About Ghost
Ghost ships steady creator-facing polish and cements its public-good positioning.
Ghost's recent cadence is a weekly drumbeat of small but visible creator UX wins: in-product theme editing, saved audience segments, native share buttons, welcome-email design controls, and a Home Assistant integration. Alongside that, the project secured Digital Public Goods Alliance recognition, which is more positioning than feature, but a deliberate one for a platform that competes against venture-backed newsletter tools.
