"Ghost is an Open Source application", tiny github image link in footer and organization has no public repositories.. (https://github.com/tryghost)


No repo's because it's not released yet, it's a kickstarter.

re: tiny github image link, the video does specifically mention it's a project targeted at users, not developers, so I guess having things like that as a footnote make sense. Can't comment on how this strategy will work out, guess we'll see.


Yeah, it took quite long to notice that it was kickstarter ad. Although there is something done if you believe actual kickstarter page.

Also, whole point of first paragraph in the site is to promote that app is open source and what benefits it brings to the users. So using open source for marketing and then kind of hiding actual source.. not nice.
