This looks great, I need to build a customer request management system for our construction company, it's basically a CRUD and this looks like a perfect fit.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm interested to hear how you find it - I looked at it to manage some parts of an already existing system (postgres + sqlalchemy) and there are some quirks.

It doesn't automatically detect foreign keys and make the fields for them correctly. Furthermore, it seems like they don't even use foreign keys for the models created through their UI - I checked the github issues, it seems like all of this is planned but work on it seems to have just started.

I would not reccomend directus. Ive used it for a project and it always is buggy and SLOOOOWWWWW. It looks like a candy of a database manager but it’s not. Plenty of features missing.
Interesting! was that before or after the rewrite in nodejs? Looks like they released the rewrite in November '20.
Before.
