ProcessWire VS Directus

Bottom one looks better. First one reminds me of ProcessWire.

ProcessWireProcessWire is a fantastic CMS/CMF (content management framework) and I think it is a good fit for your skills. Works with any front end CSS although my personal preference is UIkitUIkit.

Over the years I have tried different frameworks, mostly in PHP, like Code Igniter (2010), ProcessWire (2014) and Laravel (2015).

The idea of tons of 3rd-party plugins, with WordPress and also Drupal, is just disastrous for security.

Anyone with any ability to write a little PHP would be far far better off building their site in a CMS like ProcessWire [1], which has a very small core, but a extremely powerful content (PHP) API [2], which means you can replicate pretty much everything you have in Wordpress and Drupal with a few API calls in your templates.

This means you build your listing and presentation-logic custom made with the minimal amount of code needed, and the attack vector shrinks to pretty much nothing, as long as you don't voluntarily do something stupid.

It is incredibly rare that I see anyone mention ProcessWire. I used to use it years ago and still subscribe to regular emails. It is indeed a great CMS/CMF. https://processwire.com/

ProcessWire is one option.

Regardless of that, I'd like to throw in ProcessWire as an option. You basically define all your fields and templates you want to have in the admin, and then you create your templates. You can also use Page Classes to extend functions for a specific template. Your application sits in the "sites" folder and is separated from core. I'm running two websites with that one.

If you're a PHP user, check out ProcessWire.

I'm looking for a headless CMS solution that offers a good content editing strategy. I'm used to working with Statamic and Processwire, both of which allow you to create your own "Content blocks", which can be re-used by the editor / user and are set up in ways which allow you to define them.

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.

It depends on your skillsets, but I'd highly recommend https://directus.io/ especially if you need "slickness" to raise money otherwise try a pyhat stack if you hate javascript.
