Lists Kit

A simple kit for making unlimited info directories & listings

Lists Kit - A simple, plain HTML, CSS, Javascript boilerplate for making info directories & listings.

Is this you?

"I want to build things for people. Not constantly update my tools because other developers are bored."

– r/webdev

"I hate dependency hell and endless security updates for my websites. It can be Wordpress, or it can be <insert your latest fancy Javascript framework>. Especially for simple, single-page sites that gets maybe 10 visitors to 10,000, having all that maintenance work feels like over-engineering, a technology overkill. The cost-benefit is low, and it’s more trouble than it’s worth."

– Jason Leow

Maybe you can relate to this:

• Waking up and getting a long list of Github dependabot or Wordpress security updates for your site.
• Your favourite framework/library decides to re-envision itself from ground up, makes many major new releases and changes how it works fundamentally, and expects a ton of unlearning and people to invest in learning the new way. And mid-way through upgrading the version, you regret big time.
• Your web host just updated it’s infrastructure and your site no longer works, even though you didn’t do nothing.
• You left your site untouched for too long, want to make small changes, and now npm run dev doesn’t even work.

Seriously, sometimes I feel like we're now working for Github, React or Wordpress, not the tools working for us. Why should they have so much control over our to-do list?

Enter Lists Kit: How it helps

• Universal & simple - The boilerplate is made entirely in plain vanilla HTML, CSS and Javascript. Super versatile on most web hosting platforms. Left untouched, it can probably last a decade. Works everywhere. Lasts forever.
• Lightning fast time-to-market - Connect your repo or drop this as a single index.html file into a web host, and you're live. No build step. No terminal. No installation of tools required. Spend a few hours tweaking the color, copy and images, and it's ready to launch. From idea to site in a day, not weeks.
• Good docs & support - Walk-through tutorials, documentation and fast support if you need help customizing the boilerplate. You get access to a Telegram community to share tips and ideas. Help just a message away.

Hear from our users

"I'm the maker of this boilerplate so probably biased. But I got skin in the game myself because I really built this boilerplate for myself, to migrate a bunch of my old info directories. Love how easy it is to drop it into Netlify, tweak colors, images, and it's live in 1-2h! Best part? No dependency hell, no endless security updates whatsoever. In theory it can last a decade without me touching the code."

About

Hey makers! Jason here 👋 I'm the founder and chief builder for Lists Kit.

I love creating info directories, and run 10 of them. I think info directories are super underrated. Amongst the product types, it’s one of the more passive forms of side income. Once you commit to the initial upfront effort of compiling the list, it’s amazingly easy to launch, even easier to run. Even for non-technical folks.

The problem with my directories is that they are all over the place, on different platforms. Some cost quite a bit to host, others keep requiring maintenance due to security/software updates. These factors kept holding me back from launching new info directories fast, so I thought,

"What if I could just drop a simple index.html file into my web host, tweak color and copy, add images, and it's done, within a day?!"

I wanted something simple to launch, low to no maintenance, but lasts forever. So I decided to make my own website boilerplate to do just that. Lists Kit was the result.

FAQs

1 - Who is this boilerplate for?

This boilerplate is a single index.html file consisting of HTML, CSS and Javascript code. If you're a 'prosumer', you'll like this. Great for folks like:

• A seasoned developer who can code blindfolded but would rather use a template to save time.
• A web designer who knows patches of HTML, CSS and Javascript, and prefer using a template that he can edit instead of coming up with his own code.
• A nocode maker who launched products before, don't know how to code, but wouldn't mind getting his hands dirty coding with some guidance and documentation.
• Anyone who's tired of maintaining simple websites built with modern Javascript frameworks, and rather use a simple stack of plain vanilla HTML, CSS and Javascript.
• For small and simple info directories that don't have lots of dynamic data, needs just 1 or a few pages, and only needs occasional updates (like monthly or yearly) that you don't mind editing manually.

2 - Who is this not for?

Not gonna lie, this boilerplate isn't a good fit for you or your project if:

• You're a seasoned developer who can code blindfolded, have loads of time and prefer to DIY everything.
• If you prefer using NextJS, React or any Javscript framework to build simple websites, and don't mind updating and maintaining them.
• A small-medium business owner who never launched products nor touched coding before, and need lots of hand-holding to even edit simple HTML, CSS.
• If you don't know what HTML, CSS and Javascript is.
• For complex and huge info directories that require lots of dynamic data, needs hundreds of pages, and needs realtime and frequent updates (like multiple times daily) that needs to be automated.

3 - What happens after I pay?

I'll add you to the Github repository and you can fork the repo right away to start building your info directory. Also check out the documentation, and join the Lists Kit Telegram group for support.

4 - Can I use it for unlimited sites?

Yes you can! Pay once, use forever on unlimited sites.

5 - What am I allowed to do with it?

Standard media policy and common sense apply. As long as you don't use it for hate, violence, or anything criminal. No sharing or reselling in part or whole.
