Pory
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
Turns a spreadsheet or table into a website: directories, listings and simple apps generated from rows, with filtering and detail pages.
Build a directory site from a sheet. STACK - Astro in static output, the sheet exported as CSV or read through an API at build time THE BUILD - Fetch the rows, validate them against a schema, fail the build on a bad row - Validation is the difference between a directory and a mess: a missing URL should stop the build, not render blank PAGES - One listing page with client-side filtering over a JSON index - One detail page per row, statically generated, with its own meta tags SEARCH - Build the index at compile time; filter in the browser with no service KEEPING IT CURRENT - A scheduled rebuild, plus a webhook from the sheet if it offers one - State the rebuild interval on the page so nobody is misled about freshness Include the schema validation, the build and the filter.
What you lose
- A live site that updates when the sheet does, with no deployment step
- Templates for directories and listings that already look finished
- Filtering, search and detail pages generated without configuration
If you would rather not build
- Airtable with a published view, which is free

Why this verdict
our own opinion · changed only by a person
86/100
Verdict yes at 86. A static site from a sheet is a build script. Validating rows and failing the build is what keeps it from degrading.
