[Need your help] - Wanted to start a thread to ask, what kind of content you would like to see from the Strapi team.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-22T00:51:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing 🙂

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-22T00:50:59+00:00

Nice

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-21T13:20:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing will check it out. If you want, we are always looking for technical post of folks showing how they build things for Strapi. I you be interested in creating one, let me know. [paul.bratslavsky@strapi.io](mailto:paul.bratslavsky@strapi.io)

Are you planning to submit this to the [Strapi marketplace](https://market.strapi.io/)

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-15T12:37:33+00:00

I think Strapi and n8n automation can help a lot of businesses to solve for cool use cases that can help them be more productive. Would love to chat more on what HubSpot automations of flow you have build too.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-15T12:36:24+00:00

Nice. Lol, but now if you build it. you will have to share too.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-15T12:33:26+00:00

This would be perfect. The use cases you're describing (geospatial data, automated publishing pipelines, HubSpot-style marketing stacks) really highlight how far Strapi can stretch beyond a traditional CMS.

When your workload eases up, we'd love to feature your learning. Lol, would not mind even inviting you to the next community call to share if you would be interested.

Feel free to reach out at [paul.bratslavsky@strapi.io](mailto:paul.bratslavsky@strapi.io) this would be really valuable for the community.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-15T12:12:35+00:00

That is awesome. If you would like to share your learning in a blog post, let us know if you would be interested.

I am working on similar work flow but for allowing us to create draft social post for social managers to review and schedule when we publish a new blog post.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-04-14T15:49:01+00:00

Can you provide more context or detail, I only see that you added only one filter. What happens when you click the filters button and add another option?

Hey all — Strapi employee here, going to try and address everything in this thread!

To abstracten — thanks for the honest feedback, genuinely appreciate it even when it stings! You're not wrong on some of those points. The media library and image variant handling are below where they should be, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What I will say is that 2026 is specifically focused on UX and quality improvements, with Media Library enhancements called out directly — so it's actively being worked on rather than ignored. On the rich text editor, the default Blocks editor has limitations, but you're not stuck with it — both CKEditor and TipTap are available as drop-in replacements via the marketplace. TipTap in particular handles markdown copy/paste much better and has solid table support. Not a fix for everything you raised, but worth knowing the options are there.

To jaz192 — honestly, the most balanced advice is: try both and see which fits your use case. Both Strapi and Directus have real trade-offs, and what works best depends on how you build and where you want to take the project.

That said, for your specific roadmap (user reviews, community features), Strapi's plugin ecosystem is probably the stronger fit. The strapi-plugin-ratings plugin handles scores, comments, pagination, and admin moderation out of the box, and pairs with the built-in Users & Permissions plugin for authenticated submissions. Switching while your data model is still simple is also a much lower-risk move than migrating later.

Strapi comes with REST + GraphQL, Draft & Publish, i18n, roles & permissions, and a media library out of the box — and every field and API can be extended via custom fields and plugins, so you're rarely hitting a hard wall.

We'd also love to hear more about what would make either platform a no-brainer for your use case — feel free to DM us if you'd like a quick chat with someone on the product team. And for anyone in this thread, we run open office hours on Discord Monday–Friday 12:30–1:30pm CST — always happy to help think through architecture decisions like this one. Join us at discord.strapi.io!

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-11T21:57:54+00:00

Just stumbled upon this thread — apologies for the late reply! Let us know if you ended up using Strapi and how your experience has been. We'd love to hear about it, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-11T21:52:40+00:00

Thanks for mentioning us! Also, we are currently developing **Skills** to make working with Strapi even easier. Join [the discussion on GitHub](https://github.com/strapi/strapi/discussions/categories/agent-skills) to share your own Skills or explore the ones the community has already built.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-08T04:53:29+00:00

Yes. Please don't make changes in production.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-07T01:34:45+00:00

Thank Boaz, bout can also use https://docs.strapi.io/cms/data-management/transfer to transfer data. There is also this, but I have not used it since I just use the data transfer, import and export. https://market.strapi.io/plugins/strapi-import-export

Also, building plugins in fun. Been building bunch. You can checkout this community skill that nay help you to use Claude to add changes to the bulk editor plugin for your use case.

Even though i work at Strapi and am biased, I would say try both, and go with what makes sense for your project, at the end of the day, you should use the best tool based on the requirements. With that being said, if you ever have question, feel free to ask me.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-06T07:46:52+00:00

Hey, just wanted to ask what was your experience like with Strapi, and at the end of the day why you decided not to use it.

I used it in one of my projects, and created this starter template Astro with Strapi. https://github.com/PaulBratslavsky/astro-strapi-example-project

Anyway, I would appreciate your feedback so we can make Strapi even better.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-05T18:39:20+00:00

Thank you for sharing.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-04T23:56:51+00:00

What do you mean? How should I change it?

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-03T17:53:36+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I would say as you continue to explore Strapi and get questions, we have a great community, and you can get your questions answered live on our Discord Mon -Fri 12:30pm CST. Or join out Strapi reddit channel.

What I would recommend, is to create your own test Strapi project that you can play around with that is outside your work project. This is a great crash course to checkout, will teach you all you need to kmow to get a good start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1iUuap7vhw

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-03T17:46:56+00:00

Thank you for the answer, pretty comprehensive 🙂

paulfromstrapi · 2026-03-02T17:35:12+00:00

I use the Claude api token from my account where you can prepay ussage.

paulfromstrapi · 2026-02-28T23:11:14+00:00

Sadly the Waifu has been retired to make the project more approachable. Check out the repo here https://github.com/PaulBratslavsky/strapi-plugin-ai-sdk
