Not sure if this has already been posted since it’s kind of old news (early 2024), but I think that’s exciting. I’m currently looking into blog software with nice webgui and I might wait for this to become real. Looking at the announcement page, they seem to take it seriously and there’s continuous merged PRs since April until recently regarding AP on their GitHub.
Just curious but is Ghost like an alternative to Wordpress or Squarespace?
It’s a blogging platform. So similar to WordPress. Although it looks a lot nicer.
The really cool thing is that it has support for payments in the Self-hosted version, which I’ve not personally seen before.
gotcha thanks!
huh that’s actually pretty neat!
Wordpress has become an all-purpose CMS known security vulnerabilities via unsafe plugins.
Ghost has APIs instead of plugins for nearly everything, so it eliminated a lot of security and maintenance headache that way.
Ghost focuses on just a few features centered around independent content creators: blogging, email newsletters and subscriptions.
So features for sending bulk emails and accepting payments are built in, but you won’t find native support for other things like podcasts or recipe markup.
Ghost meets my need, and I love not dealing with 30 plugins at risk of being exploited if I don’t upgrade them promptly.
It’s simpler/more lightweight than WordPress, but generally yes (don’t know squarespace)
I’ve seen it mostly touted as an alternative to Substack.
