One codebase, many directories

Why a SaaS catalog, an AI directory and a niche marketplace share the same stack

A SaaS catalog, an AI tools directory and a two-sided marketplace look like three different products on the surface — but the engineering underneath is 80% the same. All three need rich listings with custom attributes, category and tag taxonomies, search with filters, paid placements, ratings, moderation and a real admin panel. The differences live in schema, copy and ingestion cadence — not in the foundational stack.

That's why DirectoryLaunch ships one production-ready Next.js codebase that adapts to all three paths. Toggle the listing schema in config to swap from "SaaS tool" to "AI tool" to "marketplace seller", and the rest of the platform — auth, payments, search, admin, blog, programmatic SEO — comes along for free. You own the code, host on your own Vercel and Supabase, and never lose data lock-in.

The pages below are launch playbooks tuned to each path: operating cadence, monetisation primitives that work in that niche, and concrete walk-throughs from install to first paid customer. Pick the playbook that matches your launch — and ship in days, not months.

Your directory could be live next week.
