Welcome to the Directus blog demo
What this is
This is a live demo of the standard Directus blog pattern. Every post on this page was created in the Directus admin, written in Markdown, and rendered through a Next-style frontend on Astro.
The whole setup took about 90 minutes from a blank Supabase schema to the page you are reading.
What you can do in the editor
- Type rich text with a toolbar (bold, italic, headings, lists, quotes, code)
- Drop images directly into the body and they upload to storage
- Schedule a post to publish at a specific date and time
- Save drafts and come back to them later
- Set categories, authors, featured images per post
- Roll back to a previous version if you make a mistake
Why Directus over WordPress
Three reasons most clients move:
- Speed. Pages render in under 200ms because the database is queried at build time, not on every request.
- Cost. Self-hosted or a cheap managed instance. No plugin subscriptions stacking up.
- Control. You own the database, the schema, the code, and the hosting. No vendor lock-in.
