Bonjour! I'm Dany
I often feel lost when it comes to find the right things on the internet nowadays...
So I built a solution to gather them!
I spent 12 years risking my life all around the globe but 2 year ago I decided to settle down a bit.
So I went back to my first love: building stuff. But something stayed the same: I love risks. So I took the most difficult path to entrepreneurship but the most rewarding one too: IndieHacking.
I can now count on myself only to provide you the best products and my family the life they deserve.
I found my way by building a directory of books visited by over 2,000 #indiehackers a month. But in this game, you have to be one step ahead.
That's why I built this site not only to be a great product, but also to be usable and used by as many people as possible easily and in no time.
You find this cool? You're not alone!
Just look at what people are saying about DirectoryFast.
“Directories are underrated! Can be a great passive revenue stream. Cool to see this, I know where to start next time I build one!”
“Actually quite useful, it will come in handy.”
“Directories are the next big thing. I advise beginner makers to make a directory first. It is a great first step. Much better than a SaaS because one can procrastinate with SaaS for years without even starting doing marketing. With directory you can finish building within a week (or a day if you use an advanced tool like Directoryfast) and go to the hardest part — promoting it.”
“Great work. Most directories use things like Wordpress with all of its issues, with DirectoryFast you get the right setup for your directory.”
“This is an absolutely helpful product for those who want to build a directory product. Classic. A must buy and ride the directory wave :)”
“Directories are fire these days so having a tool to quickly build them seems line a cool idea!”
“I know how hard it is to build a directory and DirectoryFast definitely takes the pain away by providing a solid foundation. Great work!”
“He's doing it !!”
“Awesome product that released in the right time! I was watching Dany for some time on twitter building his own directories and I'm already 100% sure that the quality is there and all the features needed to run the directory included.”
“I am sure your boilerplate will rock in the market!”
“I can't wait to jump on this and build one for Morning Maker Show products :D”
“A product that solves a real problem for people looking to build online directories! Built by the legend himself 👏”
“It's really brilliant! DirectoryFast is what powers my soon-to-launch deals directory(https://toplifetime.deals) and I love it! It's super easy to setup and Dany is been nothing but supportive! 💯 recommend”
“Love this product, you know that directories is my thing right? Completely recommend!”
“Great work Dany. Love the look and feel of IndiesReadIt and now the stack is available for everyone. Terrific! Highly recommended. Such a great idea and I can't wait to have one of my own and put DirectoryFast to use myself.”
“Directories sure is a hot topic at the moment 🔥”
“One of the best clicked boilerplates on BoilerplateHub.”
“I tried Directory Fast, and it's super easy to set up. Dany is showing us how fast and simple it is to use his directory tool by regularly creating multiple directories.”
“DUDE LETS GO. I have ideas waiting!! Pumped!”
“Wish you had released this before I built my directory”
“Really great work and I think this will benefit a lot of people!”
“Love all your progress, you've created an awesome starter kit mate, let's go!”
“Looks really good!!”
Focus on content, not tool
You don't need to be a senior developer to build a directory. You just need to be you.
Start earning money with minimal effort.
Don't let the market outrun you again. Harness it and build the ultimate directory platform.
