I am been following and have done small contributing to directus for some time. Never seen a team dedicated as them and their contribution to open source and support is really appreciate

Me and my team at Banco del Sol use Directus to build a Bank web Page, it is simple awesome! if you have the opportunity to do it... don't doubt about it
Ben Haynes
@mario_leon That's amazing to hear, Mario... thanks! We have a very strong user-base with banks, financial institutions, and governments because of the ability to self-host Directus on-premises (without a license, paywalls, or other limitations). 🏦 While our platform and Cloud service are absurdly secure, some projects simply require a solution with end-to-end transparency and control. While some other vendors don't like or resect that, we embrace this flexibility and love building such an open-ended platform. I'd love to hear more about your project, if you're open to sharing! Have a great day!

I have first tried directus a few years back when it was still based on php and it didn't work out for me. When I saw a few months ago that directus migrated to node and redid the entire platform I had to give it another try. And I am really astonished of what the team built! It's an amazing looking, developer friendly platform that serves all my needs as a CMS.

@jack_em Thank you! Thrilled to have won you back over. We are so excited about v9 and all the incredible possibilities. We look forward to getting your input and feedback that will help us lift your projects to the next level.🤝
Ben Haynes
@jack_em Glad you came back to give us another try!! The Directus 9 port to node.js was a full refactor (obviously), but it gave us a unique opportunity to really clean up the code, make it modular, and really focus on performance. 🦾 We're happy to report that the entire developer experience is like a dream now. While you don't need to work on the core codebase, being open-source, it's nice to know that you can! 🤗 Anything you've been looking for in a platform that we haven't implemented yet? We're excited to get a nice list of todos for our engineers!

Brilliant! Directus 9 offers so many possibilities and it covers all needed sectors! Besides very inspiring and easy to use features, I must say that the interface has an additional spark for inspiration! It's really great! Big congratulations on the launch! ^_^ I have a question related to creation of tailored system for CRM: is it possible to save a dashboard details, to download set of parameters maybe? :)
Jonathan Wagner
@maria_brm Thank you for the excellent feedback! Need a bit of clarification on the question - Are you asking if we can download an Insights Dashboard? e.g. as a pdf or similar?
Maria
@w0kyj Yes, exactly, can it be downloaded as a pdf, or excel file for example? :)
Ben Haynes
@w0kyj @maria_brm Technically yes, you can use the browser to Print the Dashboard... and choose "Print as PDF". It's a workaround, but will work until we have more Insights Export options!
Maria
@w0kyj @benhaynes Awesome! *_* Thanks a lot for the answer! I am looking forward to gathering my first experiences on this amazing platform! ^_^
Zach
Nice!
Ben Haynes
@zacharyd Thanks, Zach!
Michael Preston
@benhaynes Congratulations Ben and the team! The platform looks great! Really love the white-label aspect.
Ben Haynes
@mpreston2710 Thanks, Michael! Truly letting go of all your branding in the name of full white-labeling is a difficult pill to swallow. Even I had some trouble with the concept when some users asked us to remove our name from places in the source code so they could resell Directus as if it were theirs. But it's an important part of building an Enterprise solution. No one wants someone else's logo/design plastered all over their systems. Even when the other company's branding is as good as ours! 🐰
