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
For example, a user visited a Listing page. He sees some “tag” and would like to see other items with this tag.

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

Allow to remove directories
Sometimes customers create their first directory, break it down, and want to get a fresh start. They are creating a new directory and would like to get rid of the old one.

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).

Add translations for on-page labels & texts
hey, I hope you’re doing well. I liked your app but I want to build a directory in turkish language. I’ve seen that If I change site language the texts that I can not change are staying in english. Thanks for your help.

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).

Allow to display categories on the sidebar
Pretty much similar to filters, users might want to see categories on the sidebar to occupy less of the vertical space. It should work like Amazon categories: 1) Parent name/link 2) List of links of the categories on the same level 3) List of links of subcategories of the currently selected one.
