Summary

The Daily team transitioned from using Webflow CMS to Ghost as their blogging platform, seeking a balance between flexibility and opinionatedness. They considered various options like Wordpress, Contentful, and Ghost, weighing factors such as self-hosting, custom development, CI/CD, and hosting. After evaluating these considerations, they chose Ghost due to its platform built from the ground up for blogging/publishing, SEO-first approach, open-source nature, easily customizable features, managed hosting options, and monolithic headless capabilities. The migration process was relatively straightforward, with a focus on theme development using local development tools and deploying the theme to their account on Ghost Pro. With Ghost now in place, they're exploring its Content API for integrating content into other areas of their dashboard and potentially using it for newsletters.
