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.
Veed.io
Veed.io is a browser-based video editor aimed at content creators, marketers, and social media teams who need to produce polished videos without installing software. It handles trimming, subtitles, screen recording, and basic AI voiceover in one interface. The auto-subtitle tool is genuinely fast and accurate enough for most English-language content, though accuracy drops on accents and technical vocabulary.
