Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a directory without writing JSON?

Yes. Manual form mode is the default flow, so non-technical users can add and manage items directly.

Will my work be saved automatically?

Yes. Data and settings are saved to localStorage so your draft is still there when you come back.

Can I include logos or images per listing?

Yes. Add an image URL for each item and the card will display it with fallback initials if loading fails.

What can I export and publish?

You can export JSON for backups and export a standalone HTML directory ready for deployment.
