Mkdirs

Mkdirs summary

First of all, can I say how much I love the name Mkdirs? It’s a great play on the Unix command mkdir (make directory).

Mkdirs is a well thought-out Next.js boilerplate that helps web developers build directory websites fast. It’s packed with powerful features like: headless CMS, secure authentication, payment integration, and more. You’ll be able to build a directory in 30 minutes. And if you play your cards right, you can monetise it with affiliate links, sponsors, and targeted ads shortly after.

It uses industry-standard technologies like React, Next.js, and Sanity Studio CMS. You can customise the solution to your needs. This ensures a great user experience.

Mkdirs users have built successful directories like Best Directories, Podcast Nav, and Play Sprunki.

Whether you’re an experienced web developer or new to the field, Mkdirs simplifies the directory website building process. This means you can focus on your core business objectives rather than repetitive coding tasks. It comes complete with comprehensive documentation, video tutorials (in English and Chinese), and active community support.

I like the product a lot and it was pretty easy to set up with cool scalability feature like newsletters/stripe and all that built in. It’s a nice middle ground of no-code and code.
