Btw does Ghost have an app or is it just web based?

Matthew Doyle's avatar

Just web based unfortunately. For now.

Matthew, smart move prioritizing control... Ghost's open-source, custom edge beats platform squeezes (Substack's algorithm shifts mirror YouTube's ~20% quality-view drop from '24-'26). Blogsitefy.com complements that: seamless Docs imports and redirects to your Ghost site so content flows remain brittle-proof forever. Never locked again. Smooth transition?

Does that mean there won’t be new articles here?

Kudos for leaving Substack. I wish more people had your level of integrity.

Bravo on getting as far away as possible from the oligarchs (tech and otherwise) who are ruining the world.

I hope it doesn't screw anything up, but I signed up again (with the same email but different CC) at Ghost before I read the substance of this post about stuff easily transferring over.

Good move Matt. I moved to AntennaPod for podcast aggregation. It's also open source and not tucked into some other tech behemoth that wants to know what toilet paper I use to wipe my ass.

I don’t know if you have ever been to China, but there are some public restrooms where if you don’t bring your own toilet paper, you have to scan your Alipay or WeChat account to get some toilet paper. Of course things might have changed since the last time I was there.
