Useful CMS, easy-to-use, it does have its limitations, but that's to be expected given the nature of the software. Useful for basic blog and email management.

Great platform but comes with limitation. Sending newsletter emails is strictly limited to MailGun. It's hard for new bloggers/publishers who don't use MailGun. Mailgun allows only 10/day for a new account, then you need to fix the email sending batch "in the code".

everything is brilliant. but one major drawback is dropdown menus/easy way to create a glossary/index. and setting up SPF/Dmarc to add a custom email sender

I've been a WordPress User for a while now, but Ghost takes the blogging experience one step further with newsletter integration. The interface is easy to use and great support!

A tool of great value. Templates allow for quick launch of blog or newsletters. Documentation is available and makes it easy to review, add, create and adjust current newsletter.

We've been using ghost for over 2 years now and we regret the lockin. It does a lot and does many things well but even more so it does a lot of things very badly: - The mariadb support drop was a major complication. - The codebase is amateur with a lot of todo comments, non functional areas and - The admin API is very limited, meaning you have to reverse engineer backend API yourself to do more complex tasks. - The front end is slow and very difficult to extend. Theming is a real mess with a lot of hard coded areas that require very awkward patching. The front-end is making any long-term support almost impossible: - There's no version control for articles. There's no individual article backup for implementing your own version control and automation. The admin API is there but it's very difficult to use. - There's no way to extend or modify UI. For example there's no mass modification, tagging or any advance features that you'd expect from a long-term CMS. - It's really slow and most components are not compatible with the modern web. There's no predictable media naming for lazy preloading and other small issues that severely damages SEO potential. Honestly, the value provided by Ghost is overshadowed by things that are just broken or badly designed. We regret basing our project on it.

It's a huge potential engine to easy start your media!

The email system exclusively supports Mailgun.

Positive experience with using the hosted service. I just hope to see more design options in the marketplace (free and paid)

I've been using Ghost as my blog platform for several years and I'm very happy with the addition of comments for posts, integrated membership sign-up, and email campaign capabilities! If you want to publish content, it's an awesome platform.
