Reviews (Snippets from G2)

Pros

• Simple, clean interface, easy to use and set up, has pretty much all the features we need, and the API is well documented.
• Ghost is excellent if you're thinking of starting on the JAM stack. It's fast, reliable and the best part is the admin UX it offers.
• All in one integration, easy to use, very clean front end and good blogging experience.
• The interface is clean and uncluttered and the ability to use markdown is beautiful and drool-worthy (even though I just learned it for the sake of trying Ghost).

Cons

• I wish I could more easily resize images, but after learning some basic markdown that's no longer an issue.
• If you delete a user you delete their articles and it is hard delete not retrievable.
• There are some annoying UI behaviors here and there. Using the editing interface exclusively for markdown can be a pain.
• Sometimes it freezes but I understand that it is due to high volume of feeds coming in.
