We're not going to accept this, but I want to provide some feedback so future submissions have a higher chance of being accepted.

Firstly, this is a lot. I don't see how, based on the topic, why Realtime or commenting is needed, for example. I'd rather have smaller scoped, more sensible, projects.

The other part of this is that there's nothing really new here - this could be a blog post. The only thing that makes this code snippet specific is frontend-rendering, which is cool but isn't Directus-related.
