Step-by-step guide.
SetupMake an empty folder and open it in Claude Code
SetupCopy the whole prompt below and paste it in
All 254 lines of it. You do not need to read it or understand it — you are copying it, not studying it.
SetupWait a few minutes
It writes four files: index.html, style.css, app.js and themes.js. There is nothing to install and no questions to answer.
SetupDouble-click index.html
It opens in your browser and works completely. Add a note, tick it off, close the tab, come back tomorrow — everything is still there.
SetupBookmark it straight away
Drag the bookmark to your browser's bookmarks bar. A planner you have to hunt for is a planner you stop using.
04 · Prompts
The prompts that built it.
Build **Life Sticky Notes**, a personal sticky-note wall that runs entirely in the browser.
## What it is
A single page that looks like a pinboard on a dark wall. I write a note, give it a deadline, and it
appears as a tilted, taped, textured piece of paper. Notes past their deadline are flagged in red.
Notes I finish sink to a section at the bottom. No server, no account, no sync — everything lives in
localStorage.
## Deliverables
Four files, no build step, no npm, no framework:
index.
…05 · Monetize it
How you can monetize it.
1
Sell it as a templateTidy it up and sell the download on a site like Gumroad for $29 to $49. There are no servers or monthly bills; 20 copies is about $600, 200 is about $6,000.
2
Charge monthly for sync and remindersKeep the free app whole and charge $4 a month for notes that sync across devices plus one daily reminder email. Costs run about $1/month at the start and about $65/month with a few thousand users; 100 paying customers is $4,800 a year, but at a 2-3% conversion rate that needs roughly 4,000 regular users.
