Ghost

Ghost 6.0 is here — meet our biggest upgrade yet 🫶 Reach millions of users across the social web 🔎 Understand what works with native analytics ➕ Powerful new creator tools 📈 $100M earned for indie publishers

Today @Ghost crossed $10M ARR, as a bootstrapped non-profit foundation building open source software. Indie publisher revenue earned with Ghost now ~$130M, and accelerating. The world of technology is shifting rapidly, and so is the world of media, creators and journalism. It's hard to keep up with, and even harder to predict. My strong belief, though, is that open software that you own and control is going to be even more important and relevant in the future than it is now. So we're going to keep building it.

@0xRezaRamadhan @stripe support more countries

@Ghost Hey Ghost Team, can you tell Stripe to support more countries 🥀🙏

You: When can we finally have automated welcome emails in Ghost?? Us: Now ghost.org/changelog/welc…

@StoneKarinn No

@Ghost Solid work! I’d love to collaborate—shoot me a DM 📈🚀

who you gonna call to find out why Ghost runs on localhost 2368?

@deemurthy Smart kid

We opened a bank account for our 8 year old and deposited $100. I told him he can keep the cash there or he can invest it in a stock or company he likes. Told him about Google, Amazon, Tesla and he goes great I'll invest in Ghost stock 😭

@bayfolio @Zoho @ZohoCRM You can do this with Zapier: zapier.com/apps/ghost/int…

@Ghost have you guys worked on any integration with @zoho ? specifically @ZohoCRM We are hoping to have emails from Zoho CRM added to Ghost

@mgsiegler @ashwinsrihari Lots of publishers doing this with offers! ghost.org/help/offers/

@ashwinsrihari Appreciated and noted. That would be a good feature request for @Ghost...

All the hate and fear around the Netflix/Warner Bros deal is both silly and comically shortsighted. 3,000 words on the past, present, and future... spyglass.org/netflix-warner…

@_mfridman @KagiHQ We love @KagiHQ ♥️

@Ghost I wonder if @KagiHQ could have some play / integration here. I use “small web” feature and it feels like this fits right in.

Google search is broken. Social algorithms suppress links. Finding good independent writing online has never been harder. We built something to fix that: 🌍 ghost.org/changelog/ghos…

Our first billboard! Live from @Stripe City bfcm.stripe.com

Today @Ghost passed $9M ARR — the first time we've ever crossed a $1M milestone 2x in a calendar year 🎉 Publisher revenue is growing even faster! Now more than $120M GMV earned by writers and journalists using the product to fund their work

Just added 1-click domains to Ghost(Pro), with a .link domain now included with every plan, for free! Thanks to our friends at @ThisIsEntri and .Link 🌐 ghost.org/changelog/free…

Where are my @ghost devs?

Good to see the @EdinburghMinute move to @Ghost hasn't dented readers' outbound visits to local publishers. Off to a good start for day 1, with thousands visiting @BBCScotlandNews @EdinReporter @STVNews @EdinburghLive_ @edinburghpaper and many more. It all adds up daily.

It's a big day! The Edinburgh Minute has moved from Substack to @Ghost. Hopefully you won't notice. Here's why: edinburghminute.com/a-new-home-for…

@DiamantThomy docs.ghost.org/faq/mailgun-ne…

@Ghost I’ve seen older posts saying newsletters can only be sent via Mailgun. Is that still the case? For a self-hosted setup, users should be free to use their own SMTP. Locking this feature to one closed provider goes against the idea of real software freedom defined by RMS and the FSF.

@wesbos now hang on just a second

22 year old Bosch dishwasher gave up the ghost. Replacing with a new Bosch 800 series. These things are awesome

Congrats on the launch 🎉

Aggregate publisher revenue on @Ghost is currently growing at ~$1M ARR per *week* The business of independent publishing and journalism is looking in better shape than it has in a very long time
