Ghost VS Express

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

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

express - one of the most popular middleware tools, lightweight and easy to learn. docs

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:

app.listen(3000); ``` Now you can run your server by executing `node index.js`. Your web application will be accessible at http://localhost:3000/, where you'll see "Hello, world!" displayed in your browser. Congratulations! 🎉 You've successfully set up basic routing with Express.js! This guide covered only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to utilizing Express.js features. Explore its extensive documentation (https://expressjs.com/) to discover more possibilities. Remember, with Express.js, you have the power to build efficient and scalable web applications. Happy coding!

Converting a large Express.js application from JavaScript to TypeScript can be a challenging task. For many applications, this represents a significant portion of their technical debt, as the process may span many days, if not months, and new changes are typically not allowed during the conversion.

Nitro is a nice https webserver that you can deploy everywhere. Comparing it to express, it doesn't need weird middlewares for json, it has a simple way to support caching, a file system router, tasks and scheduled tasks that avoid quite a few shell scripts, db:migrations etc, plugins, KV storages, SQL connectors, websockets...

ExpressoTS fully supports Express middleware.
