Ghost VS Directus

Diversifying a lot. Next acquisition will be Ghost(https://ghost.org/) I bet. Similar DNA, fits in the portfolio (If they are trying to match the feature set of Google) and have no VC backing.

For example, if you are in a country where you can accept Stripe and are publishing a newsletter through, Substack or using the Ghost platform, enabling the ability to accept payments is a few clicks away. For those who cannot accept payment with Stripe, well, you are up the creek without a paddle. I do not know about you, but I see that as a barrier to access.

This response from one of the Tea developers seems disingenuous https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/19743#issuecomment-19...

How could they not have predicted this outcome?

glee our dev friendly blogging setup has been undergoing a huge transformation for the last few weeks. For those who don't know, glee is a simple open source CLI tool that converts markdown posts into ghost blog posts.

Ghost: The Underground Storyteller

Ghost is used by creators to run their own website to publish private content

Not the OP but it looks to be https://ghost.org/

I use it as well for a small development blog and it's been an enjoyable experience

PlanetScale and Ghost were previously incompatible due to differences in their support for foreign key constraints. With PlanetScale now supporting foreign key constraints, a seamless collaboration between the two is achievable. Nonetheless, there remain minor incompatibilities that require resolution.

I'm a big fan of Ghost for new blogs https://github.com/tryghost/ghost

I don't know, it's something I've wanted many times.

Recently I discovered https://directus.io/ which comes pretty close and it's open source.

You could try https://www.airtable.com/ (check the prices) or https://directus.io/ (check the prices) or hire someone :)

I using Directus CMS on several projects with pretty complicated flows, api extensions etc. probably there will be some work if you move. I liked Directus is because it's standard SQL I can always move my DB and documents to another solution. I don't use their hosted solution but they have an unlimited offering for $100 / month.

Have you looked at Directus? I’m not sure exactly what your needs are (sorry if I’ve misunderstood). I used it for my most recent project as the backend for data entry/queries/administration. It supports MySQL, but admins don’t need to know anything about SQL to do complex queries/filters/CSV exports from the Directus UI.
