microfeed VS Directus

Microfeed (https://www.microfeed.org/) is what I want from a UI/UX perspective, but it's not really self hosted (it's completely dependent on Cloudflare services for hosting).

If you like Cloudflare and want to host a few GB media files (e.g., audio, video...) for free, then you can try microfeed: https://github.com/microfeed/microfeed

Closest I find is https://www.microfeed.org/ but it's more for sharing media files rather than a microblog.

i’ve been using django/postgres for over a decade. if it were 5 years ago, i’d use django/postgres.

but recently i would use cloudflare pages, r2, d1, zero trust… in many cases, we don’t want to put eggs in the same basket. but in some cases (eg, building mvp, toy projects…), it’s convenient to be on an all-in-one platform .

for example, i recently launched a cms entirely on cloudflare: https://www.microfeed.org/

I feel like microfeed: https://github.com/microfeed/microfeed and Argun Ganesan’s Edge Blog, both enabled by the open alpha of D1, represent a point of change where users of Cloudflare’s developer platform are moving from deploying their own apps to deploying apps created by others.

Directus is an open data platform built to serve as a headless CMS, API, or Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) for other applications. It is designed to make data accessible to people of all technical levels and to make it easy to build data-centric applications. Directus is extensible and can be integrated with many different frontend technologies to create stable, well-structured development and user experiences.

As of April 2024, Directus' GitHub repository has accumulated 25.2k stars and 3.5k forks, showcasing its active community. The project has secured $8+ million in funding, further fueling its growth and development.

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

today I discovered https://directus.io/

You could try https://www.airtable.com/ (check the prices) or https://directus.io/ (check the prices) or hire someone :)

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
