A Year to The Day

Is there anything about Ghost that, intrinsically, makes it better than other blogging platforms?<p>Seems to me it&#x27;s just reinventing a many times reinvented wheel (except this one is hip and popular).

Just as an aside. If you&#x27;re looking for something built in Node that&#x27;s more of a CMS, my Kickstarter for Webhook recently hit it&#x27;s goal. I really like Ghost as a blog service, but you might like our system if you need to build a more customized CMS experience for multiple editors.<p><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1749618880/webhook" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kickstarter.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;1749618880&#x2F;webhook</a>

&gt; - Ghost Dashboard<p>I&#x27;m really excited for that one, that was the reason I installed it in the first place only to realise it&#x27;s not available yet.

curious about what happened from current tagline and differentiating point from wordpress: &#x27;Just a blogging platform.&#x27;, to the statement here: &#x27;Ghost has the potential to be far more than just a blogging platform&#x27; ?

Please don&#x27;t rewrite titles unless they&#x27;re linkbait or misleading. (&quot;Ghost blogging platform, future.&quot; wasn&#x27;t even intelligible.) The post&#x27;s title, when combined with the site name, is fine.

Ghost promised to be a simple blogging platform. It&#x27;s simple if you use it as installed. It&#x27;s not so straightforward to tweak and upgrade. I&#x27;m not very excited about it anymore.

Does anyone have any recommendations for comment systems on Ghost? It looks like they themselves are using Disqus and Jeff Atwood is using Discourse (obviously) are there any other contenders?

I&#x27;m really glad that Ghost is progressing nicely — I&#x27;ve used it for a small project, and it was a really nice experience.

I didn&#x27;t think another blogging platform was really needed, but their stats and revenue make it sound successful. Congrats, they succeeded where I didn&#x27;t think it could be done, or would have just hosted WordPress and tweaked it if I was doing it myself.
