Hey @TryGhost i love your idea, im just curious if u guys will be giving support for news websites with multiple authors.
@themacified Yes. Not at day 1 (need to do the basics first) - but that's absolutely in our long term plan :)

@TryGhost will be possible to set permissions for each author? For example, user A can save post only as a draft, but B can publish it.
@micwro It isn't possible yet - but it absolutely will be in the future, yes :)

@micwro Totally - we want to build an awesome editorial flow so authors and editors can collaborate properly :) this is a part of that

Sounds like a lot more than a blogging tool.

We follow up with John O'Nolan, find out what it feels like to raise $300,000 in 30 days via Kickstarter for "Ghost," and how his project's developing. John shares advice on getting publicity, tells us what he wouldn't do again and how he got Mashable to profile his project.

Hacker News thread

Sep 15, 2013 humorous HN comment

It's just the turn of the wheel. Should Ghost succeed, odds are quite good that in about seven years, you'll be reading about how old and crufty Ghost is, held back by it's aging Node.js platform, and how some new hotness or other is coming along to give you just blogging (or whatever).
To a first approximation, every web project starts life as a "clean, simple X without all that cruft". It is the destiny of most projects to follow that with A: failure or B: becoming the next pile of sludge to inspire a "clean, simple X".

Another HN comment

I'd love to see a platform that is easily deployed on shared hosting (written in php, using mysql) but that lends itself better to version control and switching environments. It should keep configuration in plain text instead of in the database, and it should allow easy definition of node types in addition to the standards (post, page, comment, etc.). These should also be defined in plain text instead of in the database (I'm looking at you, Drupal). Meanwhile, theming should be just as easy as with Wordpress.
