Excellent CMS, user-friendly and it is very easy to manage data with the API. So far I have 4 projects in production that are related to Directus and I want to praise the team behind the whole story. As a very important thing, I can single out flows and transparency admin dashboard.

I discovered Directus few years ago when it was written in PHP. Since then, I use it for nearly all the websites I do. It has all the features that me and my clients want to manage their content, a beautiful and easy-to-use interface without non-wanted things. I use it with tools like Astro, Nuxt and other SSR/SSG engines and it's amazing. Thank you for your awesome work.
