NextPress

Hey everyone! Matt Minor here from Directus. I'm excited to share NextPress with you all today. Talking with devs who work extensively with WordPress and other modern web tech, we've seen firsthand the challenges and frustrations many are facing with traditional CMS platforms. The recent drama has only amplified the need for more flexible, developer-friendly alternatives. That's why we worked with Colby Fayock to build NextPress. It combines the power of Next.js for lightning-fast performance with the flexibility of Directus as a headless CMS. Here's what makes it special: - Easy setup: Get a blog running in minutes - Full customization: Extend and modify to fit your needs - Modern stack: Leverage the latest web technologies - Open-source: Free to use and contribute to Whether you're looking to move away from WordPress or just want a fresh start with a modern stack, NextPress gives you the tools to build beautiful, performant blogs without sacrificing ease of use. We're here to answer any questions and would love to hear your feedback!

Having an open source alternative to challenge incumbents is always great to make sure these companies really provide value add for their work rather than rely on outdated business models. Thanks guys for taking the time to build this!

Finally, a blog starter that gets me. Next.js + Directus = ❤️‍🔥. So easy to use and customize.
