The story behind mkdirs.com, the best directory boilerplate
👋 Hi, I’m Javayhu.
In 2024, I started my journey of indie hacking, and it’s been an exciting adventure ever since.
A month later, I launched Hai Tang and made it open source, it's my first small success.
Two months later, I launched IndieHub, which is still running and generating revenue for me.
Six months later, I launched Mkdirs, the ultimate directory website template.
Why did I create Mkdirs?
I realized that every time I wanted to build a new directory website, I had to repeat the same steps—set up the codebase, design the Sanity schemas, handle Stripe webhooks, send emails with Resend, creating the pricing page, and more.
So, I built Mkdirs for three main reasons:
• Save time and focus on what matters: Build a directory quickly!
• Avoid common headaches: No more dealing with emails ending up in spam or complicated Stripe integrations or designing complex Sanity schemas.
• Get profitable faster: The more you ship, the more you learn, and the more you earn.
Nearly 7,000 people follow me on Twitter, and my product IndieHub was awarded the #1 Product of the Day on Uneed and #1 Product of the week on DevHunt.
With Mkdirs, you can launch your own directory website in minutes and start making your first dollar online just like I did!
