The team working behind the scenes on ActivityPub at Ghost grew from 3 to 8 in 2025, and now we’re ramping up our work to launch things officially in Ghost 6.0 in the next month.
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?
Edit: alright guys, every person doesn’t have to reply saying what it is. I’m not actually interested anymore. My point was to whine about how it wasn’t clear from their home page. 👍 When I realized it was too hard to figure out what this is, I lost interest.
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.
What are you on about? It’s open source, you can self host.
It’s like WordPress, but good.
What’s wrong with wordpress
Besides having an ancient codebase and encouraging poor programming habits, it’s creator abandoned the project for months after an embarrassing public spat with another company. Plus its UX has gotten consistently worse over the last several years. It may have gotten more powerful, but also much less usable.
I remember using it like 15 years ago, and it was pretty shit back then too.
