What are the best options these days? I'm building a site that's going to be like a wiki or archive of information. It needs to have good content editing capabilities and the categorization of information is very important.
It's a side project so I didn't really want to use WordPress and maybe take the opportunity to learn something new.
I started looking into these headless CMS platforms and some of them seem quite impressive:
But what do people think? Is it a bad idea to build a large content-based site with something like this? Any other good options?

Strapi will work for a highly customized CMS, if you need different page models "data objects". I worked with it in conjunction with a headless Shopify build with lots of custom content.

I like https://getgrav.org with https://obsidian.md . super nice in content management and knowledge mapping.
- Thanks that last one in particular looks interesting. It's nice to see some different approaches.yuekit
- https://publish.obsi…yuekit
- grav is a flat file markdown cms, so use obsidian to create, grave to publish.plash
- install grav within the obsidian database vault.plash
- Craft cmsSmurf
- Also KirbySmurf
- plash do you find Obsidian is full-featured enough as an editor for non-programmers? Are there any particular plugins/ setup you use with it?yuekit
- non-programmers Yup! Obsidian is blowing up in the dev/data commuity b/c of its accessible nature, as for plugins yeah "dataview", obsidian needs a thread!plash
- I'm definitely using it as a note-taking app and the overall concept is appealing. The disconnect (may just be my ignorance) is that the support for "customyuekit
- fields" or "metadata" seems less robust compared with a regular CMS.yuekit

The OG Tech for wikis is Media Wiki: https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Med…
That's what Wikipedia uses.
- This is a much smaller project but the design of the UI is quite good IMO:

Thanks...there are so many options for something like this with different approaches it's difficult to decide which is best.
A few others I looked at:
https://payloadcms.com/
https://www.notion.so/
https://www.contentful.com/JS based wiki software:
Obsidian seems appealing its simplicity so looking into that one more...
- I just saw your initial comment RE Wordpress and some of these look very cool!
Also use Wordpress!
; )ideaist - Yeah I was partly interested to see what's out there. WP has a lot of staying power but it gets pretty bloated with all the plugins, page editors etc.yuekit
- eh, these are good.
wp is well made if it only has the necessary 3rd plugins and everything else is custom made for a headless front-end.sted - all other approaches are obsolete or can be solved more efficiently with other frameworks.sted
