Reading this post, I get the feeling @phenomlab tried ghost, but went back to long-form nodebb posts. Is that the case?
I also started blogging on ghost, but never got very far. The platform is… peculiar. They don’t implement comments, and using disquss is not a great idea if you care about privacy of your users. Then, the last thing that put me off is that they don’t even have versioning (you cannot go back to old versions of your posts). NodeBB has this! The editor, which should be the shinning star for Ghost, is one of those ‘block based’ Guttenberg clones, so not to my liking either. It could very well be that long-form nodebb posts are a better solution than Ghost?If so, very interesting, and congrats to Nodebb!

Yes, exactly that…

That’s one way of putting it

Well, I evaluated my usage of Ghost, and just didn’t like the complexity of it when I could achieve pretty much the same results with NodeBB, as demonstrated here
To me, it seemed pointless to have another site completely act as an area where I could write articles, then have to use a plugin from NodeBB to provide commenting - why not just have it all in NodeBB ?

connect ghost with gatsby and CF pages and enjoy the 100 to 200 ms page load speed

@Hari I get that load speed with NodeBB alone 🤭
