Hey Hunters! Excited to be back for my 7th launch! The last two were directory businesses and I made a lot of learnings while building and scaling them. I put these learnings into a new product. Today, I'd love announce the launch of DirectoryStack โ€“ a Next.js 14 boilerplate template for building feature-rich, production-ready directory websites 10x faster! Want to launch your own Ai tool directory or a local business directory? This is your template! Here's what makes DirectoryStack stand out: ๐ŸŒŸ Key Features: - AI-Powered Content Generation: Save time with automated descriptions for listings, tags, and categories. All prompts are based on your unique directory and will never be the same! - Comprehensive KPI Dashboard: Monitor visits, clicks, ratings, revenue and more with our detailed analytics. - Advanced Search Options: keyword search, tokenized vector search, and AI-powered semantic search. - User Engagement Tools: Allow users to rate, like, share, and comment on listings. - Monetization: Integrated ad management and promoted listings help you generate revenue from day 1. - Fully Customizable: Tailor the design and functionality to fit your brand perfectly. - Blazing Fast Performance: Built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS for speed and efficiency.

๐Ÿ’ก Bright idea
Hey Till, I'm impressed by your advanced features and overall design! Some specific questions: 1. Can I disable Typescript ๐Ÿ˜ญ? 2. How does your user authentication work? Can I set up a basic email-to-database connection, or do I need to use a third-party tool? 3. Are users meant to create accounts and upload their own listings? Is that the idea? Directoryfa.st lets users make and share lists publiclyโ€”have you considered adding a feature like that? 4. I love that you have a roadmap. How long until P2P and Booking/Reservation Directory features are available? 5. Have you considered offering a done-for-you price point? Also, have you monetized like DomainersKit.com or DirectoriesHQ.com? You should write a blog post detailing how this template can help users monetize their database listing ideas.

@kiarabickers Hi Kiara, thanks for your thoughtful questions: 1. Currently, there is only a Typescript version. If you are interested in Javascript only, I can certainly create that. 2. Authentication is already setup with Supabase auth using email & password signups. Social Logins are on the roadmpa. The template is using Resend (free tier) to send transactional emails to the users like email confirmation, password change, etc. 3. A collection building feature was not the roadmap yet but I will note it down. Do you think in the direction of a bookmarking tool? Currently, you, as the admin, can create listings, and users can sign up and also create listings (or claim the listings you created). 4. There are a few more monetization features on my immediate roadmap. I will add P2P still this year. Booking & reservation will be up to the demand of the users. 5. I love this idea - I've put it directly into my backlog. If you are interested in something concrete, hit me up on X and we'll find a way. :) DomainersKit is monetized with Ads, Promoted Listings and Affiliate Links. The blog post about monetizing directories is already in the making! Thanks again for your questions. Let me know if I can support any further.
