I love the idea behind Ghost because they are building a proper next-gen blogging platform beyond the wasteland of all the blog/CMSs of the 2000's that saw Wordpress come out on top.

It's like they learned from all the mistakes of the past and are building something future-oriented minus the bloat that came with the iterative development of Wordpress

All kinds of awesome stuff in this release, thanks Ghost team!

Still sad that apps didn't make it into 0.5 as planned, but the API and the new admin screen make up for that.

Yes, this is the release that will get me using Ghost. I've been waiting for them to introduce multi-user blogs for a while.

It says they're moving to a faster release cycle, so maybe you won't have to wait too long.

I've been using ghost on http://christopherbull.name for a while. It's great. Initially it was a middleman site, but that just requrired too much code to get setup. Hosted ghost is perfect for what I wanted: A simple place to write.

It would be useful to have something on the home page to tell the prospective user "Why use Ghost and not WordPress, or X, or Y".

I would settle for an Import from WordPress tool.

I have been unsuccessful in finding a demo of the new default theme. Is that available anywhere?
