Ghost memberships beyond Stripe Aug 20, 2026 00:40:15 André, founder of PayGlue, joins Jannis on connecting Ghost memberships to Stripe alternatives — Polar, Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Creem and more. Merchant-of-record tax, a replaceable paywall, pay-what-you-want, trust through open source, and why sustainable tools skip the free tier.

Building a Ghost site with no Ghost experience Aug 6, 2026 00:30:15 Mark Alexander − the Melbourne writer behind Tech That Fits − joins Jannis on judging gadgets by whether they earn their place in a small home, choosing Ghost over Webflow and WordPress, building a first custom theme with Fantasma, and reaching readers via Google and Apple News.

A Web Hosting Company at a Print Festival Jul 23, 2026 00:21:21 Why is Magic Pages, a Ghost hosting company, sponsoring IndieCon — an independent print festival in Hamburg?

Better Search and Analytics for Ghost Jul 9, 2026 00:51:33 Chris Emunds — the solo developer behind Vellumine, an advanced search and analytics platform for Ghost — joins Jannis to talk about closing the gaps in Ghost's SodoSearch, semantic search with local LLMs, and why treating your day job as a superpower is the honest path to bootstrapping software.

What is Magic Pages? Jun 11, 2026 00:43:14 No script, no slides − just Jannis and the whole team, Mariia & Sviatoslav, on one deceptively simple question: What is Magic Pages? Support that isn't a ticket queue, being a “translator” for Ghost, and the people we actually build for.
