@christian_abel No, thank you, Christian! We're big believers in the true spirit of open-source. It's not always the easiest path forward, but it's worked well for us with our Product-led Growth model. 😊

@avriel96 always love to hear how Directus have been useful to our users! We're also looking to update the solutions page of our site to reflect that as well πŸ‘

Congratulations on this wonderful product, we are using it to build a saas system which is almost in production already.

@tspvivek Thank you, Vivek!! It's still exciting for me to hear about any non-website use-cases, since we were considered "just" a Headless CMS for so long. I'd love to learn more about your SaaS to see how we might be able to help improve things further! πŸ‘

Hi @benhaynes πŸ‘‹, thanks for the great product 😎. I still has a question, when or how we will able to use our existing database tables with Directus πŸ™„?

@kodozani Hey! Directus can be installed on top of any existing (or new) SQL database, and the database won't be changed. We are also about to release remote SQL/database access for our Cloud, so that will enable the same thing. Also, thanks for the kind words!
Onur Keskin
@benhaynes Thanks for the details. My real problem is to use existing data, that is already there, but Directus cannot read or modify it. So that we can use its awesome features to old tables and schemas.

@kodozani Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but Directus can do that! If you want to use an on-prem database with our cloud service, that would be a "hybrid deployment", which we are working on too!
Onur Keskin
@benhaynes So we can edit any row or column in an existing schema/database from Directus UI? For ex. I have a AWESOME table with name, project, order columns. I want to alter this table with Directus UI/API to insert new data or new column. Could you please share a documentation link for this case study if I am not bothering you πŸ₯²

@kodozani Not a bother at all! But yes, this is exactly what Directus does. If you install Directus and point it to your database, you will instantly get a full CRUD API for all your tables... and a no-code app for managing things. SUPER old video (working on some new ones) but this shows how the pure database is mirrored in the App/API: https://youtu.be/AicEmIeuuLw?t=924

@maciej_cupial Thank you! As Nicola noted, we are here to help and would love to hear about your project :)

Wow, this has improved alot overt the years. I'm gonna jump back in and give it a spin. When I tried it out a couple of years ago it was a bit intimidating for someone like myself. it was obvious how powerful it was, but just immense. Now, it looks super approachable and easier to use- which is a big deal because it was already quite good.

@techronin A lot can happen in a few years!! πŸ˜† We've been working like crazy to improve the UX/UI of the App and API... not to mention switching from PHP to Node.js was an enormous undertaking/improvement. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Collin Thompson
@benhaynes Yeah, that migration was a wise decision. I'm definitely gonna check it out. Directus was way ahead of its time when it came out. Give me a few days and I will come back with some thoughts

@benhaynes @techronin Thank you! Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts :)

Hey, this product is a gift from angels to my project but I'd love to see an sample with data dashboards. Is there a public one we can go to and play around with?
Jonathan Wagner

@nathan_abergel Thank you! We are working on a new demo that includes sample data for the dashboards. In the meantime, reach out on one of the chats on the website and we can coordinate a demo time to get you started.
