I used Ghost as a non-headless CMS and had no idea it could be used as headless. Neat!

That’s a great point, especially for migrating. I’ve worked where we had a huge nearly unmaintainable Drupal instance and it could’ve probably saved us a lot of time to just jam a GraphQL API on-top instead of trying to synchronize everything to another separate database. (Many lessons learned from that experience.)

My biggest gripe with most CMSes is how they handle organization (tags, categories, hierarchies...) as it always seems to come off as too flexible in some ways and not enough in others. Oh, and scaling, but at least you can always cache everything.

I'm considering using Ghost for a project.

A part as the usual CMS, but also to drive a portion of a mobile app, and in that case its using essentially the headless part.

Since you have used it, any caveats I should be aware?

Thanks.

I haven't upgraded to the latest version lately, and mostly just use it for more or less casual blogging so far. But, my experience has been positive. The editing experience is pretty good.

I think for bigger, more complicated sites, it is probably still lagging behind the old guard in raw features. But, on the other hand, it is a breath of fresh air for what it does do. So, if it supports the features you need, it seems like a solid choice to me.

Seems to be my impression as well. Thanks.
