DirStarter

DirStarter is a premium Next.js boilerplate specifically designed for building directory and listing websites—think ProductHunt, ToolFinder, or niche resource collections. It provides everything you need to launch a monetizable directory site with minimal setup.

Why DirStarter Excels at Directory Sites

• Purpose-Built for Directories — Not a generic SaaS template adapted for listings, but designed from the ground up for directory use cases
• AI Content Generation — Built-in AI capabilities for generating tool descriptions, summaries, and SEO content
• Submission System — Public submission flow with moderation, allowing users to submit their tools or resources
• Advanced Filtering — Category, tag, and search filtering optimized for discovery
• Monetization Ready — Stripe integration for premium listings, featured spots, and subscription access

Full-Stack Directory Features

DirStarter includes a polished admin dashboard for managing submissions, categories, and users. The SEO system generates proper meta tags, OpenGraph images, and structured data for each listing. Multi-language support via i18n enables international directories.

Built on Next.js 15 with TypeScript, Prisma, and shadcn/ui, the codebase follows modern patterns while remaining accessible. Whether you are building a curated tools directory, a job board, or a resource collection, DirStarter provides the specialized foundation that generic SaaS boilerplates lack.
