Based on the premise of "OnlyFlans" and your story about cloning the famous UI for a dessert platform, here is a short, funny, and "iconic" post you can copy/paste directly to Dev.to.
🍮 The Ultimate Hackathon Heist: I Cloned OnlyFans... for Flan
I spent a hackathon weekend cloning the entire OnlyFans UI and UX, but for one crucial, high-stakes difference: flan recipes.
Meet OnlyFlans—the world's most niche, premium content platform for jiggly, caramelized custard.
Why? Because a secret family recipe is the ultimate premium content. Why shouldn't Grandma be able to monetize her 100-year-old Cuban Flan recipe behind a beautiful, familiar paywall?
The Steal: Meticulously replicated UI, feed, and subscription barrier using pure HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS.
The Twist: All content is intentionally blurred by default (the "premium" experience). Click to "subscribe" and unlock the high-definition, unblurred recipe text.
The Outcome: A project that proves UX patterns are inherently monetizable—it just depends on the content you serve. (And yes, it was hilarious.)
This project was a masterclass in technical minimalism and meme-driven virality.
