Changelog
What’s new in DirectoryCraft, improvements, fixes, and new features.
Added a visual website builder for customizing directory pages, layouts, sections, and public site presentation without writing code. Builders can now edit home pages, listing pages, and custom pages from a visual interface, then publish changes to the live directory site.
Added CSV imports for dynamic collections. Each collection can now be imported separately with a schema-specific CSV example file generated from that collection's current fields, including support for statuses, ranks, select fields, multi-select fields, references, dates, booleans, media URLs, and required field checks.
Added dynamic collections so you can model the exact data your directory needs. Create custom collections, define fields with data types like text, numbers, booleans, dates, select options, media, and references, then manage structured records from one flexible dashboard.
Added dedicated feature pages for key DirectoryCraft capabilities, including submissions and paid listings, custom fields, CSV import, SEO, custom domains, themes, monetization, team collaboration, no-code setup, and fast MVP launches.
We also refreshed the main /features page to better organize Launch, Growth, Platform, and Content features.
Added a new Location Directory template for local discovery sites, featuring a map-first browsing experience for places like restaurants, hotels, and city guides.
Added a new Job Board template for directory sites, with tailored listing layouts, category navigation, and a focused hero experience.
DirectoryCraft now supports paid listing submissions with Stripe checkout, including a post‑payment confirmation state before redirecting submitters back to the directory home page. This makes it easier to accept paid submissions on your directory website and keep payment status in sync via Stripe webhooks.
checkout.session.completed, checkout.session.async_payment_succeeded, checkout.session.async_payment_failed, checkout.session.expired.We launched a new Free Tools hub to help you ship faster with SEO-friendly generators:
Browse all tools at /tools.
Directory templates now include mobile menus, nested categories, improved submit listing styling, better search with filter chips, and more consistent theming across pages.
Added a Design setting to optionally show a subtle DirectoryCraft watermark on public sites (floating badge and footer credit).
Plan feature lists now display clear checkmarks for included features and an X for features not included in a plan.
You can now sign in or create an account using Google, alongside email and password.
Renamed the product to DirectoryCraft, added updated logos and favicons, and refreshed the landing experience (header/nav, pricing, features, FAQ, and CTA).
Added a public /changelog page on the root domain powered by a Markdown file you can update.
Improved project dashboard navigation by reducing redundant server calls and enabling link prefetching from the projects list.
Resolved minor UI issues and improved layout consistency across pages.
