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.

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’s like WordPress, but good.

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