Hey everyone, John from Ghost here - this is our 9th time on Hacker News in 8 years, because of course Ghost originated from a Hacker News blog post that gave way to the original Kickstarter campaign.

The platform has matured a huge amount in the years since, and we've gone from a scrappy codebase to a relatively mature architecture.

Our next big steps will be to decouple the product further, separating out the core API, admin client and front end so that they can be both built and deployed independently of one another - which is a bit more nuanced in a decentralised environment than it might otherwise be!

After that, not sure. Maybe crypto payments. We'll see

Thanks as always for your support over the years

I am assuming Ghost is still Open Source and can be self-hosted for free... it seems like their website is trying very hard to hide this information. I'm seeing only mention of this in the FAQ section of the pricing page.

It is a bit hidden, but yes, self-hosted is very much still an option.

Developers are not our primary target audience, but there's still a large "Developers" link in the resources section of the main navigation - as well as a GitHub badge in the footer on every single page.

I think if we were "trying very hard to hide it" we would probably do a much better job of it than that.
