But that's not all. I'm also doing a session on A2A that will knock your socks off. Come see how to deploy agents and watch them work together completely dynamically.

This pattern is very doable using a combination of AWS services and Ghost WebHooks because Ghost is so flexible and extensible.

At the same time, once a post moved to free, it would trigger a WebHook to create the llms.txt file associated with each post.

To enable this pattern, I built a system that included two tiers - free and paid. Using EventBridge as a cron mechanism, an automated system would change posts from paid to free after seven days.

I wanted to create a blog that was easily accessible with no ads but also had an option for revenue generation. I settled on a time gated option - paid members get access immediately, everyone else gets full access after 7 days.

Unfortunately, when self-hosting Ghost and ActivityPub, this proved a bit of a challenge. In between Oktoberfest activities, I managed to work through two separate issues and get it working. Harder than I would have hoped, but hopefully my pain will make it easier for others.

LLTBP was such a fun show. We even got to see Billy Corgan.

The fix ended up being pretty reasonable, but it took some digging to figure out where I had gone wrong.

I also stumbled through the process of migrating from one domain to another. I had set up my site on a temp domain while I fiddled with Ghost and deployments. When I migrated from my temp domain to my permanent domain... all of my images were broken.

Probably can't take credit for that, but it was fun.

Apologize for tuning in because of your posts. My bad.

It was a lot of fun building this, so take a look around and let me know what you think. Definitely learned a lot doing this and will be sharing that in the upcoming days/weeks.

Right now I'm experimenting with time-gating content. Premium subscribers ($2/month) get content immediately, while free subscribers get the same content a week later.

One thing that has really impressed me about Ghost is it's ability to be customized. It includes several out of the box integrations, but also allows for custom hooks. In the upcoming posts, we'll look at what we've done with some of those.

Ghost is so good looking. Working on a deployment for myself as well.
