What they are
Ghost
Ghost is an independent publishing platform that combines a CMS, email newsletter tool, and membership system in one place. It is used by independent writers, journalists, and media companies who want to own their audience without relying on third-party platforms. The open-source core can be self-hosted for free, while Ghost Pro handles hosting at a monthly fee. The tradeoff is that it is more opinionated than WordPress and has a steeper learning curve for non-technical users.
Opus Clip
AI tool that finds the most engaging moments in long videos and turns them into vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Adds dynamic captions and scores clips by predicted virality.
