It was great to meet with @jannis@jannis.io and @mariia@itsmariia.co, in Amsterdam today. Ghost community is so lucky to have Jannis. I'm sure we'll be in close contact with him to make Ghost ecosystem greater.

After years of back and forth, I decided to give a serious try to Obsidian. I loved how it leverages Markdown frontmatter as searchable "properties". I'm planning continue to use Apple Notes for daily notes and Obsidian for structural ones.

Ending up in spam folder as an email marketing strategy service. So inspiring.

I made a simple tool to embed YouTube videos to your blog posts in a privacy friendly and performance optimized way. https://github.com/muratcorlu/better-youtube-embed

When I saw WhatsApp’s interoperability notification with third-party applications today, I was happy for a moment. However, when I looked at the implementation details, it seems that this too will be Meta’s new data collection tool. Why are WhatsApp servers at the center?

I added more CSS parameters for my Ghost ActivityPub embed and put it on my homepage sidebar by using new customization options. Check GitHub repo for details: https://github.com/synapsmedia/ghost-activitypub-embed/

The feature I was waiting for since years arrived DuckDuckGo: Blocking sites from search results. This will give extra peace of mind to my life for sure!

This is a screenshot from Safari on iOS 26. I love how "invisible" the browser is. It gives a full-screen navigating experience. Now web content even cross under the iOS top bar. This gives much more flexibility for web designers and developers.

I just noticed Apple Music Classical’s Listening Guide feature. Very impressive!

20 credits for Opus on Windsurf. I hope it fixes all of my issues with a single prompt! 😃

You can use HTML card for this. Reader is showing HTML card without running JS in it. So a card like below shows the link in AP reader (also in email), but not in AP Reader.

But I think, it would be better to have a card, like "Email Only" but able to pick platforms we want to show it.

New in Ghost 6.0! Analytics Dashboard with Web Analytics looks great! Here is a screenshot from my blog, running on synapsmedia.com

Ghost v6 is on the horizon. And we already have an instance running on Synaps Media with the first pre-release of v6. 🚀
