What it is

Ghost is a CMS focused on publishing: a clean editor, themes, and membership features that let readers sign up, subscribe and pay.

Why it stands out

Posts can go out as newsletters at the same time they are published, which makes it a self-hostable alternative to newsletter platforms. It is run by a non-profit foundation.

Who it is for

Independent writers and publications building a subscriber business.
