Whale Starts

The team behind Whale Starts looked at every website builder on the market—Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, all of them—and asked a simple question: why do we keep rebuilding everything from scratch? So they built Whale Starts, a visual website builder that lets you paste ANY URL and instantly clone its entire structure, styles, and layout into an editable project. Yes, really. You want that Stripe landing page? Paste the link, it's yours. That Apple product page? cloned. Edit it however you want.

It's got the usual visual builder stuff—drag, drop, responsive controls, full customization—but the URL cloning is the thing that makes other builders nervous. Real-time collaboration included, roles, live updates. And here's the kicker: $8999 gets you the full source code to self-host the entire platform yourself. No subscriptions. Forever. That's incredibly ballsy for a tool that can technically clone anything on the internet—all up to how you use it.

Is it legal? That's between you and whatever website you're cloning. But the tool exists, and it's exactly as powerful as it sounds. For designers, developers, competitors, or anyone who's ever wished they could just "borrow" a layout—the future just arrived.
