TBH, I’m extremely interested in this since I’ve been wanting to run a ghost page but I’m unable to afford it in anyway currently.
Ghost is an open source publishing platform. Think some kind of evolved medium of sorts. It can be found at https://ghost.org/
I’m not really sure it does align with the project philosophies tho. It’s There are some built in tools that interact with some services that I think we’d rather avoid (google SEO stuff and some) also I have no idea of what would be the impact of this service in the current infrastructure.
The positives would be having an specialized platform for longform posts that groups and/or people could use to host different kind of texts in an “pretty” form so to say and all those statistics and reporting tools could be really helpful to know if the texts are reaching people.
But is it really interesting? Is it feasible? Are there other tools that could be used instead? Are there better tools? How much overlap does this have with other tools already available?
More than a “request” of sorts I think this post should be more of a discussion than anything else.
