# Ghost (https://devrel.directory/directory/ghost)

Open-source publishing platform behind many engineering blogs and paid developer newsletters.

A complete publishing stack: a clean editor, memberships and paid subscriptions, native newsletter sending, and a theme ecosystem, self-hostable or managed on Ghost(Pro). Performance is strong out of the box and there is no plugin sprawl to babysit. Fits developer-audience publications that want to own their platform and their subscriber list.
