@jonnym1ller That's such a great Q! We've observed so many shifts over the last few years in how people publish online, how they interact with publishers, and how those publishers themselves are finding their place within the wider market. It's tumultuous to say the least. Overall people are publishing less often, with a greater focus on social networks than indie publications. The whole world has no idea what publishers can/can't be trusted. And publishers themselves are, as ever, growing poorer by the day because Google and Facebook have truly cornered the advertising market. Paired with a general sentiment of being utterly fed up with content marketing and "10 weird ways to do [x] to your cat" listicles - we arrive at a place which is decidedly dark for publishing as a whole. A lot of people are pretty doom and gloom about it these days - but I actually think there's tremendous opportunity. I think there are a lot of areas here which are ripe for innovation, but the clearest of all is in business model. If we can find sustainable ways to get content publishers paid, then they will be able to focus on doing what they do best. I'm not a big believer in clapping as a form of payment, but we've certainly got some of our own ideas in this department :)

@levelsio Heyo Pietz with the hard hitting questions! This is a fun one because we've changed tack on this slightly since Ghost started. Originally we came at this from a similar perspective to iOS: We're going to just make a really great responsive web app which is compatible across all devices. We'll focus on the web experience, and then we'll leave it up to indie creators to make third party apps if they want. We learned two main things (both directly, and from the experiences of others): 1. It's still immensely hard to create compelling or powerful experiences using mobile browser tech, and there are so many potholes and compromises along the way. Even if you do a great job, you still end up with a compromised end result and a limited set of functionality as a result of having no access to most hardware/native APIs. 2. With the advent of Electron and react-native + the progression of mobile operating systems as a whole, it has actually gotten significatly easier to make native apps in the last few years. Overall, we're in a place where I think it requires *less* resources to create a *more* compelling experience on mobile with a native app than mobile web app. That's good in some ways, but sad in many others. We're definitely also interested in Google's PWA stuff, but I'm personally pretty allergic to how hard their "developer advocates" are trying to ram it down everyone's throat. We'll have to see how that one pans out!

@erwblo That's very kind! We're actually big fans of Medium - the two platforms aren't mutually exclusive. A lot of people don't realise that you can publish a post on Ghost, and then click on "import" in Medium to republish it. This both gives your story access to Medium's network of readers, and creates a proper rel canonical meta tag so that your Ghost site is what ranks in search engines. Win/win!

@vickychijwani @felixrieseberg @johnonolan Congratulations, and what an incredible effort on the part of @vickychijwani! I can't wait for the iOS app to come online. I wish I had the chops to chip in with that.

@mbmusgrove Thanks, Michael! I'm standing on the shoulders of giants here :)

@csallen Thanks so much Courtland! <3

@csallen Thanks Courtland! :)

@ajlkn look it's not my fault that Carrd is so good, that's on you.

Multiple blog support is coming! I've been laying the foundations for it for a while now. UI is the major remaining piece :)
