@kleorier Thank you! We appreciate the kind words and look forward to supporting many more of your projects :)

@kleorier Merci de la part de l'équipe, compatriote!

@kleorier Merci, Karel!! It's amazing to see so many long-time community members here, we're all about these long-term partnerships. 💙 🤍 ❤️

@sinikiwe_phahlane Thank you! Off to the races.

@sinikiwe_phahlane Thanks!! We're really excited to share this launch with the community, and are already planning a bunch of new features and big announcements for the coming months! Exciting times for sure! 🎉

@ayaz_karimov1 Thank you!!! With the help of awesome developers and content managers we hope to revolutionize the way people manage data/content. Cheers!

@ayaz_karimov1 Yeehaw!! 🤠 You'll absolutely love our brand new Insights Module... it lets you create completely custom dashboards based on any data in your database. It has panels for metrics, dynamic lists, time-series charts, and labels... but the Panels themselves are extensions (just like everything in Directus), so you can literally create anything! 👀 No one will probably notice this, but my favorite thing about the Insights dashboard panels is that they "pop" together when you drag them close on the grid. So you can actually combine them into really clean layouts. ✨

@benhaynes Believe in me I am already excited, that`s really cool stuff that you build. It is no long time that I`m on this platform, but definetely your poduct is may fav <3

@ayaz_karimov1 That's great to hear! Give it a whirl, and let us know what you think. We always welcome our user's feedback!

@andreasfruth Nice! Glad you're liking the platform so far! This is an awesome idea, and one I think of quite a bit: how can we best visualize nested relational data. There are a few options we're going through, and one or more will 100% be included... hopefully in the coming month or so. Tree-View Layout — This is an easy one... tree views are built for relational data. So if you're on the Authors collection, you could expand to view nested Articles within each. The main question here is: should this be a dedicated Layout, or built into the existing Table Layout? Item Grouping — Another way to do this would be to allow relational Grouping. What I love about this one is that it could work on more Layouts... combining to make things even more flexible/powerful. For instance, you could have grouping on a Table, Card, or custom layout, where you're seeing Articles grouped by their Author. Split View — Slightly different, this option could also use ANY Layout type. It would essentially add a right section (always open and non-blocking, unlike our drawer) that shows nested items (eg: Articles) when you select an item (eg: an Author). Of course you could also get part of the way there with Displays... but I like the idea of seeing the bigger picture all at once! Would love your thoughts on the above! 🧐

@benhaynes Sorry, I totally missed this. I think for my use case best would be the split view, showing related items (like articles on an author page) as a table detail (configurable). But i believe the other can be also useful. I will reach out to you guys to keep you up to date with my progress! :)

@andreasfruth Awesome, thanks!

@eva_butler Thank you! Ben and the team fixate on almost every pixel ;)

@eva_butler Thanks, Eva!! 🥰

@theharshin Thank you! Our team, contributors and community help make everyday fun and interesting :)

@theharshin Thank you, Harsh, that really means a lot. We're so thankful for you and the rest of our amazing contributors... can't wait to see where we can take the platform from here! 💪

@deling Thank you! We wish the same :)

@deling Yeehaw! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help support your different projects. We absolutely love feedback, and are always looking for ways to improve support for new and innovative types of projects. 🤙

@katiejuneruppel Thank you! Look forward to hearing your thoughts :)

@katiejuneruppel Thank you for the kind words, Katie!! ❤️

@armand_n_guessan We love the database too! That's why we're working so hard to build a platform that works for your database... instead of you having to work with our database. 👍

@armand_n_guessan Thank you! As @benhaynes stated we love the database too. Data/content is the most valuable asset we have and making it accessible the best way to succeed. Let us know how we can improve and help you be successful!🤝

@benhaynes that's awesome sir keep it up

@armand_n_guessan Thanks! Been going strong for 18 years... we won't be slowing down any time soon!

@benhaynes @w0kyj sure sir I will as soon as possible. thanks sir Jonathan that's very kind of you

@vanderlei_corr Very much appreciate the feedback and we agree. No date available yet, but we are working on our community cloud solution.

@vanderlei_corr 100% This is the next big thing we're super excited to share with our community... a free Cloud infrastructure for our free product! We're aiming to wrap up R&D on this in the coming weeks, and are trying really hard to get our Community Cloud released before the end of this year. That said, we want to make sure this free service still showcases the native speed and quality of Directus, so we don't want to rush the process. We'll be posting more updates on how things are progressing on our Discord community and Twitter... so stay tuned! 🌤️
