I'm seeking advice on building a high-density, visual-first technical archive that resembles a curated digital museum rather than a traditional wiki like Wikipedia. The goal is to develop a platform that can manage structured data with thousands of entries and relational links while showcasing high-quality visuals seamlessly. Here are my core requirements: It needs to handle structured data effectively, support high-resolution media without compromising performance, offer a fast and intuitive user experience, and be self-hostable. I've considered using Ghost for its publishing capabilities, but I'm concerned about its ability to manage deeply nested data. Wiki.js could provide the structure I need, but it feels more like technical documentation. I'm looking for modern suggestions for a 'visual wiki' that meets these needs, including headless CMS options like Payload or Strapi, static site generators, or successful setups using Ghost or WordPress for professional archives. Any insights or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated!

Have you thought about using Drupal? It's got a great reputation for handling structured content, and it might just give you the flexibility you need for your project.
Interesting choice! I haven't looked into Drupal in a while. I’ll definitely check what’s new with it.
