what AI can build

Accept a payment webhook, schedule one testimonial request and follow-up, collect consent, approve replies, and render them on a hosted wall and embed.

A collection form, approval queue, wall, and embed are one-session work. The real Proofling loop adds payment-triggered asks, dependable email follow-ups, consent history, video processing, and integrations, which makes an honest replacement a weekend project with ongoing operational work.

The prompt was editor-reviewed; no completed build is recorded.

The honest tradeoff

why people still pay

They pay to avoid operating the unglamorous parts: verified webhooks, timed sends, email delivery, retries, consent records, media handling, and integrations. The wall itself is easy; making customer requests arrive reliably and safely is the service.

what you lose

polished onboarding and multi-tenant workspaces

payment integrations beyond the single Stripe webhook

managed email delivery, retries, scheduling, and suppression

guided video capture, processing, captions, and retention controls

long-lived consent history, proof exports, and referral workflows

the prompt

Curated prompt
Build a self-hosted testimonial automation app inspired by Proofling.
Use Node.js 22, TypeScript, Fastify, better-sqlite3, server-rendered HTML, and vanilla CSS.
Keep it single-tenant and deployable as one small service on a VPS.

- Add an .env.example for ADMIN_PASSWORD, APP_URL, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, and RESEND_API_KEY.
- Create POST /webhooks/stripe and verify Stripe signatures before processing events.
- Idempotently store completed checkout customers and ignore duplicate webhook deliveries.
- Let the admin configure an ask delay, one optional follow-up delay, sender name, and message copy.
- Run a database-backed worker every minute; queued jobs must survive restarts and retry with backoff.
- Send email through Resend, with MAIL_MODE=log for local development without an API key.
- Give each customer an expiring signed /r/:token response link; never expose sequential database IDs.
- Collect name, role, company, optional 1-5 rating, testimonial text, avatar, and explicit publication consent.
- Resize avatars to 128px WebP, discard originals, and reject oversized or non-image uploads.
- Add a Basic Auth /admin page with pending, approved, private, and failed-delivery views.
- Allow approve, unpublish, delete, and resend; nothing public appears before approval and consent.
- Render a mobile-friendly /wall page with approved cards, dark mode, and honest buyer-context badges.
- Serve /embed.js so one script plus a div creates a sandboxed, auto-resizing wall on another site.
- Expose approved data at /proof.json and /proof.md without private contact details.
- Exclude multi-user accounts, billing, non-Stripe integrations, video, AI rewriting, and referrals.
- Add tests for signature verification, webhook idempotency, scheduling, consent gates, and public filtering.
- Include SQLite migrations, seed data, a Dockerfile, and a README covering setup, backups, and permissions.

questions

Can AI replace Proofling?

Possibly for a narrower core workflow, but this catalog judgment is not a verified build. Expected gaps include: polished onboarding and multi-tenant workspaces, payment integrations beyond the single Stripe webhook. Validate the prompt against your own acceptance criteria before committing.

How much does Proofling cost?

Proofling is listed at about $19/month (Founding Pro, checked 2026-07-31), or $228 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing Proofling?

Honestly: polished onboarding and multi-tenant workspaces; payment integrations beyond the single Stripe webhook; managed email delivery, retries, scheduling, and suppression; guided video capture, processing, captions, and retention controls; long-lived consent history, proof exports, and referral workflows. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Proofling?

No mature open-source alternative is listed yet. The prompt is an unverified starting point, not proof that a one-shot replacement will work.
