I’d like to create an open source CMS in php with more customizable things & headless. Is it a good idea?

Anyone ever tried to do something like that? What do you think of this project? How much time for development and first building of the community?

First of all, there are hundreds of open source PHP CMS over the internet. It's good to surf around their codes and functionalities before starting one.

Agree with @pulimoodan, there are plenty of PHP CMS solutions out there. Two more popular examples:
github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3
github.com/craftcms/cms

I have built several custom CMS system in the past. At this point my perception is that for learning purposes it is a cool project to do, to cover a business need IMO is better to first study carefully what is available.

Unless very specific needs, most of the functionalities one could expect are very likely already implemented, and unless you are into the CMS market (in which case there is no doubt about implementing your own) it is not something that will pay off.
