Reviewer scorecard
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“Web standards-first approach means your apps work without JavaScript. Loaders and actions are elegant patterns.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“The merge with React Router v7 is pragmatic. Web fundamentals and progressive enhancement are the right foundation.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
“Merged into React Router. The ideas live on but the standalone framework identity is fading.”
