# Boilerplates Directory

> The directory of boilerplates — production-ready starter kits and boilerplates. 96+ starters across 10 categories, paid and open-source, every URL verified live. Every listing human-reviewed. Free browsing, paid fast-track submission ($49), advertising slots ($199-499/month).

## About
Boilerplates Directory curates starter kits that save developers weeks of setup — SaaS starters (ShipFast, Makerkit, SaaS Pegasus), framework kits (create-t3-app, Epic Stack), mobile templates (Ignite, Very Good CLI), AI app starters, e-commerce storefronts, extension scaffolds, and backend generators. Every listing is reviewed by a human against four criteria: a real starter that scaffolds a working project, actively maintained, honest about pricing and contents, URL verified live. Open-source vs paid is clearly badged; prices appear in descriptions. Operated by Hugo Berton (micro-entrepreneur, Aix-en-Provence, France).
