Ghost: This is the future of Blogging!
Ghost is an open-source blogging platform that hopes to shake up the personal publishing space and it is nearing the end of its Kickstarter journey.
Its founder John O’Nolan is an accomplished designer and developer at WordPress. He started working there in 2005 and was the deputy head of the WordPress UI Group from 2009 to 2011.
As WordPress has grown in features, it has also grown in complexity. The initial focus on blogging — at least for hosted users — has dissipated, as the platform becomes more focused on being what co-creator Matt Mullenweg has called “the platform for the web.”
The original vision of Ghost was meant to be written on top of WordPress to leverage the massive community of themes and plugins that exist in its ecosystem. But it became clear to O’Nolan that this wouldn’t be possible for technical and philosophical reasons.
While Ghost is open-source and the code will be available on GitHub (O’Nolan is waiting for the project to exit its current prototype stage before making the code public) for users who want to host it themselves, Ghost will also have a hosted offering.
