In theory: Nothing! In reality: The same thing that has prevented that from happening for the last 6 years; a strong focus on a core set of usecases and no desire to become a generic website builder :)

At the moment we've just got a single plan with either a monthly or yearly price point, and adding support for more flexible subscription options is high on the todo list to work toward next!

This is a first version. We're certainly planning to add more payment options, including decentralised ones

Seems to be working ok for me, are you still having trouble?

Hi HN, John from Ghost here. Thanks for the comments about 3.0 — we spent a lot of late nights on this, and it's a pretty big upgrade for Ghost as a platform (which is now 6 years old). I know the audience here is generally more intere

We also integrate with Gatsby if you want the best of both worlds :) https://ghost.org/docs/api/v2/

Hi! John from Ghost here, had a quick look and can't see any issues on this side with the cert. It's a relatively new certificate, though, so there could be an old cache on an edge node somewhere which just hasn't fully updat

Glad to hear it's no big deal to solve it :) https://github.com/tryghost - looking forward to your PR!

You can also combine the two and use a Ghost back end with an Eleventy front-end, fwiw: https://ghost.org/docs/api/v2/eleventy/

We generally serve several of the front page stories on HN every day (some we host, some we don't) - so very used to dealing with high traffic loads @OP - If you're interested, drop me an email on john@ghost.org and I'll set

Sure thing! I Gatsby generates static HTML files from 1 or more data sources, which can be a filesystem or an API. When a Gatsby build runs, as long as it can access the API in question, then it can pull the content needed to generate a bui

Hi HN! John from Ghost here - happy to answer any questions about this. We rebuilt our docs using Gatsby and the Ghost API last year and ended up liking it so much that we rearchitected everything to make the the JAMstack workflow a first c

This is possible with Ghost :) it functions as a headless CMS and can be used with essentially any static site generator which can pull content from an API, eg. Gatsby -- https://docs.ghost.org/api/gatsby/ We&#x27

John from Ghost here - Firstly, big congrats to WP team for launching 5.0! We have lots of ideas around extensibility for Ghost, they just increasingly don't look very much like plugins. We've always been hesitant to ship somethin

We have no real way to do anything here, unfortunately. Medium deliberately export a totally vague dump of HTML files which don't even contain publication date and are essentially unintelligible. They also have no API to read from. The

Not strictly true, Ghost has a lot of built-in features for SEO. In particular: Detailed schema.org microformats and structured data, automatic canonical tags, automated + user override-able custom meta data, automatic XML sitemaps, SEO fri

Yes it can, it's not a perfect experience (yet) but quite a lot of people are already using it in this way. We're also generally interested in a more decoupled approach to the front end, so you can expect this to improve further i

Fair point, I probably could've included some useful context there - thanks for the tip!

Agreed

Yeah! Very interested - we have a highly voted topic for it over on the forum with some ideas, too. It's not a primary focus of the core team right now, but it's the sort of thing we'd be very interested in open source contri

Heyo, John from Ghost here. Thanks for the kind words so far about 2.0 — it’s been a hectic few months! Earlier this year I talked about how we were shifting focus from simplicity to power - https://blog.ghost.org/5/ -

Given that she's the CTO of the company, lead developer of the project, the most senior engineer on the team, literally one of the top JavaScript developers on all of Github - https://github.com/erisds.. . what do you t

That's cool, but we literally don't have a marketing department. So whoever gets hired will report directly to me, no matter what their title is. The primary function of the role is to do writing, not engineering - and the success

Yes George. WordPress.com is a centralised, multi-tenant application which also syncs code from the open source project. Very good. It's still not equivalent to running the same code, or being in any way a comparable to a managed host.

There's an embedded podcast episode at the end of the post where Hannah and I discuss the remote team aspect in a bit more detail. Drop me a line on Twitter if there's anything specific you want to know - same username as here!

I think you've pretty spectacularly missed the mark here, Torsten.

I do! It's nuanced, and every language decision has benefits and drawbacks. Making a bet on JavaScript/Node.js 5+ years ago was a big risk - a lot of people laughed at us or chastised the decision. A lot of those people are now al

So, on a post which discusses problematic behaviour on Github where entitled people try to bully us into working on what they want without writing any code themselves -- you (someone who has tried to bully us before on Github) -- decide tha
