Ghost.org seems pretty cool.
- mpol 2y agoI was expecting a commercial license, but it is MIT licensed, which holds promise.
- kolanos 2y agoGhost (and similar companies) probably can't believe their luck with this Wordpress debacle.
- addedlovely 2y agoWould like to use it, but doesn't seem to have any custom field support which is very limiting.
- shash7 2y agoGhost is good for blogging and newsletters. But that's the problem. Wordpress is used for much much more. You can use it as a CMS, LMS, news platform, saas platform, and much more. You can literally customize it to the bone. Ghost is a good alternative to wordpress, only if you're using it for 2-3 specific usecases.
- qingcharles 2y agoRight. Almost all Wordpress installs are now non-blogging.

And that freedom is also its weakness. "When all you have is a hammer, ..." comes to mind. I've had to rescue enough booking systems, LMS's, and SaaS platforms built on WordPress with terrible performance or 20% of features not working to think this is a terrible approach. > Ghost is a good alternative to wordpress, only if you're using it for 2-3 specific usecases. That's no bad thing. More specialised tools help with performance and UX for those tasks.
