outstatic VS Directus

Hey HN,

These claims that op has made have been found to be false. His project uses an Open MIT license, and I forked it like a good OSS community member does.

The main dealer breaker for me not using his code directly within my project was a serious GDPR and data privacy violation that I found on the surface of OP’s code.

https://github.com/avitorio/outstatic/blob/d440f8f53ee559fb3...

There is no disclaimers or privacy polices within OP’s website, project, or readers that say he is collecting analytics data, including sensitive GitHub project details.

Some of my users and customers require ISO2700 and SOC2 compliant solutions, and this was a huge red flag to us.

I contacted OP about it, and other security issues, but he blew me off and turned to trashing me online like this.

What do you think?

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.

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.
