There are "ah ha!" moments, and there are also "oh no!" moments.

I love Ghost's simplicity for blogging, but then I spotted an egregious spelling mistake in one of the articles I'd published. I went back to the editor to check where I'd missed the ubiquitous red squiggly line, and found there wasn't one. No squiggly line, and in fact no spellchecker at all!

Given that spelling is very important for blogs, and that all browsers have very effective spellcheckers built in, I'm at a loss to understand why this wasn't bug number 1 to the developers. They use a markdown editor that somehow kills browser spellchecking, but there are several alternatives out there and this was a definite "Oh no!" moment for me.
