Thoughts on Ghost 7/2014

I've been using Ghost for a little less than two months at this point, and have written a decent number of posts.

Mostly, pretty good. I'm enjoying not having to manage my deployment. Feel lazy about not having updated my theme. I've had this multicolumn thing I've wanted to use on my blog for a long time, but it's going to be a little bit of a pain to port it, and this is good enough for right now. I've got other stuff with higher priorities.

Few pain points:

1. The editor is kind of a pain to use. It like word wraps or something, and if you use a keyboard command to help select some stuff, like you want to go to the beginning of the line you're on with ctrl + left, it will go back until the last actual line break, which is generally the beginning of your paragraph or something. As a programmer, this is super annoying. If you use your mouse to control your cursor all the time, it probably doesn't bother you.

• I get logged out all the damn time. Sometimes I take a long time to write a post, or I'll start and get interrupted, and if it's more than a day or so, I can't save my post, and have to like select all and copy and paste it back in after reauthenticating. Auto saving drafts like gmail would be nice. As a long form blogger, this is super annoying. If you use Twitter to blog all the time, it probably doesn't bother you.
• The editor doesn't have a my browser native spell check for some reason. As a modern human being, this is super annoying. If you are a robot all the time, it probably doesn't bother you.
