Quick update this week:

No more downloading and uploading zips — now you can make quick Ghost theme edits directly in your browser 🎨

@CliffordW6n @Ghost Thanks for noticing! An upstream provider had an unusual DNS issue this morning.
Seems to be resolved now but we're monitoring closely.

@Ghost @TransistorFM Podtastic!

[John O'Nolan @JohnONolan]

Today @Ghost crossed $10M ARR, as a bootstrapped non-profit foundation building open source software.

Indie publisher revenue earned with Ghost now ~$130M, and accelerating.

The world of technology is shifting rapidly, and so is the world of media, creators and journalism. It's hard to keep up with, and even harder to predict.

My strong belief, though, is that open software that you own and control is going to be even more important and relevant in the future than it is now.

So we're going to keep building it.

Major releases like @Ghost 6.0 take a village. In addition to our incredible team, a huge thanks to our OSS contributors ❤️

@githubstatus Seems more widespread than copilot - can't create PRs or push to branches

Publishers on Ghost are growing faster than ever in 2025, and keeping 100% of their revenue 📈

Tangle is an wonderful example of a sustainable modern media business that's doing things right, winning both admiration and respect.

Congrats on hitting $3M ARR!

@tamarawinter I once offered a suited man on a train to borrow some headphones as I had spares and that sorted the issue out 😬

I’m guilty of letting my kids watch things out loud sometimes but only once they have enraged my fellow passengers enough that even baby shark is less annoying 🙈

Independent media requires independent technology

Alongside @GoogleNewsInit, @LIONPubs & @tinynewsco — we're working to create a brighter future for journalism

Publishers choose Ghost because they get to own the technology that powers their business →

Alright, I'm publishing it.

I've had a lot of questions over the last few weeks about how @Ghost is going to avoid ending up in the same situation as WordPress.

A lot of trust in open source has been broken.

So, I spent some time writing up how we structure and think about business, governance, open source, community, and ecosystems more broadly.

Our setup is pretty different to most, and while I certainly don't think we've got it all figured out — I think our model is especially relevant at this particular moment in time.

Trust, alignment and independence are critical issues that can't be ignored.

So, here are my views on the subject I care about the most.

@JohnONolan The puppies OMFG

@rocan @QuinnyPig @Ghost @JohnONolan This meant a lot, Thank you ❤️

[Hannah Wolfe @ErisDS]

This is what 11 years of going steady looks like 😍

[John O'Nolan @JohnONolan]

We recently passed $7M ARR with @Ghost — No growth hacks, no funding, no sales. Just steady iteration and improvement on what we do, over a long period of time.

It's not a startup speed-run, it's a different game altogether.

Gone are the days of endless tabs and hunting for links. Now you can search and link to old posts, pages, tags, and authors directly in the Ghost editor. Keep writing without the context switch! ✍️ https://t.co/ydokqc95wx

Today we're excited to share that Ghost is going to federate over ActivityPub and become part of the largest open publishing network in the world 🌐

We hope you'll join us! 🎉

@kammysliwiec Hey, the Ghost team are investigating Nestjs and I was wondering if you'd be up for a chat?

Also sorry about any weird notifications - sent this from the wrong account originally.
