  • Brand licensing has been operating the same way for decades: slow partner discovery, manual contract reviews, delayed royalty payments, and zero visibility into the process. Our partners at DATA C saw an industry ready for disruption. They built Dolicense, an AI-powered marketplace that fundamentally changes how brands and licensees connect and work together. Machine learning algorithms analyze brand attributes and licensee profiles to surface relevant opportunities in minutes instead of months. Natural language processing reviews licensing agreements automatically, flagging compliance issues before they escalate into legal problems. The platform runs on React and Directus, with the headless CMS handling all content management and providing a unified dashboard where users track agreements, monitor compliance, and view royalty payments in real-time. The Stripe integration automates the entire payment flow - no more spreadsheets or disputes over calculations. The results: → 60% reduction in partner discovery time, → 40% fewer legal disputes, and → 90% user satisfaction. Our favorite thing about this? How Data C took technology that exists - AI, automation, headless architecture - and simply applied it to an industry that's been largely ignored by modern software development. Proof that some of the biggest opportunities are in the least glamorous places...and all you need is the right stack 😉

    Vanguard Heavylift : Building with Purpose A weekend look back: scaling logistics through smart architecture. Vanguard’s platform upgrade wasn’t just about technology — it was about giving teams visibility, control, and flexibility. With Directus and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda, we built something that grows with them. Technology that enables progress — that’s Enamic. Check out the case study - https://lnkd.in/dJebmVpp #CaseStudy #Logistics #Directus #Cloud #Enamic

    We’re now an official Directus Partner! 🏔️ We’ve been using Directus for years — from quick MVPs to large-scale CMS implementations — and now it’s official. This partnership helps us deliver even better data-driven solutions, with faster setups, stronger support, and direct collaboration with the Directus team. We’re starting as a Basic Partner, but our next goal is to reach Bronze certification soon — and we’re already on the way.

    Developer advocate @directus. Founder of @bettersignshop. Designer, developer, builder, content creator. Father of 3 beautiful, yet rotten little girls.

    Developer tools live and die by their documentation. At Directus, our docs aren't bad – but we want them to be amazing. The kind developers bookmark and reference in Slack threads. We're looking for someone who genuinely loves taking complex technical concepts and making them crystal clear. Someone who can explain how things work without the jargon that makes people's eyes glaze over. Here's what makes this role different: you'll be learning Directus and updating the docs as you go. That "wait, why does this work this way?" moment you have as a new user? That's gold. That's exactly when the documentation should improve (and our product along with it 😉). So if you're a developer who writes well, loves communicating concepts clearly, and wants to have a massive impact on a product used by other developers (and content teams) worldwide, check us out: https://lnkd.in/e6wvWJeg

    I'm still running on fumes from a 4am arrival Monday, but also feeling more energized than I’ve been all year. Last week our global Directus team met up in Sardinia, and wow. Just... wow. Sure, the island was stunning (top 5 sunsets, easily), but what really hit wasn’t the scenery. It was the togetherness. Laughing, sharing food, jumping in the salty sea, talking about life, working side by side. All the small, human moments that remind you why we do what we do. Directus has always been global by design. We believe talent is everywhere, and that you don’t need four walls to build something extraordinary. But every now and then, you step into the same room as each other and feel the heartbeat behind the work. And the timing couldn’t have been better. We’re heading into the end of the year with so much ready to launch – things we’ve been building toward for a long time. This week refueled us exactly when we needed it. The energy coming out of Sardinia? Unreal. Huge love to everyone who made it happen, and to our crew who showed up from every corner of the world with such positive energy. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be part of a globally distributed team that actually feels like a team, this is it. ----- Looking ahead, we’re growing. Among the positions we have open right now is the need for an incredible Documentation Owner to help us level up our developer experience. Someone who can turn complexity into clarity, and help thousands of builders do their best work. If that’s you (or someone you know), let's connect. ----- Let’s keep building, keep connecting, and to the Directus team – in the immortal words of our trip MVP Beth... F.E.U.!! 💥

    MVP servers make AI work on a Different level!!!! The context they provided is incredible. AI workflows with few hallucinations is the ultimate outcome. I have been using Directus for 3 years now and trust me this tool is something else. Forget others like Strapi, Directus is King. Directus is a full on Data Engine that can sit on top of any relational SQL DB with powerfull tools to Access your data via automatically generated API endpoints, Perform automations on your data, Access Controls with Roles and Fine Grained Policies, Authentication and much more. And with thier Brand new MCP server integration it has become even more awesome! Over the years I have created SOPs to setup new projects, with CICD and automatic migrations with my DAN or NEND stack (Angular NestJS Directus or NextJS NestJS Directus). This setup has been working well for me. I model my data in Directus and create interphases in my frontend and backend code. So far and I can quickly setup and deploy a small to medium project with Authentication and it's initial data models in about 1-3 hours. Now I can do all that in ~30mins. The bulk of my time was always spent modeling my data in Directus, clicking through the UI, though it is satisfying because it's well designed, ultimately it's time consuming. My new workflow consists of doing the reverse. I use AI to generate the data model Interphases for the project entities in my frontend with comments to describe the data structure and relationships. When all looks good, I use the directus MCP server configured in my AI Coding Agent and simply prompt: 👉 "Create the collections with relationships in directus using the Interphases in @file/location" And Boom, there you go, workflow optimized, ~2hrs30mins saved. For someone like me who thinks faster than I can write code, this has been a game changer for me. I started my career as a software engineer but I later took on more Product Owner/Manager roles because the time it took for me to write code my mind had already thought of several features and things I wanted to test with clients and prospective users to see what sticks, I craved fast iterations, someone told me my mind was too Agile for coding. For me it always felt like coding was taking forever to catch up. But with AI we are getting closer to coding at the speed of thought with concepts like MCP and Context engineering, I am thrilled and in high expectations for what is coming next.

    Immer wieder laaaaangweilig 🥱 Mach doch mal anders 🔥 🤔 Ein CMS-Styling wie tausend andere? 👻 Für mich verschenktes Potenzial. Im Look & Feel des Kunden gestaltet, wird das Backend zum Teil der Marke – und nicht nur zur nüchternen Schaltzentrale. + Vertraute Gestaltung schafft Identifikation + Markenbewusstsein wird gestärkt + Kunden sehen, dass jedes Detail mitgedacht ist 🟣 Jetzt die Frage an dich: Backend im Corporate Design – echter Mehrwert oder eher „Nice to have“? __________ → Wenn sich dein Backend auch wie Opas alte Garage anfühlt, dann lass das doch mal ändern.
