CLONE — YOU CAN REBUILD THE FEATURE
Wiremo sells a simple combination of webhook-driven transactional emails and a front-end review list widget. You are paying a recurring subscription for basic CRUD operations and pre-built UI components. The logic required to trigger an email post-purchase, store a star rating with an optional photo, and render JSON-LD schema on product pages is completely standard. Building this yourself eliminates recurring per-email limits and gives you complete ownership over your customer feedback data.

The one-shot build prompt
Paste it into your agent of choice. Nothing else needed.
Build a custom, full-stack product review system to replace Wiremo. System Architecture: 1. Database (Supabase PostgreSQL): Create tables for 'products' (id, sku, title), 'reviews' (id, product_id, order_id, customer_email, rating int 1-5, title, body, status ['pending','approved','rejected'], photo_urls text[], created_at), and 'questions' (id, product_id, customer_email, question, answer, status). 2. Backend & Webhooks (Node.js/Next.js): Set up an incoming webhook endpoint for Shopify/WooCommerce 'orders/fulfilled'. Upon receiving a webhook, schedule a transactional review request email via Resend API set to deliver 14 days later containing a signed JWT token unique to that order and customer. 3. Review Submission API: Build a public API route to accept review submissions verified by the signed JWT token. Implement direct presigned URL generation for Cloudflare R2 image uploads so users can submit up to 3 product photos. 4. Frontend Widget: Create a zero-dependency Native Web Component (<product-reviews product-id="123">) that runs asynchronously. It fetches approved reviews from the API, renders aggregate star averages, displays a paginated list of reviews with thumbnail image overlays, includes JSON-LD Product Schema markup for SEO, and provides a simple 'Write a Review' modal. 5. Admin Dashboard: Build a simple password-protected React/Tailwind dashboard to view pending reviews, approve/reject them in bulk, upload CSV exports, and respond publicly to specific reviews. Handle rate limiting on public endpoints to block spam bot submissions.

An MVP takes roughly 1 weekend; matching the product properly is closer to 1 month, for automated webhooks and embeddable Web Components.
+How long does it take to rebuild Wiremo?
A usable internal version: 1 weekend. A version you would sell or bet a business on: 1 month, for automated webhooks and embeddable Web Components, mostly spent on managing secure, direct browser-to-bucket image uploads for photo reviews.
+What do you actually lose by leaving Wiremo?
Zero-code app store installation plugins Pre-styled widget templates out of the box One-click AliExpress or CSV review import tools
+Is it legal to build a Wiremo alternative?
Building a competing product with your own code is normal competition. Copying their code, trademarks, brand assets or scraping their platform is not. Use the prompt to build your own implementation of common features.
