templates across 15 categories - anime, portraits, street art, skulls, animals, and more. Download multi-layer SVG, PDF, and DXF stencils for spray painting, Cricut, or laser cutting.” Do not copy the original brand, proprietary assets, name, logo, UI, or copy; create an original visual system.

Core workflow
- Recreate only the narrow primary workflow described above, with start from an editable document with a small set of layouts; support text, image, color, spacing, and reorder controls; provide responsive preview and export; keep a versionable document schema and undo-friendly editing.
- Keep the product name and source description in a research note in the README, and turn every uncertain behavior into an explicit assumption or user setting rather than inventing a feature.
- Use a small React/TypeScript app with a portable JSON or SQLite data model, clear loading/empty/error states, and adapters around external services. Seed realistic demo data so the complete workflow works without paid credentials.

Scope boundaries
- Out of scope for v1: a full professional design suite; template marketplace; copying the reference product's visual language. Do not promise feature parity, proprietary data, or enterprise reliability.

Include a README with setup, environment variables, data model, implementation decisions, privacy behavior, testing instructions, and important limitations.
