Man I'm totally coming back to directus, the fact it was in php before was a boomer for me, now it integrates seamlessly with my stack

Commenting for algorithm. This Shit needs more views.

Thanks, well done! Would be cool to elaborate a bit about GraphQL in the next series...

[LandsharkTank]

Great primer. Would love to see something on building relationships with directus.

just amazing! Can't wait for new tutorials! This is one of the best headless CMS I've seen in a while. Just wow!

[FranckMercado]

Super! Will play around with relationships feature and API requests

[SantiagoMA]

WoW! This is amazing, I tried the previous version of Directus and thought "oh look what a great headless CMS! "I know some PHP but I'm not familiar with it but I'll keep an eye on it anyway. But this version looks like a whole new level.

Really nice looking and working CMS. Would love to see more demos like this, like how to create a blog website for for example :)

[vitormelo]

Thank you very much, for a long time I admired this platform. I am happy with the new videos that complement the documentation very well, continue.
I would like to see a video of importing data from Wordpress in the future.

[subhasishdas]

This is really amazing! Please make more videos of this! I installed it already.

Great tutorial. Quick question, how to add Directus to pm2 ? I would like to make Directus run in the background along other node apps using pm2, , unfortunately I'm not able to do it

[josevarela]

This is so awesome. I have been searching for a platform like this for a long time. Thank you <3

[rosolovsky]

Great! This UI is better than Strapi! And how to get an item by slug???

[hermesalvesbr]

Awesome, thanks for sharing with us 🎉

So the SQL database will be created in a format that is readable by other CMS? Data portability is very important to me so I want to make sure I'm understanding. I like the idea of having all my articles in a separate database, but it sounds like I'd still be starting from scratch plugging my object storage into tables if I moved elsewhere

Just a couple days ago I posted this on Gridsome's Discord channel: "Are there any helpful tutorials on using Directus 9 with Gridsome? Setting up Directus on a local dev environment with MAMP Pro? Basically, something like 'Getting started with Directus for Wordpress/ACF users' is what I'm looking for."
