Zip Hive
Zip Hive is a web tool that takes plain-text folder structures and visualises them as interactive trees, then generates downloadable ZIP files with the correct hierarchy.
The Problem
Developers and designers frequently need to create boilerplate folder structures for new projects. Manually creating dozens of nested folders is tedious and error-prone.
The Solution
Built a Next.js app that parses indented text input into a tree structure, renders it visually, and generates a downloadable ZIP file with the correct folder hierarchy using client-side ZIP generation.
Key Highlights
- Real-time tree visualisation of folder structures
- Client-side ZIP generation (no server needed)
- Supports nested folders up to any depth
- One-click download of generated ZIP files
- Clean, intuitive interface with live preview
- Discord community for feature requests and support
