What is Ghost?

Yet another site or project where you read endless paragraphs that talk abstractly about ideas and concepts instead of just showcasing what the delivered product/app actually is or looks like. Drives me up the goddamn wall sometimes. Why should I be interested, you know what I’m saying?

  Basically, a blog/website platform, similar to Wordpress, but without the drama.

    I’ve gotten lots of responses, but the clear and simple info should be on the site itself rather than here. 👍

  It’s a really popular alternative to substack, for one. That’s mostly how I know about it — many writers of conscience migrated over when ss went rotten.

  It’s like WordPress, but good.

  Ghost is a powerful app for professional publishers to create, share, and grow a business around their content. It comes with modern tools to build a website, publish content, send newsletters & offer paid subscriptions to members.
  
  For me, this first paragraph from the site says clearly that they are a tool to build sites and sell content.

    I had looked into it for my running club because it had built in mailing lists through subscribers and such but it def feels like a CMS geared toward a commercial entity. I’m sure it’s great as just a blog setup but it just wasn’t what i was looking for.

    It needs a show case, to show me what it can do! Like, is the output? Does it spit out a React project? Does it post directly to a hosted CMS type service? What!
    
    There’s just too much of what we in Sweden would call “word shitting”. Lots and lots of words that say fuck all.

  It’s a blogging / newsletter tool. The article I linked to is run on Ghost. So this is what it looks like.

    Then it should say that clearly somewhere on the site. 🤷‍♂️

  It looks like a WordPress competitor. I didn’t check what it’s written in.

    At least WP is free, Ghost is as “free” until you find out its only useful with the rest of the payed platform. editorjs.io is much better in that sense.
