DirectoryStack v2: AI-powered, modular directory boilerplate
DirectoryStack is a production-ready Next.js 15 + TypeScript boilerplate designed to rapidly launch SEO-optimized, revenue-generating directories. It emphasizes a highly modular architecture with core, shared, and extension modules to customize a directory for nearly any niche (AI tools, local business, marketplaces, bookings, etc.). The template leverages modern tech (Next.js 15, TypeScript, Supabase) and focuses on scalable, maintainable code with a robust feature set and flexible licensing.
Key value proposition
- Launch a directory business quickly (beta pricing available: Foundation for $99, Foundation Plus for $249)
- Highly modular architecture allows you to tailor features exactly to your needs
- AI-powered search and powerful admin/public areas to drive engagement and conversions
- Ready-to-use templates for varied directory types (AI tools, local business, P2P, booking/reservation, etc.)
- Clear pricing, licensing options, and support to scale from solo projects to agency setups
How to use
- Choose a module tier (Foundation or Foundation Plus).
- Customize core, shared, and extension modules to fit your directory type.
- Deploy quickly (Next.js 15, TypeScript, Supabase backend) and iterate with real users.
Modules and Use Cases
- Core Modules: Activity Tracking, Admin Area, Public Area, and more. These form the backbone of any directory.
- Shared Modules: Reusable building blocks shared across all modules.
- Extension Modules: Optional features you can add as your directory grows.
- Use Case Templates: AI Tool Directory, Web Directory, Local Business Directory, P2P Directory (soon), Booking/Reservation Directory (soon).
Examples and inspirations include: BiteSizedBriefs (indie newsletter resource directory), WorkWithAi.io (AI tool directory), DomainersKit.com (domain investor directory), Rancherslist.com (local rancher directory).
