Ghost

What is Ghost?

Ghost is a headless CMS (Content Management System) and modern publishing platform built on Node.js. It was created as a direct alternative to traditional, bloated blogging software, with a core focus on simplicity, performance, and professional publishing needs. The platform offers a clean, distraction-free editor for writing, native SEO tools, built-in newsletter functionality, and robust membership/subscription features to help creators monetize their audience. Unlike more generalized website builders, Ghost is specifically optimized for content-driven sites. It can be run as a fully managed cloud-hosted service (Ghost(Pro)) for ease of use, or self-hosted on your own server for full control. Its API-first, headless architecture also allows it to serve as a backend for publishing content to various channels, including websites, mobile apps, and other digital experiences.
