Another year, and several milestones all at once.

12 years since @ghost.org launched on Kickstarter, now at $8M ARR, and powering almost $100M in revenue for independent publishers 📈

A few reflections on building an open source publishing platform, for a long time:

Had a lot of Qs over the last few weeks about how @ghost.org is going to avoid ending up in the same situation as WordPress

A lot of trust has been broken

So, I wrote up how we structure & think about business, governance, open source, community & ecosystems:
