Motor Admin VS Directus

Tangential: MotorAdmin is a pretty reasonable, mountable, Rails-based option.

I'm using it to pack BrowserUp, a command line app that can run load tests in Ruby using your own Ruby/Capybara/Selenium/Cuprite libraries (note: still alpha, ping if interested). Motor Admin ships a web app with a no-code admin utility. I think Shopify would have been way better off using this for their latest command line interface rather than taking on a Node dependency, but they might not have realized this was an option, so that's part of why I'm sharing this.

There seems enough competitors when this looks like a tool from 20 years ago with limited functionality.

If you somehow do not use the obvious GUI tools like TablePlus, Postico or SequelAce but prefer web based, there are some that actually look modern.

For readonly usage, Metabase is good.

You should check Motor Admin open-source tool (disclaimer: I'm the creator of the tool): https://github.com/motor-admin/motor-admin

Thats exactly how Motor Admin works :)

Their main home page doesn't mention Supabase: https://www.getmotoradmin.com/

If you want a more codeless approach (not as customizable, but it already looks good and works fine out of the box), I suggest Motor Admin. You just plop it in your project, run a few migrations and it's ready to go. From that point forward, you can add forms, graphs, and query all of your models without coding as much.

There are many open-source no-code tools so you can gain full control over your data/application with them as well as contribute into the source code.

For instance, you can deploy an admin panel with https://www.getmotoradmin.com/ (plug) and save a lot of time building custom internal tools.

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.

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.
