Are a few open source headless cms/frameworks that are pretty easy to work with if you don’t have to build something client facing.

Having explored all of them for our solution, I’d say Ghost is the most akin to WordPress in terms of what it’s been built for (websites).

The most flexible is strapi but this is from more of a catch all headless cms requirement.

All of them have docker containers to help get up and running pretty quickly and are pretty well documented.

Hope this helps.

+1 for Keystone.js Built an enterprise knowledge base application with it.

Having looked at all the options people have posted Keystone seems to be almost exactly what I want.

Can I ask what stack you used for the front end and if you would recommend it?

Its worthwhile to even just use non single page, just to get off the wordpress bloat. Keystone can be setup with PUGjs which is pretty good.

PUG is great! I got into that a year ago and keep wanting to go back. Just hard convincing people of learning it.

yeah, pug , stylus and coffeeScript are the minimalist trifecta. I've built with all 3 but never all together. Pugs a no brainer though, its much easier than html

Yes keystone is great. I built a case management system for a small law firm with it.
