It turns out that my stint on WordPress was short-lived. One month, to be exact. I've restarted my blog on Ghost 6 with all the bells-and-whistles of Federation, built-in membership management, and native analytics from TinyBird.

Design

I'm using a new theme, Thesis, from Priority Vision, which reminds very much of a particular three-column Mac app that I've worked on. The pièce de résistance: the little satellite icon in the sidebar (from lucide.dev) representing NetNewsWire.

Federation

The website has its own Fediverse persona/mind of its own:

  • @index@stuartbreckenridge.net on Mastodon, Threads, and Flipboard
  • @feed.stuartbreckenridge.net.ap.brid.gy‬ on Bluesky

Membership

You can join as a member. It's free. You get the ability to comment and access to some member's only content (e.g., easy theme installs for NetNewsWire). I might send you the occasional email.

Miscellaneous

Most of the redirect work is done, so WordPress-style URLs (yyyy/mm/<post_title>) should redirect to the new Ghost URL. There's no JSON feed with Ghost, so you'll need to resubscribe to the new RSS feed.
