My new client hates WordPress with a passion so I am currently seeing what everyone is using for a CMS that supports a headless architecture.

I am also not a fan of WordPress and I have spent some time checking out alternatives. Netlify CMS has been great in my experience. Play around with some templates [0] and see how you like it. I also had an outstanding experience recently using CouchCMS [1] to retrofit an existing static website with a CMS.

[Kirby](https://getkirby.com) is very nice, but it depends on the project

We us Drupal at work (university), which theoretically does headless, but Sanity.io is the one that has turned my head. It's headless, but it also let's you code the admin components.

Drupal is so much better now with config in code and use of composer. The new release cycle has made it much easier to upgrade, with small steady improvements (compared to upgrading between versions of the past).

The new admin UI is great too.

I believe headless for drupal is improving. jrockowitz posted a video on his blog with use of schema.org

Drupal supports headless. It's an investment to learn but works well.

I would look into Contentful, Prismic, Sanity, and Strapi (among others).

DokuWiki. If it's just about quickly sharing one page with some pictures, videos, structured text and a descriptive URL, which I also can easily set permissions for outside people, logged-in users, specific groups,... a wiki for me does the job preeeeeeetty well so far. Plus, all my info is already there. Not comparable to all the other solutions mentioned here though, neither feature-wise nor philosophically.

Oh, and DokuWiki uses .txt files for its pages, which can directly be edited from the file system.
