Zero day. Zero JS.
Zero hosting bill.
ZeroDirs.

Try it — you will get a listing grid in an afternoon. What you will not get is the part that makes money: an idempotent Stripe webhook that survives replays, a review queue that cannot be bypassed, emails that retry, and a build that refuses to ship an orphaned page. Those took weeks to get right, and an agent has no way to know it got them wrong. ZeroDirs gives your agent that foundation to extend instead of invent.

Because a directory is a content site, and content sites should not ship a framework to the browser. Every listing page here is HTML on a CDN with no hydration, which is why the hosting bill is zero and the pages rank. The competing directory starters are all Next.js, so they all need a paid host to feel fast.

It is the Cloudflare free plan, not a discount. Static assets are unmetered; the dynamic parts — submission form, Stripe webhook, admin — are a handful of Worker requests against a 100,000/day allowance. A directory doing serious traffic still costs nothing. You pay Stripe's cut on what you earn, and that is it.

The whole repository: the site, the Worker behind the form and the admin, the tests, three seed datasets, and the docs. You own the code and can build unlimited directories with it, including for clients. Pay, connect the GitHub account you want on the next page, and the invitation to the private repository is sent that second — no username to type, no waiting for a human.

A git pull. The starter is a private repository you clone; every release lands there with a changelog, and no release edits your config, your content or your public folder. Migrations only add tables and columns, so an older deploy keeps working against a newer database.

Yes. Unlimited projects, commercial use included, no per-site licence. You cannot resell the starter itself as a competing product.
