Fully reworked monetization features added to @DirectoryFa_st 💰
- Featured spots
- Paid Submissions
- Complete Ad system
But...
I'm fucking exhausted now and can't market it properly for now🥲
Let's say I'll go full marketing week.. next week!
Discover it below 👇🏻
Breaking changes on a boilerplate product?
🔥Hot take: I better handle some customers cases than have an outdated spaghetti product.
🌍Migrated @DirectoryFa_st Auth and Payment to @better_auth & @polar_sh
(I'll refer to them as the C3PO and R2D2 because they're awesome together.)
I recently added Tags to @DirectoryFa_st ...
So I can now use them on IndiesReadIt too!
The first tag I added is Free books 🎁
I simply extracted relevant books data from Supabase and used DeeperSearch from Grok to find the free books of my database.
Find them below 👇🏻
Layouts are now available for your directory!
It sets the customization possibilities to... wait...
- 4 layouts x
- 10 themes x
- 3 product card sizes x
- 2 product card flip/noflip effect x
- 16 headline fonts x
- 16 body fonts x
...
That's right: 61440. Not bad.
I'm currently building the settings page for improving @DirectoryFa_st UX/DX
Here's the fonts selection! 🔠
Should I ship the whole settings update already? It misses some features (SEO, Layout, Stats...)🤔
Good money sponsors are not a wet dream! 💰
Carl nailed it and you could do the same by launching your own niche directory with @DirectoryFa_st 😎
Everything is already set up!
Today I played with my friends Cursor and v0 for DirectoryFast
Flip functionality for product cards with quick access to :
- infos (category, tagline or description)
- links
- rating
- favorite
- product page button
All this by modifying 2 lines😎

probably one of our bigger differentiators between us and the competitors is we don't permit sketchy shit
we're happy to fire customers if they don't follow the TOS, regardless of the impact on the MRR
not in this house
Do not fear the roast, embrace it.😎
Dorian made a awesome job pointing things that could be improved or added and I'll happily add these to my TODO list for @DirectoryFa_st!
I finally gave up my weird solution for OG-Images...
All @DirectoryFa_st Opengraph images now have :
- fully dynamic content
(e.g. all products in the collection appear in the background)
- eye-catching design
(no black Arial title on white background)
- no modifications required
(everything comes from your content and metadata)
- rely on @nextjs integrated solution Satori
(no risk of having a broken or out-of-date add-on)
- Tailwind compatible
(no cluncky inline CSS)
Next step for @DirectoryFa_st : Blog📝
But not your typical blog.
I want a blog where you can manually add articles (like your typical blog 🙃)
AND
where AI generates articles from the directory's products too. ("The best 10 Design tools...")
Not everyone is lucky enough to live in the best country in the world (🇫🇷)
That's why DirectoryFast now supports purchasing power parity 😎
Get a discount based on your location!
I hope this little gesture will help fellow devs around the world.
