Nice work! How does this compare with a self-hosted wordpress?

Honestly, I have never used Wordpress and I think there is not much difference. Both are CMS.

Things which I liked with Ghost: 1. Easy to write, publish (that's one of the biggest challenge for at least me to write more) 2. Lot of good add-ons (I guess Wordpress also will have same)

Node JS based instead of running a full LAMP stack. I believe ghost supports sqlite for low traffic.
Can confirm. Currently it does use Sqlite. Of course, one can replace it with mysql or mariadb.
