Enrich listings with AI-written descriptions based on reviews

We can now scrape and display reviews. The next step - make something useful: we can ask AI to analyze reviews and create a business description. TBD: 1) Decide if it should be a standalone field(s) 2) Decide if reviews data should be combined with website data

Add "Claim your listing" button on the listing's page

Visitors may want to take control over their business presence in the directory. We will start with the simplest thing - a lead form asking for First and Last Names, E-Mail address and a message on who they are and why they believe this listing belongs to them.

Add "Upvotes" to listings

Many users are asking about adding more UGC/UG actions. 1) Add “Upvote” to the Listing Page header 2) Display the number of upvotes on the listing cards 3) Add sorting by upvotes number to listing grids, apply default sorting as “most upvoted first” 4) Ask anonymous users to sign up/login once they click the “upvote” button. Just open login/signup pages in a new tab for the beginning.

Allow to remove the /browse prefix

Some directory owners want to see the listings URLs to start with the category name, instead of some generic prefix. It can, theoretically, have a positive effect on SEO.

Create a separate "Search" page

With the addition of search bar to the home page, it became completely unobvious how does the search work. We need either rework the /browse page or create a separate /search page to handle… Search.

Add "move up"/"move down" buttons to the Page Builder blocks

Currently it possible to drag&drop items, but it doesn’t work well with large components - completely unintuitive thing that sometimes even doesn’t work.

Be able to change colour scheme

If you like blue buttons, then no need, but every site looks better when there is some kind of brand and design. Whichs means not having to use the standard default of blue and orange you see everywhere…

Allow to filter similar items by clicking on the Custom Attribute

Add "Opening Hours" custom attribute type

Currently, it is somewhat solvable by using the “Text” custom attribute, but it doesn’t look good enough.

With no customisation currently available, would be good to be able to add some CSS styling of our own.

Add Airtable integration

Multiple users requested Airtable integration for their directories. For the first iteration, we can focus on one-way sync (Airtable → MakeADir). Support categories & listings sync with a column mapping interface similar to CSV import.

Make meaningful placeholders for missing images

Consider either replacing the placeholder image with something meaningful or/and allow users to upload their own images as placeholders (via site configuration).

List view for listings grid

Sometimes users might prefer having a “list view” of listings when a single listing fills the whole row (like on Booking.com’s SRP).
