  This is the repo.

  However, it seems they’re running a business, which means revenue generating features will probably be prioritized. They’re not running a charity.

  I’m sure if you donate enough money you can probably get them to implement better self hosting functionality. Chances are the email requirement is just what they have for other features.

    Ghost is just one piece of selfhosted software. But I have inquired and they have declined.

    They’re not running a charity.

    They are, actually. They’re a registered non-profit.

    More unnecessary functionality.

      What was their reason for declining?

      I see they’re a non profit business. That doesn’t make them a charity. They have paying customers.
