This started very simply.
A GitHub repo:
https://github.com/tusharpamnani/midnight-programs-list
It had some useful templates…
but going through them wasn’t the best experience.
-
Hard to browse
-
Hard to discover what’s useful
-
Easy to get lost
So I teamed up with Nikku.dev, and we asked:
“What would this look like if it was actually built for developers, not just stored in a repo?”
That’s how Midnight Club was born.

What is Midnight Club?
Midnight Club is an evolving hub for:
-
Templates
-
dApps & experiments
-
Blogs & learnings
All in one place, designed for exploration, not just storage.
What you can do today
-
Browse templates across categories like DeFi, governance, ZK, etc.
-
Understand what each template actually does (without digging through code first)
-
Discover ideas you can build on immediately
Builder identity
You can also register as a builder on Midnight Club and get a shareable card.
It’s a small feature, but intentional:
Early ecosystems grow when builders are visible.
Built on top of an open foundation
Everything still traces back to:
https://github.com/tusharpamnani/midnight-programs-list
Midnight Club is essentially:
the UI + discovery layer on top of that foundation
Why we built this
Midnight is still early, which means:
-
great ideas exist, but are scattered
-
examples exist, but are hard to navigate
-
builders exist, but aren’t visible
We wanted to:
-
make discovery easier
-
make starting faster
-
make builders more visible
What’s next
We’re still experimenting and learning what devs actually want.
Planned directions:
-
Better discovery across templates, blogs, and dApps
-
Highlighting active builders
-
More ecosystem-driven features
The goal
Turn Midnight into a builder-first ecosystem — not just a protocol.
Would love feedback:
-
What would make this genuinely useful for you?
-
What’s missing today?
-
What would you want to see next?
Let’s build this together!
