The @ProductHunt daily email is looking very nice today! Thank you for all the support and interest yesterday, we’re still over there answering your questions about Monospace 🥳

Monospace is live on Product Hunt 🚀 Monospace is a governed API layer that sits between your data and everyone who builds on it. Connect any data source to give people, agents, and apps live read-write access under one permissions model. Find out more and let us know what you think: directus.is/monospace-ph

We've been quietly building something for months. Today it's officially in public preview. Here's the shift we kept seeing: AI has made everyone a builder. Business users, developers, and AI agents all want to build apps and workflows on your company's core data now. The catch is most of them can't actually get at that data, so good ideas stall before they ever ship. And the people who can hand out access have no clean way to control what gets built, or by whom. Lock it all down? You kill the momentum. Leave it open? You lose control. So we built Monospace: the unified backend your whole organization builds on. Connect your data sources, get an instant API to build on, and give platform teams one place to govern access across everything. We've had early customers testing it in private. Today we're opening it up.

Most backends are built for developers. But the rest of the team is building, too. Directus v12 is out today. A major upgrade built around one idea: the whole team should be able to work on the same backend without getting in each other's way. Here's what shipped: An improved content editing experience. Native draft and publishing workflows built into the core. AI-assisted translations. Scale across languages with schema scaffolding handled for you. Granular access control for AI. Agents act on behalf of real users with the right permissions applied. Oh...and we launched a new website (what up .com!), clarified our license with the new Open Innovation Grant, and completely revamped our documentation today too.
