140+ customers launching their directories with Mkdirs
Who am I
👋 Hello, I'm javayhu
I'm the founder of Mkdirs
I have been a professional software engineer for nearly 12 years, working in enterprises.
My passion for bulding digital products led me to build Mkdirs, the best directory boilerplate, designed to help you launch your directory faster.
I have built a directory website called IndieHub with Mkdirs boilerplate, to help indie makers choose the best tools for their products. The directory was featured as the #1 Product of the Day on Uneed, and #1 Product of the Week on DevHunt.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or feedback.
