Steal This Site
In the spirit of Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book." Everything you just scrolled through runs on $10 a year. Take it if it helps. I don't care if you fork it, because nobody is going to be me. The point is for you to build your own $10 thing. Let this be where you start.
All of This Runs on $10/Year
Everything you're seeing runs on Cloudflare for about $10 a year: forms, database, real-time updates, mobile-responsive design. No vendor lock-in, no hidden fees, no corporate dependencies.
Under an Hour
Less if you know what you're doing. Not much more if you don't.
$10/Year Total
Cloudflare handles everything. No surprises, no scaling costs.
Full Control
Your code, your data, no platform sitting between you and either one.
Lead-o-Tron 5000
A CRM built for in-person community outreach. Track venues, log visits, score locations, plan routes. Loads with fictional demo data so you can explore it immediately. Sign in with Google to sync your real leads to Drive, or keep everything local: your call.
Lead Tracking
Score locations by space, foot traffic, and cultural fit. Log every visit with notes and reception.
Route Optimizer
Two-opt route solving against real geocoordinates. Opens directly in Google Maps.
Google Drive Sync
Sign in with Google and your data lives in your own Drive as a single JSON file. No backend, no server.
Works Without Google
Local-only mode with export and import JSON. Nothing leaves your browser unless you choose.
Preloaded with fictional sample data. Sign in with Google to load your real leads, or import a JSON file for a fully local setup.
💡 Use it like a desktop app
In Chrome or Edge: open the CRM, then go to the browser menu → Save and share → Install page as app. It opens in its own window with no browser chrome. Your data persists between sessions. It's just a webpage that behaves like software.
Desktop only. Mobile support is not a current development priority.
How to Steal It
The easy way: hand it to your AI.
Give STEAL-THIS-SITE.md to your AI coding agent and talk about it, or open a fresh session and say "I want to make a Cloudflare and GitHub Pages website." That's the whole job now. Prefer to do it by hand? The steps below still work.
Fork & Customize
GitHub Fork: Fork the repository and make it yours.
Customize Content: Edit the HTML files to reflect your community, cause, and contact information. Change the color scheme in css/main.css to match your brand.
Deploy on Cloudflare
Pages: Connect your GitHub repo to Cloudflare Pages for automatic deployments
Workers: Deploy the form handlers to process contact forms and host applications
D1 Database: Set up the SQLite database for real-time version tracking
Connect Your Domain
Custom Domain: Point your domain to Cloudflare for professional branding
SSL Certificate: Automatic HTTPS encryption included
Global CDN: Fast loading everywhere, automatically

💡 Pro Tip: Use an AI coding tool like Claude Code to do the heavy lifting. Tell it what you want in plain English, and it writes the code. This whole site was built that way.
🤝 Community Focus

- No data collection or tracking
- Built for your own control
Why This Is Out Here
Look at where the tools are. A website costs $10 a year and can do everything you'd ever want: forms, a database, live updates, the animations you just watched.
Take it if it helps. I genuinely don't care whether you fork the whole thing or just steal an idea or two. What I care about is that you see it's possible, and that nobody had to hand $200 a year to a platform to get here.
I'll be straight with you: copying this probably won't do for you what it does for me, because nobody is going to be you. This isn't a clone-and-win. Build your own version on the same $10 stack. The flavor has to be yours.
"Scale out, not up. The tools are this cheap now. Go build your own thing."
Go Build Your Own
Stop renting a website for $200 a year from a platform that doesn't share your values. The tools are cheap and good now. Go spin up your own $10 site, and let this be the reference you start from.
Stuck? Ask your AI coding agent for help first. If that doesn't work, reach out to me, I'm happy to help.
