Hey all,

This idea started when someone I knew wanted to start blogging. We looked through all the available options, but something just didn't seem right. My brother found the same problem among his friends: unless you want to learn all the developing tools, people usually have to settle for either ads, subpar themes or larger costs. We wanted to help those who don't want to do all the technological set up.

Seeing as there were no alternatives for simple fully-managed blogging, we sought to make that alternative. We think it's important that people try new forms of expression. And I've always wanted to see more personal content creation.

Right now, we have our MVP ready of having your own site. We're looking forward to working and solving additional problems that comes with wanting to get a blog up and running.

We are eager to hear your feedback! Cheers

Ghost is open source under MIT license [0], so I think there are no issues. There are others hosting Ghost; some are active on the Ghost forums. I am not aware of any licenses from their GhostPro hosting platform. Hope this helps
