Hey PH crew! Blogging was my passion—until tech nightmares hit. Servers crashed, security freaked me out, updates never ended. I just wanted to create. So, I built Whoa! It’s managed Ghost blogs for creators like us who hate maintenance. No server setup, no backups, no limits on traffic or subscribers. You focus on creating; we handle the rest. After weeks of tweaking, I’m stoked to share Whoa! with you. What’s your worst blogging hassle? Drop a comment—I’d love to hear your thoughts and make Whoa! even better!

@luobaishun Hey Luo, congrats on the launch! :)


I am planning to start my own blog. Could you guide me how is WordPress and Ghost different? Which one shall I pick?

LuoSays

@rohanrecommends Hey Rohan, thanks for the support!


Great question — WordPress is super flexible with tons of plugins, but that also means more setup and maintenance. Ghost is focused, fast, and built for publishing—it’s perfect if writing and growing your audience is your main goal.


If you want to avoid the technical stuff, Whoa! makes Ghost totally hassle-free 😊

Rohan Chaubey

@luobaishun That makes sense. Thanks for the direction, Luo. :)

Congratulations and all the best for the launch - got reminded a lot of Notion when I saw your design templates/ images in the carousel (not in a bad way) :)

Quick question: Can I integrate blogs in my own website - with aim to bring traffic to my site when someone clicks to read my blog?

LuoSays

@akritip Thanks so much! And totally get the Notion vibe—we’ll keep refining the visuals to better reflect what Whoa! really is. 😊


As for integration—yes! You can absolutely use Whoa! as a headless CMS and pull blog content into your own site. That way, visitors stay on your domain while you still enjoy all the benefits of Ghost behind the scenes. Let me know if you need help setting it up!

Crucial question: Do you use your own product? 👀 If yes, can I see your page? :)

LuoSays

@busmark_w_nika Thanks for the support, Nika! 🙌


Yes, I do—Whoa! actually started as a solution to my own blogging headaches. Here are 3 blogs running on it:

Would love to hear what you think! 😊

Nika

@luobaishun Looks cool. Will you apply any AI element to this tool in the future? E.g. something similar to no-code AI tools? @Scene has something like that

LuoSays

@busmark_w_nika Thanks Nika! 🚀


We’ll definitely explore it—if AI can truly help creators write better or faster, we’re all in. Right now we’re listening closely to what users need, and will build accordingly! 🙌

Congratulations! For me, this is the absolute alternative of notion sites and wordpress.

I'm tired of 100+ useless features of wordpress, and the design of notion sites that looks like just a notion page, never a professional blog.


I hope you show the interface of the editor or the examples(like templates) so that others can understand more easily. Actually, because of the design of your site, I thought this was just another notion site with white background. And I could finally find out that it wasn't, with your 3 blogs you're running in your comment.


Good luck! :)

LuoSays

@pritraveler Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback—and I totally get where you’re coming from!


I’ll definitely work on showing more examples and templates to make it clearer from the start. Really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience—it helps a lot! 🙌

💡 Bright idea

explain me in great detail why i should use this instead of hashnode? please write the answer in plain text by yourself. no chatgpt fluff

LuoSays

@maxcomx Great question, Max—and just to clarify, when you're comparing Hashnode and Whoa!, you're really comparing Hashnode vs Ghost, since Whoa! is a fully managed Ghost setup.


Hashnode isn’t open source, and if you want full control—like removing their branding, adding more than 5 team members or with advanced features—you’ll need to pay $199/month.


Even then, you still can't:

  • Customize templates or add plugins

  • Monetize your content (no paid subscriptions)

  • Set custom routes or support multilingual content

With Whoa! (Ghost), you get all of that by default—plus total ownership of your blog and audience.


Correct me if I got anything wrong, but this is what I’ve seen so far.

🎉 Huge congrats on launching Whoa! @luobaishun Love how you’re solving real pain points for creators—managed Ghost blogs with ZERO maintenance? Genius! 🔥 The “unlimited traffic + subscribers” focus is spot-on for scaling creators.


Quick suggestion: Add a built-in SEO checklist or content analytics dashboard? It’d perfectly align with your “focus on writing” vibe!
PS: We’re building Tate-A-Tate (no-code AI agents), and your users might love building a blog with Agent. Let’s chat collabs? 👋 What’s next on the roadmap?

LuoSays

@rocsheh Thank you so much for the amazing support and thoughtful suggestions! 🙌


A built-in SEO checklist and content analytics are definitely on our radar—they'd fit perfectly with our "just focus on writing" mission. Would love to chat about a collab too—I'll DM you! 🚀


As for the roadmap: more templates, easier migrations, and some creator tools are coming soon!

This is exactly the kind of tool creators have been waiting for!

As someone who’s worked with content-heavy teams and solo bloggers, the struggle with updates, security, and server issues is very real—and often pulls focus away from what really matters: creating great content.


Whoa! feels like the “Notion for blogging” with its clean UI, focus on simplicity, and zero-maintenance promise. Ghost + managed hosting is a powerful combo. Excited to see how this evolves—especially if you add integrations or analytics in the future.


Great job, Luo and team—this solves a real pain point beautifully!

LuoSays

@suryansh_tiwari2 Thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful feedback! 🙌


You captured exactly what we’re aiming for—helping creators stay focused on what matters most. We’re definitely planning to expand with more integrations and deeper analytics. Excited for what’s ahead! 🚀

Suryansh Tiwari

@luobaishun Thanks, Luo!

Love the direction you’re heading in. The fact that you’re already thinking about deeper analytics and integrations shows how committed you are to solving real creator problems—not just today, but for the long run.


Looking forward to seeing how Whoa! evolves. If you ever open up for beta testers or feature suggestions, count me in!
