Not clear how those changes would make it more accessible or what problem you're actually trying to solve? There are lots of things we're working on improving but I promise you changing the programming language of any of those components wouldn't make any difference to the end experience of the software.

A lot of blogging platforms (including Ghost) start out at $5/mo targeting personal use -- but the ones that survive never stay there. Probably some worthwhile takeaways from that :)

Yeah, the Go decision was more because of familiarity and some tooling I have available for Dynamo. The real problem I was tackling is zero marginal cost multi tenancy. Right now a new Ghost installation costs 500MB on a disk and 1GB in RAM, and I would like to to cost one row in an existing database instead.

And yeah, don’t think the $5 / month is sustainable for a company, but for a solo founder it might work. Of course, that might be a classic case of this time it’s different.
