Ghost

Open-Source Publishing Platform

The open-source platform professional publishers use to run websites, newsletters, and memberships.

The challenge

Independent publishers needed to run a website, send newsletters, and sell subscriptions from one place, instead of stitching together a CMS, an email tool, and a payments provider.

The solution

We contributed engineering work to the Ghost ecosystem — a Node.js publishing platform with a modern editor, native newsletters with audience segmentation, and Stripe-powered free and paid membership tiers, extensible through an integration and theme marketplace.
