Reviewer scorecard
“Point it at any SQL database and get an instant API + admin UI. The most flexible headless CMS approach.”
“Type-safe search params and route params are game-changing. Catch route errors at compile time, not runtime.”
“Works with your existing database instead of forcing its own schema. Unique value proposition in the CMS space.”
“The type safety for search params alone justifies adoption. URL state management done right.”
“Database-first CMS makes more sense than CMS-first databases. Directus got the architecture right.”
“TanStack Router plus TanStack Start could become a serious full-stack framework contender.”
